Hi, Wow ... I definitely would like to see this ... the movie by Nicolas Roeg was excellent, even though there were some major cuts that took out a lot of the music material ... which I think was really good, per the albums that came out at the time ... and probably more music that we have not heard yet, or never will! The fudging video is not available to watch in the West Coast (Amazon) ... gawd I hate some of this crap sometimes ... it hurts the art really bad!

Hi, Ann Rice's best work is in her bunch of Erotica novels, many of which also take on a bit of pornography. There are some important things here ... it takes "vampirism" away from its religious BS, and all of a sudden the stories are more interesting and take on different directions, than what we manage to find all the time in every danged vampire story ... always the same thing! "Interview with a Vampire" would be way better, if it went full blast into the erotic style of hers. It would be a homosexual thing, but then that's like saying we never enjoyed the women thing in any of the vampire novels, going way back to Sheridan Le Fanu some 200+ years ago!

Eric. A six episode series on Netflix. Really good. It has Benedict Cumberbatch, one of my favorite actors. It tells the story of a nine year old boy disappearing on his way to school, in New York. (And, it takes place sometime in the 1980's). But, as the story unfolds, it's about so much more than a boy getting lost. I don't want to reveal anything here, but I would highly recommend it. Great story, great acting, and really good filming and directing.

Scorsese's PBS film on Dylan. Well worth watching.

Finished The Man Who Fell To Earth last night, the tv series sequel to 1976's Bowie magic :) 9/10
I think it was one of the best things I've watched this decade, with The Eddy a close second. 7/10 |

South Park: The End of Obesity (one off TV episode)
This has just dropped and possibly Trey Parker should hang his head in shame for producing such tired lame rubbish. Few jokes to speak of and very little creativity or energy. If there is such a thing as 'prog by numbers' then this is the South Park equivalent. 2/10 |

Wreck Season 2 2024 6 episodes
The first season of this horror comedy was set on board a cruise ship. The second season is 'grounded' and sees our protaganists pursuing the evil, clandestine and shady people that were behind all the mayhem. It's a hoot for horror fans although I prefer Season 1 because that had a natural claustrophobia and made more sense. Here we have that walking/ running towards danger that normal people never do. 7/10

Beacon 23 series 2. The first season wasn't great but this is worse. Maybe the fact that Lena Headey is no longer in it or that the story is as weak as cricket p!ss but whatever, it just isn't good. A shame really as I love these 'isolated in space' type shows normally. 3/10 for series 2, 4/10 overall.

Sugar 2024 (8 episodes)
Another book adaption (not one I've read) that on the face of it is just a homage to classic film noir. However seems to be something else going on that is very much in the background and could be a game changer. I'm hoping this will be developed further as we learn more about Colin Farrell's character and his origins. Interesting stuff. 8/10

The Gathering 2023 (6 episodes)
I do enjoy a mini series that can be binged in a day. This is shot in Liverpool with mainly a young cast. It's aim is very noble 'do not judge a book by it's cover'. Here we are treated with a multi-layered story about how parents can influence their progeny in good and bad ways. 'The Gathering' is an illegal rave at a beach at which an incident makes the local news. We then learn about the main characters via various events that lead up to this. 9/10

Series 1 of Interview With The Vampire. I've only very recently read Anne Rice's book and so was looking forward to this reimagination of the story. Well the shell of the story is the same, but a lot is changed, for the better? Actually I think it is. The book is dull at times, but this version moves things along at a pace. Of course the major change is that the main character is now black (the actor played Grey Worm in GoT) - but I really think the story has improved a lot because of this; it gives the whole thing a new perspective for the characters. Also whilst it was intimated in the book the love story between the 2 main, male vampires in the TV show it's blatant and no holds barred. There is also some nudity and also violence which was left to the imagination in the book, but here it's sudden and quite shocking - infrequent though. I haven't seen the movie with Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt but I'm really enjoying this TV series. Series 2 has just started as well.

The second series of Them. It's not a sequel rather an: "Anthology horror series with varying characters and locations by season, featuring different aspects of the horror genre." The first season was dark, traumatic and suffocating at times. This time it's more of a serial killer-type story. But I've only watched 2 episodes thus far and it could go anywhere really as the weird events unfold - all chilling and very strange stuff indeed.

Poker Face 2023 (10 episodes)
Yet another attempt to find a vehicle for Orange Is The New Black's Natasha Lyonne. This is much better than Russian Doll I feel. Her character Charlie Cale has the ability to detect lies by someones body language and this helps her solve crimes that she accidentally gets in the middle of while running from a mafia type syndicate. It's good fun and not too dark. 8/10

Watched the first 2 episodes (that were put up) of Dark Matter, the new Apple TV+ series. Quite intriguing sci-fi with a nod towards mind busting stuff such as Inception and the like. Takes an unexpected turn at the end of episode 2.

Red Eye.
Nothing to do with the Cillian Murphy film, this is a six episode 'limited series' mostly set on an airplane going to Beijing from London. The writers know all the cliche's and use them to their advantage. This is 'popcorn TV' at it's best. 8/10

The Cane Field Killings
Impressive South African crime drama loosely based on the real life hunt for a serial killer in the 00's. Stars Ian Glen (Game Of Thrones) although it's the rest of the cast who excel here. Just the right amount of tension and emotion. 9/10

Finished Constellation last night. It ended suddenly with a few loose ends so hopefully it will carry on to anther series. It's a bit mind-bending and takes some concentration to try to know what's actually going on. Good though 8/10

Warrior -- During the Tong Wars in the late 1800s, Ah Sahm, a martial arts prodigy from China, immigrates to San Francisco and becomes a hatchet man for the most powerful tong in Chinatown.
Good production values, but a tad on the gory side. The fact that the Chinese actors all speak English (mostly) with 20th century expressions pushes it somewhat from action/crime drama into the fantasy genre. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5743796/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_q_Warrio |

Constellation - I'm halfway through this now (8 episodes) and at first I had no idea what was going on. As it progresses it is improving a lot. Nice to see Jonathan Banks in something other than Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul too. I suppose you could call it an intelligent Sci-Fi. Interesting.
