Hah, it's not all that bad, just watching Tailor of Panama now with Geoffrey Rush which is pretty good 6.1/10 on imdb, I'm also getting into the US series 'The Guardian' they now have on, about a high flying lawyer working as a child advocate. Also have Manhattan Murder Mystery (1993) coming up on Wednesday with Woody Allen & Diane Keaton, and The End of the Affair (1999) on Friday, admittedly quite a lot of bargain bucket stuff in between though
.




Woody Allen and THE TAILOR OF PANAMA? They may not be 'bargain bin' stuff, but they're VERY familiar from other channels, to the point of absolute redundancy. Besides which, I checked out Tailor and BLIND DATE, and they were both cropped to buggery. So much for hoping this channel would be respectful of the very films they're championing...
). Sadly, the film skips over the bit which describes the dragons emerging from hibernation to scorch the earth (which would have made for a much more interesting narrative) and stumbles headlong into a kind of post-apocalypse melodrama, a subgenre I've never found particularly appealing (he said, sniffily). So there.
