Todd, thanks very much for the link to my review. I haven't been around for a while, so it's good to see new reviewers writing about some interesting films and television.
ReplyDeleteSome marvellous stuff here and lots of interesting TV too (never seen TIGHTROPE or MAN IN THE MIDDLE and would really like to now). Thanks as always chum,.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Prashant, and good to have you among the contributors again.
ReplyDeleteAnd you, Sergio...TIGHTROPE being among the relatively few tv series to have spawned its own fiction magazine, as I've noted here before...probably should put that link in...
Greetings Todd, here's one of my rare contributions:
ReplyDeleteThe Wild Olive.
Sadly, another lost film.
Thanks, Brian. Well, the slim chance a print will be discovered in Christchurch or Bratislava...in a melting glacier due north of Yellowknife...
ReplyDeleteThanks as always, Todd, for your hard work in compiling these links and for including my picks.
ReplyDeleteNot at all, Elizabeth...thanks for your contributions!
