Prime Suspect BBC
At
The Cinema
Prime Suspect, BBC Best Series Ever
“
I
expected that Prime Suspect was a Helen Mirren movie. But it's
better
than that. It's a series. Here's the episode that hooked
me, and it's
probably important that it i your first. After that, watch at
will.
Now here's the part that I'm most proud of. I'm thinking, "This
is
such a great series that I'm surprised the sterile minds in Hollywood
haven't latched onto it."

From director Peter Berg comes the
re-imagining of the British
television hit starring Maria
Bello as the tough-as-nails detective who
doesn't know when to quit.
Do I know those
pinheads or what? Re-imaging indeed.
As for Sir Helen Mirren, I thought she was hot stuff when she drove the
reasonably priced car on Top Gear, and here she is a decade
earlier.
Hot stuff.
Also, episodes appear to be available on You Tube. You're
welcome.

The only British actress that is better than Dame Helen Mirren is Dame Judi Dench. And both of them are infinitely better than any of the American actresses with the possible exception of Meryl Streep.
My problem with Meryl Streep is she is never in a movies I particularly want to see and what one Hollywood type once snarked, "A lot of critics like Streep because they can see her "acting"." Which also says something about the directors and producers who keep casting her.

ReplyDeleteMeryl Streep is butt ugly so the Brits finally win one. Don't know about her acting 'cause I've never seen her more that 10 seconds at a time.

ReplyDeleteMs. Mirren in her early films was more than a little, uh, tittilating.
ReplyDeleteCheck out Hussy. Movie kind of sucks, but she is looking good.

Streep -- Nobody saw Deer Hunter? Or "the dango ite moy biby?"
ReplyDeleteI thought Meryl was great in "Sophie's Choice".
ReplyDelete"Streep -- Nobody saw Deer Hunter?"
ReplyDeleteI watched that movie once a long time ago. Was she the Vietcong dude passing the revolver back and forth?
I take it you still haven't seen "The Unit"?
