'THE SILENT STORM'
We're going British today, my spylings, starting with the photos, poster and a trailer, coming from new Damian Lewis movie THE SILENT STORM a new film about the tempestuous marriage between an authoritarian minister and his gentle wife who is more in tune with nature than she is with her husband or the villagers. It’s clear she doesn’t belong there and is treated as a total outsider. Damian Lewis plays overwrought clergyman Balor McNeil, while Andrea Riseborough is his enigmatic, nature loving wife Aislin, who finds herself drawn to a fellow outcast – a delinquent, Fionn (Ross Anderson) who comes to live with them. Their island home soon beguiles the newcomer! The movie is currently playing in British and Irish cinemas!
'VICIOUS' FAREWELL EPISODE
TRAILER WITH IAN MCKELLEN AND DEREK JACOBI!
Now, here's something we did not even know it's happening, since we thought the end of the second and final season of VICIOUS was all we would see of it - the final farewell episode of the hilarious British sitcom in which Ian McKellen and Derek Jacobi play an old bitter gay couple. To air on PBS June 19th and later on in UK too the one hour final episode will chart a year in the life of Freddie and Stuart as they enjoy their inheritance and a birthday.
My mate loved this (Vicious) but I didn't see much humour!
ReplyDeleteI adored it myself, but just the first season, the second one kinda lost it going only for swearings and such nonsense.... I did love them at Eurosong, though, they were hilariously vicious
DeleteYay for going British. The Silent Storm has an interesting storyline.
ReplyDeletewe don't know what we'd do most of the time without British TV!
DeleteVicious, was so disappointing. Two great actors. One terrible script. Shan't be watching it again.
ReplyDeleteThe first run had its moments, focusing on their bickering and marvellous acting and beautiful supporting characters, but the second run was just travesty, there was no humour in it, just old actors saying effity eff every two minutes, that was nasty.... Ian and Derek were still outstanding, though.... and Fleur too!
DeleteI'm sorry to hear there won't be a third season of Vicious. I loved it! But I'll watch the finale -- thanks for the heads up about the air date.
ReplyDelete"The Silent Storm" looks good too. Damien Lewis is an amazing actor. Quite apart from the character's controlling and domineering nature about his wife, I suspect he's a closet case who hankers after the delinquent himself.
yes, I announced it was cancelled a year ago or so, but I totally forgot they were doing this episode :) I wonder if Stuart will get pregnant :)
DeleteNow, wouldn't it be fun if the priest shags the delinquent? Oh, my, sweet dreams tonight :)
Never heard of that show
ReplyDeleteoh, puhlease, Adam, I wrote about it only like a gazillion times....
DeleteI have never seen Vicious- but I do like shows to have a farewell episode so that things get wrapped up. That doesn't always happen!
ReplyDelete~Jess
yes, we're glad it is happening with Gilmores this year!
DeleteThat's nice that Viscous is getting a farewell. I really hate it when shows end without a proper sendoff!
ReplyDeleteyes, like TRUTH BE TOLD and UNDATEABLE, both beloved by me, last season :((( I've never in my life seen better casts than in those two sitcoms....
