Birmingham gang, led by Tommy. Interested in horses and money. Different groups try to thwart them. Coppers, IRA, horse racing syndicate, Gypsies, Communists (a little). Good acting, sets, etc., but nothing special. A solid B.
Awful Bruce Willis movie. Bad guy robs bank. Bank manager cowers, employee killed. Bank manager goes after bad guy with Bruce's sorta help. Bank guy's daughter is diabetic teenager; his wife is 26 (?). Surprise: Bad guy captures diabetic daughter. Bank manager and Bruce kill him just in time to give daughter insulin. 90 minutes but it seemed like two hours
All over the place. When it's good, it's excellent. When it's not, it's still okay. Excellent acting . . . problem with this season is the writing. Headed back to husband? To Lenny Bruce? To Shy Baldwin? Parents out in Queens miserable. FAther going to be lit critic? $$$ in that? Mom going to become matchmaker? Husband opening nightclub and falling for Chinese girl of 20 or so who looks 40. Maybe next year will be better, but the threads are all over the place!
Not great, but good. English gang in 1920 (real gang was earlier). Dominate Birmingham. IRA and communists also at work in the city. Police want to keep a lid on. Show is likely to be about shifting allegiances, betrayals.
Linklater One day in Vienna. American (jilted) boy. French girl. A strolling My Dinner with Andre. Likable from beginning to end, but no real desire to see the other two parts of th trilogy. So . . . lightly likable.
Boring. QE with one bulldog expression. Princess Margaret as poor-little-rich-girl. Charles actually was the most interesting. No mention of Ireland. Acting was excellent, as were sets, but the writing was terrible.
