Yeah - it just felt like (yet) another season of exactly the same stuff, a few years later. Only half as long. -

The problem was it was half the length of a regular season
And it wasn't called 12? How confusing.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

One of the only great genre films to come out of France?
I haven't seen it, but to be honest my experience with French action films of recent times, if I have the (dis)honour to watch them is quite awful!
Could you give me examples of *good* (not necessarily great) French genre films from recent times?
I think you might have missed my point, which is that the great filmmakers in France often aren't going after genre. When one of them did, the results were impressive. The genre in this case is gangster/crime, which is a genre the French do well. They actually gave believable foundations to a mythic rise.
As for 'good' (as opposed to great) genre films from France... Genre is a big word. Intouchibles for comedy, Taken for action (essentially a French film), Mesrine for crime, Tell Noone for thriller...A butterfly thinks therefore I am -

I know that the French have a huge crime tradition, though sadly I saw only the remake of a certain classic (namely John Woo's The Killer), but aside from that, I have to say (OK, Taken was good) that my contact with French action films (Comedies are good, Intouchables was brilliant!) that the whole Europacorp production house with some exceptions (I'd add Danny the Dog, even if it takes place in London, but it IS a Besson production and a French director) is often abysmal.
I do know that the French greats rather don't go into genre cinema or at least transcend it, as it is in the whole European cinema.http://www.filmmusic.pl - Polish Film Music Review Website -

Yes, they eat frogs and horses!
And their politicians are sex monsters.
And they sell war ships to Putin.

Luc Besson is a master at genre movies, although they've been hit and miss in later years.I am extremely serious. -

The stuff he wrote and produced (and had other directors) he was churning out a lot recently was to be honest quite abysmal at times (I saw only the third Transporter, but that... wasn't good. Taken 1 was really good, Taken 2 took the logic and heart out of it...)http://www.filmmusic.pl - Polish Film Music Review Website -

I think it could have used a better editor, though the script was unusually good for that kind of fare.http://www.filmmusic.pl - Polish Film Music Review Website -

Technically the last episode covered 12 hours. Like that was ever going to work. -

I bet it was the mention of Fielding that prompted that joke.

Went and saw the Eastwood film Jersey Boys this afternoon and it was a pretty good film. The soundtrack was a lot of Four Seasons and Frankie Valli material but there were a few momenta where there was a little bit of underscore.
Tom
listen to more classical music!
