Recent viewing activity

Haved watched a few things over the past couple of weeks, but nothing that inspired me enough to break out a dedicated post. So, in precis form:

Purple Rain: dated but enjoyable early 80s flick starring Prince.

Bachelor Party: early 80s comedy romp featuring a young Tom Hanks. The title pretty much says it all.

The Baader Meinhof Complex: very good film about the left-wing terrorist movement from the 70s. I don't know as much I probably should about this period in history.

Archer - Season Two: another highly entertaining series of escapades featuring the ISIS intelligence agency. I hope, and expect, that there'll be a Season 3.

Cosmos: recently wrapped up this 13-episode series by the late physicist and science communicator par excellence Carl Sagan. It was a little slow in parts, andome of the re-enactments are dated and a little tedious, But Sagan's enthusiasm and passion for science shine through, and the show is still well worth watching.
