Latest Instant Watch

I've been watching a bunch of the old John Pertwee Doctor Who series lately:
Carnival Of Monsters
Spearhead From Space
The Green Death

Pertwee really grows on you after a while. Carnival Of Monsters is a surprisingly complex story.

Netflix added one of my all time favorite series, Veronica Mars:
Season 1
Season 2

Veronica Mars is a perfect combination of the Rockford Files, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Beverly Hills 90210, if you can imagine such a thing.

There's also the wonderful Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, season 1, alas cut down in its prime. (With a BH90210 tie in as well)

The other day I was listening to Serge Gainsbourg in the van and remembered where I had first heard him, in the insane and wonderful satire, Irma Vep. If you love and/or hate French cinema, then this will certainly make you laugh hysterically.
