Laurel and Hardy

I saw one of the 'old' Laurel and Hardy films last week on TV. It's rare to see any of their films (on TV), these days, but I suppose that it is because the recently released, Stan and Ollie, in the cinema, has prompted it's being shown. Hopefully, more of their material will get an opportunity to be aired. Really remember enjoying a lot their films when I was much younger.

King of Thieves

I would like to get the DVD of the recently released, King of Thieves. It's based on the Covent Garden Safety Box Robbery, of April 2015. Let's forget the usual romanticism. It has a solid British cast, including Michael Caine, Ray Winston, Tom Courtney. I remember the Ealing (Comedies) and I'm it has a touch of those...at least if only the way in which the scheme fell apart in the six weeks after the robbery. Still, who knows how much was never recovered?

Jurassic Park

I am really interested to see, what the story line for the sequel, to Jurassic Park: Fallen Kingdom, will be, particularly as the island in that film was completely destroyed by the volcanic eruption. I think the sequel in 2021 is supposed to be the final film in the franchise...hopefully they can create another story from the debris of the last one.


 
I want to get the Season 1 box set, on my birthday, for the Good Fight, the sequel to The Good Wife...not too long to wait!
