NEW MEDICAL SHOWS
I myself don't watch them (I usually don't do crime and hospital shows), but we have two pieces of news from the genre of medical series. According to 'Deadline' USA Network has ordered ten episodes for two medical TV shows RUSH and COMPLICATIONS! The first one, RUSH, centres on Dr. William Rush (to be played by British hunk Tom Ellis who played Robin Hood in ONCE UPON A TIME), who is not your average on-call doctor: He’s not attached to any hospital, he’s highly discreet no matter what the ailment — as long as the client can pay his cash-only premium — and the doctor can party with the best of them.

The other one comes from BURN NOTICE creators: COMPLICATIONS follows John Ellis (TERRA NOVA star Jason O’Mara), a disillusioned suburban ER doctor who finds his existence transformed when he intervenes in a drive-by shooting, saving a young boy’s life and killing one of his attackers. When Ellis learns the boy is still marked for death, he finds himself compelled to save him at any cost, and discovers that his own life – and his outlook on medicine – may never be the same.

'ON MY WAY' TRAILER
WITH CATHERINE DENEUVE
And here's a movie recommendation for you: ON MY WAY starring French actress Catherine Deneuve as Bettie, a harried restaurant owner from Brittany who is an aging former beauty queen with an estranged adult daughter and grandson and an elderly mother who meddles in her life. She loves a married businessman who always told her he would divorce his wife in order to marry her. He indeed files for a divorce, but Bettie discovers that it is actually because he is also having another affair with another much-younger woman. At about the same time, the bank threatens to close down her restaurant. When she goes out to run some errands, she impulsively decides to leave her former life behind. She takes her car and just keeps on driving. She discovers other parts of France and makes new friends in the process. The film is currently in limited release in USA!
You had me at Jason O'Mara.
ReplyDeleteglad to hear it, Joshua!
DeleteHello Jason O'Mara. I may actually watch Complications. I like the set up.
ReplyDeletewhat? No appriciation for scantily clad Tom Ellis in a cold forest only in a cardigan?
DeletePoor Bettie... Men are scum.
ReplyDeletenot just men... many people are :(
DeleteDo you reckon Tom's got a little bit of a boner there? Could it be he's looking a the mirror? :)
DeleteComplications sounds interesting. Great premise for a movie. How will they make it work for a series?
ReplyDeletewe shall wait and see :)
DeleteJust wanted to say... hello, so "HELLO"!
ReplyDeleteThat was gonna be my line ...
DeleteHELLO to you as well, hope you is still alive, J-man!
DeleteON MY WAY looks great., I've gotten my wife to take a look at "foreign films"
ReplyDeleteI love them a lot, although I must admit the French ones are often a bit weird.... :)
DeleteHave you seen The Three Colors trilogy Blue, White, Red? I think they were in french.
Deleteof course! I've seen most of them French movies even though I find them strange... their emotional reactions are often very abstract, maybe even raw and not quite natural. Kinda like here in our Serbian movies - we usually depict ourselves as people with strange reasoning and attitudes which often defies logic and common sense. But then again, both us and the French people are a bit crazy :)
DeleteI loved this weekend's premiere of DaVinci's demons! We should discuss it at some point.
ReplyDeleteI'm actually having a post on the show tomorrow with stunning new pics :) The episode is airing here in Vojvodina tonight
DeleteOn My Way looks great. I'd like to see that one. Foreign films are pretty cool, because I get to test how much I know of a language against the captions (although the translations don't always match the real meanings).
ReplyDeleteimagine having all films with captions like here :)
DeleteWe don't do the crime or medical dramas either. I think tv is just over saturated with them lately!
ReplyDeleteit's become crazy , every other show is about cops, killers or doctors. Or about truck drivers, storage hunters and other hillbillies :)
DeleteI'm not too much into medical and crime shows either, but On My Way looks good.
ReplyDeletewe agree on both points today, sister :)
DeleteI think on My way is a good movie , Catherine is a good actress .
ReplyDeleteGreetings .
I think the film played in your cinemas last year, Vincent :)
DeleteI used to watch hospital/medical shows, but I found myself worked up and stressed out afterwards. Don't we watch TV to unwind?
ReplyDeleteOn My Way does look really good...
exactly my point! Who needs surgeries, corpses and killings in relaxation moments?
DeleteYikes! Glad my life is better than Catherine Deneuve's in that one!!!
ReplyDeleteI often wonder what the photographer was thinking before some of these shoots :)
which shoots? :) If you mean the first one, 'tis something that could easily come out of my mind too :)
DeleteOn My Way looks like it will be interesting.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Masy
DeleteOn My Way looks pretty good.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a big fan of medical shows either.
yep, we had enough of doctors in real life....
DeleteMy Mrs likes all the hospital programme's, they're not my cup of tea though!
ReplyDeletemaybe she has hots for doctors :)
DeleteI love Deneuve. Her movie looks good.
ReplyDeleteI rarely watch medical shows.
me too, Medeia
