wasn't clan a film years ago... wait yes, yes it was. let's go forward into the present. did someone say presents?
ReplyDeleteit was thirty years ago with Daryll Hannah :)
DeleteI too remember an earlier movie on clan. My parents were so embarrassed they'd taken us kids. Oh well, moving forward - I love Ron Howard.
ReplyDeleteCasanova initiated the state lottery? I'd like to win!
yep, judging from what I read at Wikipedia, Casanova was much more than a womanizer :)
DeleteNow where did you read that?
Deleteat Wikipeadia :)
DeleteWho is she?
DeleteI've no idea... do you?
DeleteAmazon has been putting out some interesting things. I know Mozart in the Jungle was recently released. Casanova should be decent.
ReplyDeleteif they cast the right guy to play him

DeleteLooks like it's all coming true - how all of these on demand movie sites are producing original content. Very interesting indeed.
ReplyDeleteI tried watching Marco Polo, but I just didn't find it very good. Visually, it was stunning. But I was bored.
At least they have the artistic freedom to try some new things. Not held back by convention.
MARCO POLO was truly boring, but it gets better after sixth or seventh episode when the dynamics finally builds up and they go to conquer China. I just finished the whole series last weekend. I didn't like it visually because I was extremely annoyed by then not using any interior lights so most of the series passes in utter darkness... what is the point of spending 100 million bucks on the lavish sets if you don't see them because somebody didn't turn on the lights???
DeleteThe Clan sounds very interesting!
ReplyDeleteHope they do it properly!
Deletethey say a lot of Europeans and those of European-descent do have some Neanderthal ancestry. I kind of wonder what the hybrid children were like.
ReplyDeleteProbably like little monkeys :)
DeleteThese both sound pretty good. I still need to read Jean Auel's books before watching the series though.
ReplyDeletehope there aren't dozens of them :) Some of those ladies don't know when to stop writing a saga :)
DeleteHmm, I'll probably pass on both of these. I never read the Clan series when it came out, but even though it sold well, I heard reviews that said the historical content wasn't well researched and the romance overwhelms the story. Good for romance readers; but not for me.
ReplyDeleteI admit I enjoyed 10,000 BC though. There is hope for Clan.
10,000 BC was poorly written but it had such amazing scenes and stunning special effects! I still remember the sabre-toothed tiger scenes
Delete"Les enfants de la Terre" is the French title for "THE CLAN OF THE CAVE BEAR"...I am a fan of the books! Hope it will be great!
ReplyDeletefingers crossed, although, you probably shouldn't expect too much given it is Lifetime :)
DeleteYeah, seeing as it's a Lifetime movie I don't have high hopes, but you never know...
ReplyDeletefingers crossed they surprise us :)
DeleteLooking forward to The Clan. Marco Polo gets such a bad wrap but I enjoyed it. It did pick up a lot as it went on and I was glad to see it renewed for another season.
ReplyDeleteyep, it got better after the seventh episode after which we were also finally able to distinguish the Asian ladies in it LOL... or sort of....
DeleteI don't think I've read or seen much about Casanova, so that one will be a learning experience.
ReplyDeleteCould be a fun one!
DeleteMillie Brady is certainly a gorgeous young woman!
ReplyDeletevery intriguing blue eyes
DeleteTwo series to keep in mind! With special attention for the clan of the cave bear!
ReplyDeleteGreetings
