Watching The Great on HULU, a somewhat loose-with-the-facts farcical take on Catherine The Great of Russia.

Binge watching 24 on Hulu. I like Kiefer Sutherland, this is very good. 5 stars.
Just finished the final episode of the final season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel on Prime. I am sad because there's nothing even close to being as funny, smart, well cast, well performed, and evocative of a milieu, as this series. If you haven't seen it, please take a look.

I've just started watching a streaming TV series called 'Unforgotten'.
Based in London, we have a team of detectives involved in solving cold cases. I'm only on series 1 (5 in total with 6 episodes to each). For UK viewers it can be found on ITVX.
4/5 so far, I hope it remains thus till the end.
Regards,
Jay.

I have the DVD Fail Safe and it is available to stream on YouTube.
The most famous 1964 nuclear war comedy thriller was Dr. Strangelove. That movie has entered the culture, and swept all the awards ceremonies, and is the source of countless parodies about “preserving our precious bodily fluids” and Slim Pickens riding the bomb down waving his hat, and it’s difficult to imagine a mature pipe smoker that’s not aware of How I Learned to Quit Worrying and Love the Bomb (Dr. Strangelove)
But if you liked Dr. Strangelove you owe it to yourself to see the pure cliffhanger dramatic competing nuclear war film of 1964, Fail Safe.
The premise is, a United States bomber accidentally gets a launch order just before their fail safe point, and Henry Fonda as the US President and a young Larry Hagman as his Russian translator and Walter Mathau as a nuclear war expert advisor make for one of the best acted and entertaining movies I’ve ever watched.
Five stars, because there isn’t a six.

The Town directed by Ben Affleck 4/5. Other than it being a complete rip off of Heat, was well done. Good characters and action was well choreographed.
I took off work early last Thursday to catch the last showing of SISU in my local theater, I was the only one attending. Loved it and couldn't contain my laughter at the bad guys getting their just desserts. 10 to the 5th power outta 5
I'll buy it when it gets released on dvd.

Pretty sure "desserts" is the correct word/spelling. A desert is not where you go to cool off!

Other good series on Netflix is Goliath, and a British series call Broadchurch.
"The Caine Mutiny." 5 of 5. At least two of the stars were pipe smokers (although not in the movie)--Bogie and Fred MacMurray.
Broadchurch is a good series. 5/5 for me.
Watched this again last night. Luckily my wife enjoys it and let's me watch it a few times each year when the itch hits. Easily in my top 5 favorite movies of all time.
Jeremiah Johnson, 5+ rating.

Just finished Season 1 of Clarkson’s Farm on Prime. It features Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear on his 1000 acre farm in the south of England trying to farm for the first time in his life at age 60. Highly entertaining. Very recommended. 5/5

We Watched The Great Escape. There’s some pipe smoking in there somewhere. 4.2. Good movie! Good flick! Steve McQueen is awesome!
We’re in the middle, almost to the end, of Lawrence of Arabia. 1,000,000 stars! 1-5? Not gonna cover it. Now that’s a movie! My sweet apple pie: how did that movie get made? There simply isn’t anything like it.
Pipe smoking in there too!
