Sean Connery 007 Collection Volume 1 | Amazon.com | |
Blaine: I can’t find any official content listings, but at 331 minutes of runtime, a three film set is a safe bet. If memory serves, Connery did six Bond films for MGM, so that adds up to a two volume series. | ||

Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “I haven’t seen any of the new releases this week, particularly. However, Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom, will be ending up in my Netflix Queue at some point.” Blaine says, “I remember enjoying Simon and Simon after school as a child, but many shows from that era haven’t held up well so I avoided the season sets. The “Best of” set out this week is tempting; it’s a decent price point to test the waters and see how well the series has aged.”
Dark Skies was ok, interesting story, but went completely crazy in the season finale. Last of the Summer Wine is a great British comedy, worth taking a peek if you’ve not seen it before.
Ah, Ernest Scared Stupid. My review, in those long-ago early days of the World Wide Web, ran, in part:
Justified is my favorite show for 2010. If you haven’t seen it – you should. If you kinda sorta liked Deadwood, you will love Justified.
