What an emotional ending to Episode 2 of #MaigretPBS

Really enjoying this series despite not having read the source material. I may have to remedy that.

That little teaser of Sherlock on PBS Passport might just be enough to bring on a rewatch.

NW: #TheReturnOfSwampThing

With a tongue firmly attached to its cheek, this sequel does everything better than its predecessor with better (but still cheesily fun) effects, better (and self aware) acting and better (more heroic) music.

NW: #SwampThing

There’s no way to claim this is a good movie but the campiness that seeps out from the overacting and the cheesy special effects certainly makes it an entertaining one.

The spice was pitch perfect and the heroine was intriguing and incredibly easy to root for straight from go.
