Jodie Foster stars.

Re: The Recommended Movies Thread

I've just watched Tumbledown, a 90-minute BBC film from 1988. It's based in and around the 1982 Falklands conflict. However, it's not a war film or an action movie, though it does have some flashback scenes. Its real focus is the recovery of a Guards officer (played by a young Colin Firth) who was s...

Re: Fish & Chips

Even after 5 years back in the UK, my heart still skips a beat when I see a post on this thread! :oops: :laugh: :laugh: One of the best things about being back here is that my fish of choice is plaice, and my favourite local chippy (there are several) always has it. The downside is that fish & c...

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading

[EDIT] "Masters of the Air" has been great so far (free episode available before even taking out a free trial), but won't finish before my Trial ends.... It's another collaboration of Tom Hanks and Spielberg ( "Band of Brothers" & "The Pacific" ), so if you enjoyed...

Re: News of the Weird - this just in!

slug-nutty? stocious? :? The first is apparently US slang for punch-drunk, so nothing at all to do with alcohol, and the second is Scottish/Irish slang. I think one of these 'linguists' was last seen in a kilt shoving antiques up his arse... The real problem, I suspect, is that there so many differe...

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading

Criminal Record A recently concluded 8-episode British crime thriller on Apple TV+ (downloaded from eztv), with the magnificent Peter Capaldi as a very convincing baddy - or is he? I'm only halfway through. Good reviews, well deserved IMO. In the heart of London, an anonymous phone call draws two b...
