No idea of what's broadcast where, all my TV comes from the internet. I set my own schedules.

Last night I caught up with a bit more of 'Touch'. Decent stuff, but maybe the whole 'everything is connected and my autistic child can figure it all out' storyline is perhaps dragging a bit.

I then watched the final two episodes of season 4 of 'Fringe'. A really good ending to the series. There are a few surprises in store - that's all I can say without revealing anything! I hope that season 5 can wrap up all the storylines.

I caught up with some more 'Grim'. Did two episodes back-to-back. Decent stuff, especially this week's episode.

I also caught up with more of 'The Good Wife'.

I caught up with more of 'Justified'. Good stuff from Raylan and co.

I then started watching some of 'The Bridge'. It is a Danish and Swedish TV crime series that got aired on BBC 4. Sort of reminds me of the film 'Seven'.

Confessions. Done as only the Japanese know how. Traumatic when one thinks about it. And very well acted by the two young boys.

The Switch. Really straightforward and not very funny rom-com (ugh...) with a predictable ending. Jeniffer Aniston was nice to look at and Jeff Goldblum was funny but otherwise it was a waste of time.

Remedied it by putting The Mask on afterwards for another watch. Smoooookiiin'! :)

Ive been watching Eddie Murphy in Delirious and RAW recently. He is hilarious. Considering they were filmed in 83 and 87 respectively they have aged incredibly well. I highly recommend them to anyone who hasnt seen them.

The Raid.

It was excellent. Ramped up chop socky with knives, guns and anything that comes to hand. Some of the stuff was incredible...the cinema was almost packed and there was American style clapping at the most extraordinary bits...of which there are many.

Highly recommended.

(there are subtitles, but not many as most of the movie was about graphic ass-kickery)

Anyone watching Awake? Like a bit of Jason Isaacs and seems an intriguing premise.

Not really an American thing. I remember cinema being like that in my youth before we became so entrenched in Americana. Its a bit weird that it went away as it really works for some movies.

Going to see it later with a mate, looking forward to it. :)

Just watched Law Abiding Citizen. Quite a decent film and I really liked the message it conveyed about how absurd the justice system can be in certain circumstances. Some interesting death scenes in it too (mobile phone exploding down somebody's earlug :lol: :lol: )

Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows. Decent enough but more slow-mo than a John Woo film!

Also finished watching Homeland, roll on season 2.
