Both these police dramas on Netflixabout tortured cops in danger of going psychotic are very good. One male one female. Of the shows on Netflix that are "crime dramas" I like the first group.

Seen Breaking Bad Still need to see the latest season of Saul Watched about 6 episodes of Orange and did not hook me The rest looks interesting I bounce from streaming service to streaming service. I'm on Amazon just for Bosch. Undecided how long I will stay since I need to go back to Netflix for last season of Saul if its there. Still hooked on Bosch so reading one of the latest books I have not read yet The Wrong side of Goodbye Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

| Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25011 | Mama Mia. Oh My Dear God. How was this trash a BO hit? The critics lambasted it. Like most of the one star reviewers, I lasted 30 min. Watching an almost 60 year old Meryl Streep dance and sing and act like she was 30 again was painful. One critic said watching this movie should be the new definition of torture. Nobody could sing. Colin Firth and Pierce Brosnon as singers and dancers was a joke. But Streep was the worst, she looked ridiculous. Just an awful movie. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

| Pacomartin Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 1068 Posts: 12569 | Harlan Coben is an American writer, who for some reason writes the kind of dense complex crime thrillers set in Europe. I associate these kind of stories more with British writers.   Both stories involve a group of people whose inner world and backstory is very slowly revealed. The whodunnit part of the story is very secondary. Michael C. Hall was in "Six Feet Under" and in Dexter. |

I worked at a movie theater when Mamma Mia came out. The audience was mostly senior citizens. It was quite popular. It came out at the same time as The Dark Knight and it worked quite well as counterprograming to that. I remember one really old man coming up to me after his showing ended and telling me what a wonderful movie Mamma Mia was because there was "no bad language and no violence." Old people HATE bad language and violence in movies. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

Musicals are not really that popular in the US and Canada. Mamma Mia made $3 out of $4 overseas. It made almost as money in Britain as the USA & Canada despite a 7:1 population difference. The domestic market (by estimated tickets sold) has really only had two mega non animated musical hits from the 1970s and a third recent hit, Beauty and the Beast. which began life as an animated film.

The premise of the movie is ridiculous. The young girl is about 18 and is the result of a fling her mom had when she was young and carefree. But her mom is almost 60, and the men are now in their 50's. So the mom was 40 when she got knocked up? Almost old enough to know how to use birth control.. Worst choreography ever. Mostly older washer women types moving their feet and waving their arms over their heads. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
