Inspector George Gently, Series 4
The fourth series of the acclaimed period British mystery series in which an upstanding detective takes on a dangerous world in 1960s England. Martin Shaw, stalwart star of many a Brit TV series, is perhaps at his very best as Inspector George Gently, an old school detective learning the crazy ways of the young people [...]
Midsomer Murders, Set 20
In this series, we bid adieu to DCI Tom Barnaby (John Nettles), doggedly determined yet gentle and considerate police inspector who treats each case as though the balance of civility depended upon its proper outcome. The series has grown on its audience over time… several generations to be exact. And Barnaby has become as beloved [...]
Casa De Mi Padre
I’ve often thought it would be an interesting experiment to intentionally make a film in another language and throw subtitles over it with slightly different intent and meaning. Sort of how many foreign films are so poorly dubbed the translations become unintentionally humorous, at times. So why not set out to make a comedy adding [...]
Boss
Like an angry denizen of some dark and sinister otherworld, Kelsey Grammer plunges himself deep into the murky, cruel, twisted, angry, and power-hungry titular character in STARZ original TV series Boss: Season One. With an electrifying exuberance he charms the hearts of an entire city and chews on the exposed bones of his writhing, pitiless enemies. He [...]

Endeavour
Inspector Morse is one of BBC TV’s longest-running and most-loved fictional detectives. Actor John Thaw built an incredible fan base which spans several generations. For many, the idea of replacing him is tantamount to sacrilege. The last Morse production was 10 years ago. And so, it would seem only fitting that the BBC should try [...]

For The Love Of Money
Indie feature For The Love Of Money is an ambitious attempt to bring a personal story to the screen. It is extremely well shot, well directed, well acted, and if those were the only aspects of a film that mattered, this would be an amazing film. The real hurdle here is the story itself. And [...]
