Has anyone watched Deadloch? Wife and I watched the first two episodes and I'm not quite sure whether to keep at it. So far its has its funny moments, but it's a bit on the frenetic side.

That's a great series - IIRC it got more enjoyable the further in you got. Frenetic is a pretty good description, though.

We liked it enough to hope they do a 2nd season.

WAR
Okay, so I am cutting this film a bit of slack due to exotic bias, but despite it’s dopey dialogue, over-the-top jingoism, and borrowing heavily from John Woo’s American oeuvre (specifically Face/Off and M:I2), along with the Bond entry Die Another Day, as well as Hong Kong martial arts films of the 1990s, this film is a hoot. It also feels like a throwback to the cheesy Arnold/Sly/JCVD films of my youth.
The action sequences, specifically the fight scenes, are nicely choreographed and slickly paced. Oh, and the requisite item number is pretty kinetic; I am still in awe at how Bollywood production just stick an elaborate song-and-dance video smack dab in the middle of an action film. It’s bonkers.

There's only one item number??!!?? Bollywood isn't what it used to be.

I recently tried to watch Jawaan - while trying very hard to be a scathing criticism of several elements of current Indian society, the silliness was too much for me - bailed at the the ladies prison item number.

I was kinda surprised that there wasn’t an end credit item number in War.

That said, I have watched all four films in the YRF Spy Universe series— a fifth, Tiger 3 just got released in theaters this weekend—and this is the best of the bunch. It has the most insanely eye catching and over-the-top item number I’ve seen to date (granted my experience with this genre is pretty limited; I have seen roughly 8 films, one of which was a Tollywood production).



After watching this flick, which totally apes the M:I films, all I can think about is how cool it would be if Tom Cruise broke out in dance in the middle of one of his Ethan Hunt escapades…

Hmmmm .....
He'd have to show some better moves than in Tropic Thunder.
