Until then...the seventh season of "The Shield"

Just starting on the Rome series (DvD). I have a soft spot for NCIS too, but mainly have the History channel on most of the time. I'll pass on Bill Maher

How about Chinese Soldiers Dancing in the street by the 7-11

I second that ! Chiklis does an excellent job of entertaining and in Estonia is affectionately referred to as Dirty Mackie (loosely translated).

As a fan of the comic/graphic novel I had initally stayed away from the movie version fearing the inevitable "Americanisation" syndrome that most treatments get (the creators were British and infused Watchmen with that cynicial sarcasm we are taught from an early age). Having already denounced Danny Cannon as a traiter for his abysmal Judge Dredd I feared the worst. I should not have. It was brilliant. As film adaptations go this is got to be one of the best. Watch it if you can and then re-watch it again. Now I hope Hollywood does the same with Dune (i.e, respect the material and honour the narrative). Although, that said, I have always been a fan of the David Lynch version! I also hear that Amtrak Wars is doing the rounds...here's hoping.

but I've really got "into" Israeli films recently. I can recommend, for what it's worth, the following.

Close to Home (I think I have a soft spot for Naaama Schendar now)

Waltz with Bashir Truly mind-blowing.

Beaufort (Not entirely succesful IMO although that could have a lot to do with nuances being lost in translation. The way I approached it was to view it as a study of Israel as such rather than aparticular action/mission/unit.)

Good thread. My latest was:

Four Lions. Very funny, and approached some more meaningful issues (martyrdom) before going back to the laughs.

Going to rewatch Restrepo, Taxi to the Dark Side, and maybe Battle of Algiers in the near future to decide their suitability as platoon PME.

In my dvd player, I always keep South Park and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Always great after a long day at work. If you have not seen the "Day Man" episode of Philadelphia, you have not truly lived.
