What are you watching tonight?

[Adam]

Now...Friends on blu-ray. It arrived from Amazon in the U.K. yesterday (it was a bonus blu-ray day for me ).

It's hard to believe that show started over 18 years ago.

Season 2 of Sherlock on Netflix, the Hound of the Baskervilles.

That one scared the s**t out of me.

Great series, though.

I've probably seen more than my share of Sherlock Holmes movies (what can I say, my Dad is a sucker for old British movies of all types) but the new series is great!

Now...Friends on blu-ray.

I'm surprised at the number of poor reviews on Amazon for this set, but I guess that a lot of folks are disappointed that the blu-rays aren't the extended versions from the DVDs. I, for one, am ecstatic that they are the original broadcast releases. It's the reason that I bought the set.

If you liked Friends and want the original releases, then I highly recommend getting the blu-ray set. If you want the extended versions, then this isn't for you.

Man, some people...

Btw, it's a good flick if you haven't seen it. The animation is, lf course, top notch. Outstanding audio, too. 7.1, babee.

Have you seen The Avengers before? I really enjoyed it. Oh, and I'm jealous of the pizza.

I liked both quite a bit.

No, this will be the first time watching both films. Just finished Prometheus. I'll spare you guys a long drawn out review; suffice it to say having watched Alien a few times (own it actually), it seems like just a modern rehash; I had hoped for a little more.

Oh, and I'm jealous of the pizza.

What pizza? There is no pizza here, only an empty box (actually three...not the first pizza I've had this week).

I guess it's not tonight, but last night...A Royal Affair. I don't know exactly why we saw this, except that it was close to dinner and had the right time slot. This movie is in Danish with subtitles. Way back in the 1700's the King of Denmark (Christian VII) was quite a nut cake. His court handlers made all the decisions themselves and, BTW, also kept Denmark back in the 12th century. Enter the German, somehow picked to be the King's MD. He brings not only pills but progressive ideas, takes over managing the King's life and squeezes out the court handlers, who are NOT HAPPY. Things change in Denmark, but, alas, it's not to be, not for a while anyway.

This is a true story, lavishly decorated and costumed, beautifully shot and well acted. I don't know any of the actors and my Danish is a little rusty, but, I found myself surprisingly engaged. It's the only Danish language film I have seen this month and, keeping my mind open, I ended up enjoying it.

A lot of people said they didn't like this one. I thought it was well done. Similar formula yes, but I liked where it started to lay things out in preparation for Alien.
