What We’ve Been Watching.

 

Travis: The Whispers remains intriguing and disturbing as mentioned last week.

Wayward Pines is still compulsive viewing and impressive.

American Psycho 2 review from Travis.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0283877/?ref_=nv_sr_2

“It’s a skid-mark on the underpants of Film”

It’s a mis-conjoined slasher movie that tastes completely terrible and more like a parody which isn’t funny.

Not exciting at all.

 

The new challenge this week…

Gaelic football and George lost.

This week he has to watch… SUPERGIRL.

On The Beach Review

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053137/?ref_=nv_sr_1

 

After a global nuclear war, the residents of Australia must come to terms with the fact that all life will be destroyed in a matter of months. - IMDb.

 

A good story but they should have focused on the Anthony Perkins storyline instead.

 

Next week is the final Cold War movie called The Mouse The Roared starring Peter Sellers.
