What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2020)

[xylophone 11,735]

Decided to watch "Midnight Express" last night as recall nothing whatsoever about it, and I am so pleased that I did as I thoroughly enjoyed it. 

 

Such a shame the the lead actor, Brad Davis (Billy), committed suicide in the 80s.

Been putting it off for months (don't know why, just didn't fancy it) but eventually watched Parasite at the weekend.....what a great film! Truly deserving of the 2020 Oscar. 

Can't recommend it enough.

I thought he died of Aids.

I believe he had Aids which appears to be a contributing factor in his decision.

Hope it improves, first episode as dull as dishwater.

Just watched it.

 

Unbelievable really.

A TV show I enjoyed was Snowfall. First Season 2017, hopefully soon Season 4. American made.

 

About a family wanting to make money selling cocaine. Also a CIA man gets involved. Interesting twists.

Season 2 of LIAR on ITV is good, except that in Ep 2, ad break 3 there were NINE consecutive hybrid car ads, three of them from Lexus, 2 for Citroen and 2 for Volvo (who are using Born to Be Wild as their song). Ridiculous.

The Vow

 

Was slow but there's 9 episodes so I think just setting the scene.

A slow burner I think.

 

I'll continue watching it.

Good news gang.

 

A new series of Strike starts this weekend.
