Boring and very disjointed, no not for me.

Mr Robot there's just the pilot and i loved it, it's about a guy with some social anxiety disorder who works as an it tech on behalf of some big corporate giant who is basically the anti christ.
Anyway does his job during the day, but at night hacks various social sites, and if he gets an itch for someone than he has to scratch it. In that he digs up their entire life history and proceeds to tear them a new one should anything shady show it.
It's the kind of show that'll have you changing your passwords once you've finished, and i loved every bit of it.
iZombie is cack as well don't bother.

I watched Dirty Dancing after years again yesterday. It was my daughter's selection for the feel good Sunday film. Not that I am recommending it, as you all would have watched it a long tome ago, but by God, Patrick Swayze was so handsome and physically attractive specimen of this human race! And how he danced! A low budget film that became a huge success internationally due to one man's incredible sex appeal, and so elegantly displayed! Really enjoyed it once again.

So sad he deteriorated and eventually died so young at 57 with aggressive pancreatic cancer. He lives on with this Dirty Dancing classic.

I find a film set in the 50's with an 80's soundtrack quite strange. Other than that, top stuff.

"She's Like the Wind" – Patrick Swayze really sings that epic tune?

I didn't mind that at all. Nothing came in my way of gazing at Patrick Swayze on my plasma like this >

What a beautiful man he was!

"She's Like the Wind" – Patrick Swayze really sings that epic tune?
I hear so. All rounder artist.

I find 'Do You Love Me' song and scene the most entertaining in the entire film.


Wait for Swayze to enter. He hits the floor like a thunderbolt! Fantastic dancing by fantastic looking man!

It can't be enough for someone who keeps calling every slightly above average woman 'cute' every so often. Besides, most women loved stunning Swayze, not just me. I'm even sleeping with full make up on; just in case he turns up in my dreams.

The school oral test scene was pretty fun though, and the bully revenge scene with the huge cups of coke.

I watched The Road with Aragorn. Not bad, I thought it would pull at the heartstrings more.

Swayze's early death was terrible, he seemed like one of the good guys

Sorry, mate - what was your question? Are Vengeance and War of the Damned on Netflix? If so, I don't know. I've got all the series on DVD.

Hope you enjoy Gods of the Arena. Equally as amazing. Contains some truly mind-blowing scenes. It takes a while to warm to Gannicus but by the end you'll think he's a legend, ha.
Oops; auto correct ruined my sentence again! I meant are the two you mention on Netflix? I don't think they are; may have to buy them.
Watched the first episode; very good again.

I watched The Veteran last night, I gave it a go as I'm a Toby Kebbell fan. It started off with plenty of promise and was filmed well but here just wasn't a big enough pay-off at the end. I suppose it was the UK's version of the First Blood but staying faithfully to the book's ending.

Great isn't it, and it seems to get better.

Fantastic writing, i'm sure anonymous had a part in helping them for sure.

And very believable.

Last night I watched The taking of Deborah Logan and quite enjoyed it, that old lass was certainly a willing actor!

I watched Jurassic World today in 3D theatre. I quite enjoyed it! I recommend it for light-hearted entertainment.

State of Play (2009) with Russell Crowe and Ben Affleck. Recommended. 6/10.

The Selfish Giant (2013). Re-telling of one of Wilde's; my favourite story. In this one there're a few deprived beings with the riches of compassion in their little hearts. Watch it if you digested Starred Up.
