[Happy Days]

Must admit, I'm enjoying the 'The Peripheral' atm. Loosely based on a William Gibson novel...

Wasn't sure about giving it a watch. But I'll lash on an episode tonight and report back

"The Jigsaw Man" (1983)
Michael Caine stars in slow moving Cold War classic with a star studded cast including Sir Laurence Olivier, Susan George and Robert Powell. Typical of its era and genre, and you either love or hate these type of movies - I can't get enough of them!

Caine made quite a bit of dross in the 80's but The Jigsaw Man is one of his better ones

"End of Watch" (2012)

Watchable American cop movie with a good deal of violence. Not much of a plot and the ending is completely predictable. 6/10

Eleven days in to my Prime (Video) Membership, and I've reached the bottom of the barrel.

All that's left on my watch list are four middling movies I've already seen in alternative universes, and all but one of the new discoveries were given the fast-forward or feck-this treatment. Of a random selection of other also-seens which I thought I might watch and that don't feature in my offline collection, every single one is only available for an additional fee.

So between that pile of shyte and the slower-than-China delivery times, I will happily cancel my free subscription with no regrets.

Just finished Season.3. of Tom Clancy's "Jack Ryan". Excellent fare if you like plenty of action. 10/10

That was the "but one"

Came out in 2022, so presumably mostly written/filmed in '21 at the latest; spookily close to the events that subsequently unfolded in the real world.

"On the line" (2022)

An Amazon Original starring Mel Gibson as a late night radio chat show host who likes to play pranks on new members of staff at the station..
An interesting enough plot which holds you to the end. 7/10.

"Breaker Morant" (1980)

Eric Woodward stars in this ancient but infinitely watchable account of three British officers who were scapegoated in the interests of diplomacy during the Boer War. Loosely based on a true story but there's a lot more going on than the movie reveals. For anybody interested there's a lot of information out there https://www.nma.gov.au/defining-moments ... t-executed and to this day there's a campaign to have the three officers pardoned for their actions in killing Boer prisoners. 10/10

I binged on Bosch with Titus Welliver playing part... got me back reading Michael Connelly books.

The Fourth State (2012)

A German journalist gets caught up in a terrorist plot in Moscow while investigating the Russian secret service. 10/10

Not a good advertisement for the Russian tourist industry - is there one?
