Evelyn Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I enjoyed all the Bosch seasons. They were my “download to watch on planes” staple for most of the early part of my basketball travels this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilfrid Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I tried The Studio but shut it down halfway through episode 1. Story just too stupid for the show to be funny. Am I wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilfrid Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Funny? Nasty. 900 dead including countless children and it wasn't Kool-Aid. How is this getting good reviews? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollywood Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Just caught up with "Eric" a 6 part procedural and then some on Netflix. Well acted particularly by Benedict Cumberbatch and McKinley Belcher III. Set in NYC in 1985, it's got lots of issues: greedy developers, drugs, alcohol, aids, crooked cops and sanitation workers, shameful politicians, pimping at a gay nightclub, murder and a missing boy. On the positive side, amongst the incredible grit and sleaze and poverty in the city, there's some entertaining puppetry a la Henson.

Wilfrid Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 L'Amour Fou (1969) on Criterion, more than four hours of early nouvelle vague by Jacques Rivette. This is sloooow cinema and I am watching over several nights. I have been in love with Bulle Ogier forever (and she is still with us) and wow the clothes they wore in 1969. I note that the cast is unfussily diverse, something French cinema has not had a problem with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilfrid Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 A bunch of Rivette on Criterion right now, and he does like to make long films (he has a 13 hour one under his belt, but that's not on the Criterion list). Now watching the wonderful Pont Du Nord, another one of his glorious tours around Paris with a mystery subtext. Two women, complete strangers, hang out together. The touching thing is that the women are played by mother and daughter, Bulle and Pascale Ogier. Pascale died tragically young. It's convincing that they're strangers because Pascale looked like her father and nothing like her mother. (I first saw her in Ghost Dance and was astounded to discover she was Bulle's daughter.)
