Due to the paucity of decent and recent movies on Amazon, I watched the entire series of Longmire. It was great. I was disappointed that they ended the series, but I guess the stars had other career aspirations and didn't want to devote huge chunks of their careers to a single project.
I guess I could have said more...
Yes, I sat thru it, but couldn’t tell you much about it because I fell asleep. What I did catch was a little hokey, but the effects were great. My husband liked it.
Robert Taylor made a Great Longmire! In my opinion though Netflix screwed up the series to the point I stopped watching it. The books are FAR better!
Haven't seen the movie, but I like this version of the song.
Mr RooRoo and I binge watched the series, would watch two or three episodes every day. We’re watching it a second time LOL, enjoying it immensely.
Loved the characters—Walt Longmire, Henry Standing Bear(the awesome Lou Diamond Phillips), Deputy Ferguson (”The Ferg”), retired sheriff Lucien Connolly (Peter Weller), Tobias, the intense Cheyenne Res sheriff, and the extremely intense Cheyenne Res casino owner Jacob Nighthorse. The list of great characters could go on and on.
We took our twin boys last week. It wasn’t bad compared to some of the other movies we’ve recently seen, but it was missing the umph to make it a great movie. Maybe the fact that it is a pro communist-Chinese aligned movie, not an American movie kills it for me.
Robert Taylor was perfect as Walt Longmire. Excellent show. Cheesed up the end though. Did not like the Vic/Walt thing. But as a villain? Nooop! Jason Statham is much better as a villain.
I was very happy that The Ferg had his happy endng, wearing a tuxedo and carrying roses for his wedding proposal to his red headed girlfriend. I had been afraid that the girlfriend might have been secretly a bad character, a mole for spying on goings-on in the sheriff’s office. I was afraid she’d somehow use and betray The Ferg, brealing his heart into a million pieces.
The Ferg grew from being the hesitant junior deputy to an outstanding investigator and a total bad@ss with a high-powered rifle.
dumb as crap movie and of course its a china crossover hopeful so doible neg for me there.
Meg is from Family Guy which stinks way more than the Simpsons BTW.
Movie about a giant, thought-to-be-extinct megalodon shark interacting with humans. As in, "We're going to need a bigger boat" mega shark. A little campy in parts which is okay.
One of those movies where the plot winds down and it looks like the end of the movie is coming. But you look at your watch and realize there is another hour left.
Because the shark keeps coming back.
Entertaining and fun but definitely a "B" grade movie.
‘Beyond the Sea” is the English version of Charles Trenet’s “La Mer”. Written in 1943, Trenet’s “La Mer” was used for lyrical effect in “Mr Bean’s Holliday” and ironically in the film version of “Tinker, Taylor, Soldier, Spy”. I like the Trenet version best, but Maurice Chevalier is a close second. Trenet sings it softer and a bit sweeter, while Chevalier’s take on it is joyful. Trenet’s ‘Boum” was used as the eerie background music in “Skyfall” in the scene where Bond and Séverine land on that abandoned island.
There is (was?) an Australian couple, Ron and Valerie Taylor, who were shark experts and consulted on Jaws, and a lot of other shark based fiction and documentary films. Not sure if related to Robert, but there may be a connection there.
Yes. “Meh” not “Meg.”
But I saw “Mile 22” yesterday. Aside from the constant cursing and Peter Berg’s ridiculous split second, camera-jiggling photography of the fight scenes,it’s pretty good.
These directors just don’t trust either their actors or the stuntmen to be entertaining. Sad.
Keyboard spew alert
Gezzz, I’m all screwed up. I guess you can tell how much tv I watch.
Not watching retard TV does not make screwed up.
You’re probably better off for not.
He needed to return to his wife and work it out. 1 Cor. 7:10-11.
A favorite song. Loved every version I’ve ever heard of it. It is so French, yet Americans put it over, too.
