Half way through Netflix new series Seven Seconds. It's a slow burner (just like Bloodline is) but really gripping me at the moment!! Love it!!
It's a Hulu double feature! Future Man, starring Josh Hutcherson as a janitor/video gamer who is recruited to save humanity by Eliza Coupe. Hilariously stupid and funny-think a hard R-rated Back To The Future. 30 minute episodes make it easy to digest, and Coupe is fierce as a video game warrior come to life with no filter, with Hutcherson firmly accessing his inner Michael J. Fox. Turn the brain off and you'll love it. Shut Eye, starring Jeffrey Donovan as a fake psychic/con artist who runs a bunch of gypsy-owned paranormal parlors, who has an injury and starts to see real visions. Sort of like a gypsy Sopranos. It's bonkers, and features Kadee Strickland as Donovan's tough as nails wife, with Emmanuelle Chriqui as some window dressing in some role that I already forgot about. The brain shrinking continues.
Yes! I use the Lawrence Wright book of the same name when I teach 9/11. I'm ecstatic that its been dramatised. Given the larger than life personalities involved, it was a no-brainer. It's an important part of the story that's barely been heard. Definitely a case of truth being stranger than fiction. Evidently the producers (including one Alex Gibney) went with Hulu because they promised not to mess with the story. I'm looking forward to part 4!
I just discovered, over two years late, Jessica Jones. (I didn't have an HDTV til the very end of this year so Netflix wasn't the same to me as it is now) I saw the picture of Krysten Ritter, who I loved in Breaking Bad (and think she's one of the most beautiful looking women) and wanted to give it a try. I just watched the first 6 episodes.
The box set is wonderful- but now they’re also all available thru Amazon Prime. I’ll keep my box set, for sure, but navigating thru Prime is much easier than switching out 12 discs.
There’s only so much that can be done for a kinescope but many of these were sourced from the transfers that were originally done in the 80’s. New scans for Blu-ray could improve the image, but again only so much.
never happen too many shows and the DVD set was expensive! can only imagine a BD box and if Shout did it it'd be a grand! considering those creeps charge BD PRICES for DVD...LOL...
