"Shooter (2016)": with a .338 Lapua mag rather than a 50 cal Barrett.

Oh, if only.

Paris has fallen - a good spin off style series by the French.

Currently watching the last enemy which is good so far.

[vetran]

Get Out - quite clever horror wasn't expecting the twist.

Ancient Megacities - Persepolis was fascinating.

[vetran]

Uncharted - the Goonies meet fools gold but without the laughs. Not terrible good special effects.

World war 1 tales of the trenches, more in depth details of WWI not just the Archduke got shot. Still early episodes.

King - a detective series I think Canadian so a bit gentler than US cops & robbers

[DoctorStrangelove]

They don't make 'em like that any more. .

Black Canary - Kate Beckinsale in tight leather kicking derriere - pretty good spy flick.

Iron Fury - quite Russian but reminds me how brave tank crew are, up there with submariners. Not as slick as Fury (one assumes it spawned it.) but pretty good.

Started Nautilus but its a reimagining of 20,000 leagues with the British as the villains. slightly frustrating, doubt I will spend much time getting into it.

A killers Memory - Michael Keaton was pretty good, nice twists.
Don't Worry Darling - hmm straight to video pathway. Chris Pine proving he would be a good Bond.

[WTFH]

Watched the first episode of Nightsleeper yesterday. I think it's got potential

If it's just the media that's the problem, "rip 'em"(back up the contents) and put them on your hard drive, edit the "split" episodes and then either write them to new discs or leave them on your hard drive.

Makemkv is free and pretty good.

Kung Fu: S1 dvds are flip discs: one side plays, the other side you're lucky if one ep makes through to the end.

I assume S2 is much the same.

I wasted £24 on this pile o'tulipe in 2009.

There's a reason you don't see flip dvds any more: they're crap, don't even respond to the toothpaste treatment.

The cod philosophy gets a bit trying too, little grasshopper.

When I'm done with them I think I'll burn them.

Guns the evolution of Firearms. Odd how few affected gun development. Also how the tactics changed as the tools did.
Casanova- the David Tennant years though Peter O'Toole thoroughly enjoyed himself.
Eternal law - justice with wings - not terrible.
Legacies - makes buffy look innovative. Yawn..
