THE FALL Renewed for Season 3; Gillian Anderson, Jamie Dornan Will Return
http://collider.com/the-fall-renewed-season-3/

In a move that shouldn’t be seen as totally surprising (but is still great news), BBC Two has renewed The Fall for a third season. The British crime series, which has also aired in the U.S. on Netflix, stars Jamie Dornan as a serial killer who is pursued by a Detective Superintendent (Gillian Anderson) whom he also stalks.

According to Deadline, Allan Cubitt, the series’ creator/writer/director, spoke at the Netflix TCA panel in January about his confidence regarding a third season. And so it has come to pass.

Netflix to Premiere Chris Tucker’s First Stand-Up Comedy Specia
http://collider.com/netflix-chris-tucker-stand-up-comedy-special/

Is it just me or has Tucker had the weirdest/laziest career...if you can even call it that. Good in comedies and so much untapped potential in dramas, check out Dead Presidents or his cameo in Jackie Brown. Even in the formulaic Rush Hour movies you can tell he is special. Just has such a small body of work. Is he even funny? I have no idea what a stand up special with him will be like...but I will watch.
 
I just remember my dad falling off a chair in the movie theater laughing to "do you understand the words coming out of my mouth".

In fact that and when ace gets two arrows thrown at his knees in Ace Ventura 2 are two of the better laughs I've ever seen my pops have. Ah memories

good times
 
Just finished the first season of Black Mirror, a British show. The first season was only three episodes long but they are stand alone stories and man are they memorable. I'm struggling to describe it so I'm just gonna rip the plot line off imdb, "A television anthology series that shows the dark side of life and technology".

In the first episode a member of the royal family is kidnapped and the only demand is that the prime minister must have sex with a pig until completion live on television. A crude and disgusting way to get your attention but it worked for me, that's a premise I'm interested in seeing how it plays out. While the first episode is sort of gimmicky, the following two were very good, definitely way better. They portrayed some sci fi scenarios of where our society could be heading if what pop culture is now gets taken to the extreme. The production value and acting in this show is terrific.

Check it out, I'd definitely recommend it. Not for everyone though, but the weird and disgusting is mostly contained to the first episode so feel free to skip that if you're put off by it.

The wife and I finished this last night. It was a lot better than I was expecting. It's got a very similar style of humor to 30 Rock, without being as funny. If you put it on a scale of Big Bang Theory (0) to Arrested Development (10), I would say it scores a solid seasons 4-5 of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia.

I recommend it, to fans of 30 Rock, but be wary that it is overly upbeat and bouncy at times. The theme song makes me want to kill myself.

But it was good fun.
 
Bloodlines is very well done. The story is credible.

Why did they kill off the star (Danny). That would be like getting rid of Piper (OITNB).
 
Ben Mendelsohn as Danny is absolutely brilliant in Bloodline. I had seen him in something, but couldn't remember what, so I had to look it up: "Killing Them Softly." He was also terrific in that, which is a very underrated flick in my opinion. A great cast with Mendelsohn, Brad Pitt, James Gandolfini, Richard Jenkins, Sam Shepard, Ray Liotta. Available for streaming on Netflix and well worth a look.

I need to watch that movie again because I was unimpressed with it when I saw it in theaters.

Andrew Dominik, though, so it deserves another shot.
 
Paul Verhoeven's 'Flesh & Blood' is on Netflix.

http://www.netflix.com/WiMovie/60033889?trkid=439131

A buddy of mine, who says Verhoeven is his favorite director of all time, reviewed the film thusly:

Some medieval mercenary peasants led by Rutger Hauer are betrayed by a king or a lord or whatever, so they rob the king lord's caravan and end up kidnapping his son's fianc? (Jennifer Jason Leigh), and she has to pretend to become one of them to survive, and maybe kinda does become one of them. This film is dark, vicious, and ****ing epic. Verhoeven's direction and the performances of Rutger Hauer and Susan Tyrrell are totally amazing, but Jennifer Jason Leigh is phenomenal. Not only am I pretty sure that she's naked just as often as Elizabeth Berkley in Showgirls, but she also gives the first performance I've ever seen where I feel it necessary to use the word "nuanced." She makes the movie entirely her own story, and it's brilliant.

I'm excited.
