All the best from Fredrik
I have been suffering from severe Saga and Martin withdrawal symptoms, so I went out and bought the Blu-ray of both series, which came out today. That's my viewing sorted for the next few days...
The best flippin comedy series on British TV since Father Ted.
Seen at the cinema when it was first released. One of the best films in recent years IMHO with excellent acting.
Watched again a few times on DVD
watched this last night for the umpteenth time.
Delightful choreography, beautiful music, quality light entertainment.
My copy is on Blu-ray
Having decided not to venture outside due to awful wind and rain, I contented myself with a nice long movie - the Redux version of Apocalypse Now on this excellent three-disc set, a steal at just £18 from Sainsbury's Entertainment.
"Inspired by an esoteric 1950s Swedish study, this unusual tale about comradeship and camaraderie starts as a research project in which an observer, Folke (Tomas Norstrom), watches his subject, Isak (Joachim Calmeye), as he goes about his daily routine. When the two old men break the rule about not talking to each other, they start to forge a friendship stronger than they ever imagined they could have."
Grace, a compassionate young supervisor at a foster care facility, works with her boyfriend and colleague, Mason, to help at-risk teens. But when a new charge dredges up memories of her own troubled past, Grace's tough exterior begins eroding.
Justified follows Marshal Raylan Givens, a modern day 19th century-style lawman, who is enforcing his brand of justice in a way that puts a target on his back with criminals and places him at odds with his bosses in the Marshal service. Resulting in a reassignment to the U.S. District covering the town that he grew up in.
Just got it from the library, Kuma's recommendation of the Russian version of "War & Peace".
You must have had a lot of time on your hands as that is one long film.

Took me much much longer to read the book, the longest one I ever read (over 1400 pages). I hardly watch any TV aside of news so I don't have any guilt for sitting in front of the screen to watch a film once in a while.
Just got round to watching Peaky Blinders after a lot of customers recommended it due to the soundtrack, mostly made up from Nick Cave and the White Stripes which can't be moaned at, fantastic viewing, only around 6 hours long but you really get to know the characters and by the end you really do care, certainly one of the best DVD's I've watched in years and the great news is that Tom Hardy has signed up for season 2 later this year, can't wait 
In 18th-century Denmark, the unstable King Christian VII neglects his young queen, Mathilde, who falls in love with his German physician, Struensee, an intellectual whose advocation of reform transforms the country but brings about his own downfall.
Henri Cartier- Bresson: The impassioned Eye.
The man and his imagery are fascinating, compensating for the mediocrity of the documentary.
Watched Stoker last night, what a spell binding film if slightly disturbing, there really is nothing like a Chan-Wook Park film, I'm still in shock though that it was wrote by Wentworth Miller of Prison Break fame, crazy.

I liked the movie when I saw it awhile back.

Same here, ewemon. I thought that all characters were well acted and the dark cinematography conveyed realistic moods of Danish winters. The events in the context of their historical background were fascinating.
