Matrix Games Forums

Just started watching the HBO mini series The Pacific for the second time, at my wife's request. Ironically enough my wife does not like video war games, but likes to watch war movies and these series. She also loved Band of Brothers and we recently went and saw Fury and she liked that a lot too.

One of her all time favorite movies is Downfall; I don't know if that is a good thing or if I should be worried... [&:]

I mentioned "The Book Thief" in the book section earlier this year.

Just seen the film version. A very, very good film - not surprisingly perhaps, not as good as the book, but an excellent attempt nonetheless. Decent Cast helps including Geoffrey Rush and Emily Watson, and a couple of great performances from Sophie Nelisse (in the title role) and Nico Liersch as her friend.

Recommended [:)]

Totally agree. The book is excellent and the movie is very good indeed. I think the casting all around was well done here.

This weekend I have been watching Marco Polo on Netflix, not too bad, but then again not too good either. Seems they went for "if we have enough nudity, we can make the show longer".

Thank you

The Missing finished this week. It's been an excellent series. Great cast and characters.

Glad to see the BBC are going to make a second series.

And in the New Year Broadchurch returns [&o]

I'm watching the Downton Christmas special:

Qualiteee [8D] I thought Thomas had the funniest bits without having to say anything - stealing the cutlery and trying to kiss George Clooney [:)]

Me, too. They could have brought back the deceased characters for a laugh...

I like 'Breaking Abbey'.

I've just seen (most of) The Lego Movie. Very funny in places [:)]

This was a great movie! It has changed the household vocabulary for us. We now use the "sword of exact zero" for various craft projects. Same with the "Kragl". [:)]

Mmmm must say I found the Doctor Who Christmas special a bit disappointing this year.... [&:] but at least there was some good news - Clara Oswald will be sticking around [:)]

Downton Abbey really needs a kick up the backside. It was, as ever, watchable but.... something is missing. I know it's Christmas but it was all very twee. Come on guys you can do better than this......

But the good news is - Foyle's War returns on Sunday week, and Broadchurch the day after - Hussah!!

I recently watched Happy Feet and that was a fairly good animated film.

Liam Neeson and Morgan Freidman must have had fun with their roles, eh? Neeson managed to get an unnaturally high squeaky voice for the 'good cop' rendition. [:D]

Good thing I watched it before reading this thread [;)]
Yeah, that was not a good episode, but it was a Doctor Who episode after all, and my choices were that and Xtreme Hoarders atm [:D]

Watched a beautiful series called "Aerial America" on the Smithsonian channel last night. Gorgeous photography of hard-to-reach areas of Oklahoma and Georgia, along with a brief history lesson of the importance of these places. Very enlightening.
