Pomegranate juice - okay.
I won’t review ‘The Jackal’s Trick’ or ‘The Hall of Heroes’.
I will review ‘Children of Lovecraft’, ‘The House of Lost Souls’, ‘Autumn Cthulhu’, ‘Nightcrawlers’, ‘The Mad Scientist Affair’, ‘Infected’ and ‘12 Monkeys’ season 2.
Oh poor Brad and Angelina.
Recall the 1988-1990 BBC drama ‘Wish Me Luck’?
‘Fiddler On The Roof’ (1971), ‘The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen’ (2003), ‘The Italian Job’ (2003), ‘Notting Hill’ (1999), ‘Rain Man’ (1988) and ‘King Arthur’ (2004) were not good.
I’ve never watched ‘True Detective’ and I don’t care to.
Recall ‘Blue Jeans’ comic?

On ‘Neighbours’: Kyle’s back being dully schematic. Steph’s ex pulls a shattering reversal on their custody agreement. Brennan’s overriding reaction is to yell and bluster. He’s all unacceptable nonsense. Elly and her massive teeth annoys. She’s all threat and irritation to Ned. She’s a long scream of fury. There are rumours that Toadfish is to dump Sonia to run off with his old love Dee. Screw him and his authoritative statements, non existent intonation and sweater vests. This was not gripping and had no cunning wit or noble purpose. Paul is not well disposed to Kyle. There are no potent performances. Steph has anxious tears. Lauren foosters. Paige has given her boxing opponent brain damage and uses this as an excuse to screw her doctor. People shrug off such inconvenient logistics. Shelia, Xanthe and Gary harass Amy and question and challenge her life choices. Whatever became of Bouncer?
On ‘Hollyoaks’: Jack has no moral discipline. He drove Kim away. Ste ignores his kids. Where is Hilton? Cindy screams about getting no sex. Why has Harry thrown his life away to fawn over Ste? Who is Nick Savage? There is a Loveday murder mystery party that goes badly. Leah points out how many lovers Ste has had. Lucas spills on Leah. Nathan can’t act. Nick annoys. Who is Billy’s woman? Oh, his mad copper daughter. Why wasn’t Nancy arrested for running John-Paul over? Jack’s bro Billy dies. This was unproductive.
Did I see Nick in the opening credits? Cleo is orange. They’re building new houses? Cindy’s been married 5 times? Recall when Marnie and James stole the restaurant from Tony? Lisa isn’t warm and nice. Marnie is fractious. Jack has a stalker. Where is James? Freddie woos Ellie. Nick and Cindy get jobs in Nightingales.

“Lives in a shed.”
“Just been pushed off the balcony.”

“We could have had that.”

“That bitter twisted man.”
