Bazza Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Don't make me punish you. Consider two other X-Files. Season 1 Beyond the Sea and Season 3 Clyde Bruckman's Last Repose. Both of these use psychics but the criminals themselves are normal. X-Files: I Want to Believe has the priest receiving psychic visions which help lead to the conclusion of the case. Conclusion ? It is an X-File. It may not have been the X-File you wanted but it is an X-File. Ok, good point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L. Marcus Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Just finished Chocolate -- it's very all right as a martial arts flick, but it's no Ong-Bak. On the other hand, the characters were actually inspiring empathy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vondy Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Considering all of my favorite X-Files are all of the ones not involving the Conspiracy/Aliens ... I will probably enjoy I Want To Believe a great deal. I did. But I have a stated bias. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clonus Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? I'm watching "The Specialist". Now I know what the inspiration was for the movie within a movie in "Last Action Hero". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost-angel Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? The Jack Bull. I saw it many years ago and just watched it again so the wife could see it, I love westerns of all kinds. This one is excellent. It's not a High-Noon outlaw kind of western, so don't expect a lot of gunfire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susano Posted May 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Deadwood seasons 1-3. Whew... some excellent material here. A good resource for anyone running a city-based game. It shows how to splice multiple-story lines together and how to keep things going across multiple sessions (episodes). If you can deal with over 2,900 variations of the word **** you should be okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hopcroft Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? A 1970's TV movie adaptation of Judge Dee and the Monastery Murders. Judge Dee was a real person who lived in the 7th century A.D. in China. He is cited as "the first recorded detective", and his fictionalized alter-ego is the protagonist of a popular series of historical mystery novels by Robert van Gulick. In The Monastery Murders, Dee has to spend the night at a Taoist monastery (a trail for him, as he is a strict Confucian) and discovers that the place is full of conspiracies, cross purposes, and ultimately homicide. I don't know whether the movie was meant to be a pilot for a TV series or for a series of movies. As far as I know only one was made. The actor who played Judge Dee is better known for his role as Wo Fat, Steve McGarret's nemesis, on Hawaii Five-O. He was clearly enjoying himself. A very rare movie, difficult to find.

OddHat Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? I thought Seasons 2 & 3 were Buffy's strongest. Season 4 was OK, but that's where I thought the series started to coast. 5 was the start of the downturn, 6 was bad, and 7 was unwatchable. All imo, of course.

Greywind Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? I haven't touched on Angel yet. Wal-Mart is selling them for $14.96 a season, so, compared to movies, cheap TV fare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
