Movie review ping.

I got the full set of Thin Man DVDs. One of my best entertainment values. Those and the “Wooster and Jeeves” set are hard to beat. Even one of the poorer examples of those is better then 98% of what is in theaters today.

I watched the Netflix DVD of "Another Thin Man" last night. Nugent thinks the formula is getting a little threadbare. But 70 years later it is a classic and great fun to watch. Swventy-five years since the original "Thin Man."

What version of "Wooster and Jeeves" do you have? I didn't know a series was produced.

Those Thin Man movies did get lower in quality as the series wore on, but even the worst were still funnier than the average new release “comedy” today.

For Wooster and Jeeves I have the 4 season set starring Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry. The 4th season isn’t very good. The rest are top notch. It’s out of print but still available on amazon, etc.
