Enjoyed "The Dam Busters".
But good lord -- the name of the dog!
And reading the trivia on IMDb for the film, the whole thing was overall for not; the damns were repaired in a few weeks and production was back to normal in a few short months. The loss of the experienced pilots and resources, probably did more harm than good. Maybe in the short terms it did some good for various missions in various ways.
The score is of course good, though still unreleased.
Good film justin but your review should go in What film did you just watch thread, this is Tv programmes.

Thames TV's Reilly Ace of spies, starring sam neill, dated 1983.
Written by Troy Kennedy-Martin who also did the Sweeney.
The main theme, which i always loved but didnt realise it was a classical piece. Its by Shostakovitch.
That’s because it’s not a classical piece
It’s from Shostakovich’s film score to The Gadfly.
Yours pedantically
TG
Im just glad some dull n boring shostakovich nerd was able to identify it. Its a lovely theme. I recorded it off tv in 1983 and liked it then. I was always thrown by the music credit.

Tom, I am hanging in there with you. I do feel at times the pacing is too slow due to fillers. However, I do think that acting is great. I really like Cynthia Erivo's character and how she plays the part. Ben Mendelson as Ralph is really growing on me. All the characters are fine actors.
It has been inspired casting, and some of the dialogue has been film-standard good. I quoted a bit from paddy considine in the movie dialogue thread.

Altered Carbon S2E1
I gave this 30 minutes before giving up. Drowns in the same sort of muddled narrative as its first season, weighted down by clunky, expositional writing and listless direction. Anthony Mackie is mouthwatering sans clothes, though.
Doctor Who S12E9
I gave up after 30 minutes. Would somebody take Chibnall out behind the dumpster of Broadcasting House and put him out of his misery, please. The dude can't write for the life of him. Poor Jodie just comes off as horribly hectoring and insufferably pedantic.

I've got about 7 episodes of The Good Place left to watch.
I've enjoyed it overall, but it's gone on one series too long and I just want it to end now.
It's an easy watch, not constantly funny, but chucklesome and you can tell it's the people who do Brooklyn 9/9 (which is another show that peaked around series 3) as the rapid, quick fire silly humour is exactly the same.
Despite there being some very good looking ladies in the show, I've bizarrely fancied the quirky, least glam lady in it (Janet, the virtual - not a robot - housewifey/A I like character).

Finished the Good Place.
Enjoyable overall, but way too dragged out. Probably could have been done in two series*
All the characters were likable and fun, but my two favourites were Jason Mendoza and Janet.
*I think my major problem with A LOT of TV series and drama shows these days is how dragged out they are.
Those ITV and BBC ones could be done in two or three, but usually take 4, 6 or 8 episodes. I always end up bailing on them through sheer boredom or terrible writing/plot contrivances.
