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!

Mission Impossible

On the Christmas list to buy, is the Mission Impossible, 6 disc DVD Collection. Strangely, I don't have any of the films in the series...maybe I need to look properly! By shopping around it should be possible to get individual films, say for £1.00. The first of those films was released in 1996...but it could be a lot of aggravation?

Shakatak

On my list to buy, is the 1984 Shakatak album Down on the Street...their most successful album both here and in the US. As someone said to me, 'you do like different musical styles'. However, I don't tend to think about that ( if at all). I just like all kinds of music. I knew of the album many years ago and I think I was in Croydon and saw it and that set me thinking...

The Good Fight

The Good Fight is a sequel (well it has many of the cast), to the very successful, The Good Wife, which I really enjoyed. There have been two series so far and I would like to get the first (box set) for Christmas. It is currently half price, at £14.99. Another one to add to my collection. I've been collecting films and CD's for quite a long time now and its always, (film and music), been something I enjoy and I guess I'll continue to do so.

Aquaman

Aquaman is out in the cinema on 14 December. I'm not familiar with the character, (it's out of the DC catalogue). It seems interesting enough from the trailers Iv'e seen.

On my ongoing to buy list for Christmas is Ant Man and the Wasp...look enjoyed it.
