Here's three good ones, including soME nice comments about a certain Jane Fonda movie.

Barbarella (1968 France/Italy)

Someone got sent off to sleep by the opening credits? I find that hard to believe. A very entertaining movie, and I love the music too. The fact that Duran Duran originated here (as a name, not the actual rock band that adopted it) has to mean something, and, well, Jane Fonda in her prime, here and in other films like Cat Ballou, is impossible to resist... if one still has a pulse, that is!





I found those thumbnails in the middle on a site offering a download of the movie, which probably wouldn't be an entirely legal way to get it. I've got the proper dvd, of course, with the Boris Vallejo cover... ]

Minority Report (2015 tv series)

The pilot episode has been floating around the internet. I must say that it doesn't take all that much from the movie of the same name, it just has as one of the main characters a young man who used to be a "pre-cog" before the system was shut down - and now is trying to make his own life, despite a lack of a proper growing-up past.

Since our hero teams up with an under-appreciated but dedicated cop to solve (or prevent) crimes, it looks as if things could settle into a fairly predictable format. It could well be worth watching, though - I liked the glimpse on a tv set of an ad for the 75th season of The Simpsons!

Man in the High Castle

The Man in the High Castle's pilot was deeply flawed, but it's a decent-looking and moderately faithful adaptation of Philip K. Dick's 1962 novel, set in an America that's been colonized by Japan and Germany after Axis powers won World War II.

According to Amazon, it became the most-watched pilot ever — given that Amazon's pilots have been fairly hit-or-miss, and few have had the name recognition of Man in the High Castle, this is fairly plausible.[/quote]
I watched the pilot, in a window on the computer, and found it engrossing, so I'll certainly be up for watching the series.

Looks like I may well have to give in and join Amazon Prime when the series starts. Hopefully my tv will be Smart enough to handle it!
