Watched "Rise of the Apes". I give it a 7.

"Limitless", and "The Adjustment Bureau" both rocked.

I've been continuing to watch my way through Doc Martin

Recently discovered George Gently thanks to the netflix recommender.

Sherlock is absolutely amazing. Netflix only has three. Is that all there is? Please tell me there are more or that there will be.

Got a friend to watch the first episode of The Jewel in the Crown, hopefully we'll be able to make watching a regular event and make it through the whole set. Since hiking got rained out, we watched movies instead. Also saw Elizabeth and Steel Magnolias.

Watched all of Death Note, well up to Episode 37, anyway, meaning I finished the main series, but the ancillary stuff isn't on Netflix Watch Instantly. I hear that they are making an American live-action version, I'm sure they'll screw it up.

I watched Dead Cert last night, movie adaptation of the Dick Francis novel, which I didn't know existed.

Oh, and today I watched Helvetica. It's a documentary about the typeface. I love that stuff.

They started filming season 2 in May, and so far the most definitive release date I've seen for the UK is "in the Fall." Netflix won't get it for awhile after that, I'm figuring on January at the earliest.

I think PBS has on-demand these days.

I wish they'd make more George Gently.

Talking of Gently: there was a tv adaptation of Dirk Gently's Detective Agency recently that was rather good, with Steven Mangan (of Episodes fame) in the lead. Apparently there's a series planned as well.

Mrs. Z and I watched The Book of Eli last night. Excellent movie and the photography was exceptional.

Post-apocalyptic US. Denzel Washington against the bad guys.

Wonderful movie, I really enjoyed it as well.

August Rush

Completely adorable, if sappy.

Very sweet. Never heard of it before my friends decided on it for movie night. It's part of Robin Williams' Creepy Period (which for some people spans his entire career).

Darkness sucked out loud. Anna paquin and Lena Olin should be ashamed of themselves.

I was not impressed with adjustment bureau.

I think a big part of why I liked it was because I was totally and completely wrong in what I thought it was going to be.

Pete Zicato 08-29-2011 11:32 AM

Mrs. Z and I watched The Adjustment Bureau just last night. It was perfect for us because it was just the sort of light science fiction that we can share.

I found it entertaining.

Gravdigr 08-29-2011 04:11 PM

"Blitz".

Meh.:neutral:

Philip K.? Yes. If you're asking if I am a fan of dick, the answer is "only my own". If you're asking if I'm a dick fan, the answer is "I didn't know there was a fan made of dicks". Imma go to the products you never knew existed thread. ;)
