23skidoo 18th Sep 2024		Dark Angel 2000 - 2002	Apparently, James Cameron devised Dark Angel as something of a dry run for his later adaptation of Alita Battle Angel, though you'd be hard-pressed to find many similarities between the two IPs other than both focusing on women with superhuman abilities.

OldMod67 5th Jul 2024		Stax: Soulsville U.S.A. 2024	Rated 7/10 I was incredibly eager to see this series, which had been mentioned for a couple of years and it's well worth a watch. Previous features on Stax have never disappointed, despite having to cover a vast history in one-off efforts, literally a label of two halves, - the spinning discs and the post-Otis finger clickin' era. On-camera interviews with surviving artists and writers was very welcome, which included Stax insider and archivist Deanie Parker who's always a great listen. Great to see the makers managed to capture filmed interviews with those that have since passed, Jim Stewart of course but also the wonderful Bettye Crutcher who is often overlooked in the Stax story. Although not everything can be captured (even Rob Bowman's welcome nineties book had to limit itself), there were a few things that jarred by their omission. The Jim and Estelle label start-up, with financing and initial Satellite imprint, yes it's been covered elsewhere but if this was the high profile final word, I expected a mention. And to book-end it, the sad ending didn't mention the promising reconvening of the MGs and subsequent murder of Al Jackson Jr before that could occur. That subject is still controversial, with plenty of speculation, but remains untold. An acknowledgement of the events should have been included at the very least. The four parts could easily have been longer. It reminded me of watching and taping The Beatles Anthology from the initial TV broadcast and then getting the expanded version when released on sell-through, so much more. Perhaps there will be. 1 person found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
MR B PAGE ● 27th Jun 2024		The Strauss Family 1972	There are 8 episodes for 1 series.
alexlincs 26th Jun 2024		Jack The Ripper [1988] 1988	Fun fact Jack The Ripper was produced for television by Thames Television, but they had the hindsight to shoot on film (35mm I think); this means the Blu-Ray looks incredible and was perfect for remastering. I've seen made for TV films that were produced 20 years later and look shocking due to them being shot on video or studio VT cams.
Magic Marmalade 22nd Jun 2024		Jack The Ripper [1988] 1988	Rated 8/10 Difficult to judge anything to do with such a historically nebulous figure as Jack The Ripper, as theories abound, and "facts" come and go... But outside of "historical documentaries" and the like, it does make for great dramatic material in which to explore theories and hypotheses... ...This, in my opinion, is the best of them - A very engaging, and excellently realised examination of the "facts" of the case, such as was available to the production at the time, and from a particular point of view, or points of view. Certainly required viewing for current or prospective "Ripperologists". (But even if you are not either of these, cracking drama for those who like a mystery / intrigue / "conspiracy theory" watch) 1 person found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
MR B PAGE ● 20th Jun 2024		Captain Caveman And The Teen Angels 1977 - 1980	There are 40 episodes for 3 series. Also available on DVD.
23skidoo 18th Jun 2024		Doctor Who 1963 - Now	I might be poking a bear here, but officially Doctor Who started over with Season 1 beginning with the 2024 season. That's how it's promoted. For that reason, should a new entry be created? I know we group continuations together (the two X-Files together, for example). But of the current version of Who - despite having carryovers - is officially considered a different series from what came before, should it be treated as such here too? That said, we didn't split off the 2005 revival and it also started with Series 1, though the IMDb has different listings for 1963-89, 2005-22 and 2023-present, so this question also applies to the revival. It would help trim down the massive cast list, at least. Just a thought.
OldMod67 17th Jun 2024		Stax: Soulsville U.S.A. 2024	HBO Documentary in four episodes: 1 Cause I Love You 2 Soul Man 3 Respect Yourself 4 Nothing Takes The Place Of You Further details Note: as of July 18th, this series has been nominated for two Emmys!
