I Love James D'Arcy

I have just recently watched the movie Let's Be Cops  which I recommend because it was hilarious. I was laughing when I saw James D'Arcy playing the bad guy, covered in tattoos, and all scary  and tough looking because I had just been watching him play Jarvis in Agent Carter. I hadn't realized that he was in quite a few things I had seen, until I saw him playing Jarvis and something clicked. He was in Secret Diary of a Call Girl which I didn't watch all the time but I do recall seeing him in a few episodes. He was also in Cloud Atlas which I must have just completely looked over because I don't remember him being in that movie. He is also in Broadchurch which is just really awesome. That show is so good and intense, he makes it even better.  He is an English actor and is also in the recent movie Jupiter Ascending staring Mila Kunis. I have yet to see the movie but I really want to, even though the reviews were not so good for the film. I love him on Agent ...

Gracepoint After Thoughts

I realize this is a little late, but I have just caught up on this week of shows. Next up on my list is Fox's new mystery series Gracepoint . This show stars Anna Gunn and David Tennant. David stared in the UK version called Broadchurch as the same role. I was pleasantly surprised with this adaptation because usually I don't like US remakes of UK shows. This one was not so bad and Anna Gunn did a good job as Ellie Miller so that made me happy. The show is about a small town that has never had anything really bad happen in it go through the horrible experience of finding a murderer of a young boy. Danny was the name of the boy who was killed and the person who killed him tried to make it look like an accident. This story was really great and in the UK version I did was shocked and surprised in each episode. I am sure the story is the same as the UK version because this first episode was just like the first episode of Broadchurch. If that is the case then you are all in for o...

Gracepoint Vs. Broadchurch

Even though Gracepoint does not start until October 2nd, but I still must talk about it more. There have been shows that were remade in America, and turned out terrible. British TV shows are some of my favorite things to watch because it is so smartly done. When good shows, Skins for example are remade in America it may be the same story lines, but it is just no good. The acting is just off, and with Skins it seemed nastier than the British version. It is the same vulgar language, and sexual situations as the original but it was just not done well. I am hoping that Gracepoint will be one of the rare shows that is remade, and actually good. I am glad David Tennant is still playing the leading male character because I cannot see anyone else playing that role. Anna Gunn will be staring there right next to him, and hopefully that chemistry works out well. This series was based on the murder of a young boy, and trying to find who did it. This small town is close knit, and they have th...

FOX's Gracepoint Looks Promising

Fox has a new show coming out this fall and it is the American adaption of the UK hit Broadchurch.  I thought that Broadchurch was an amazing series, and it had some really good writing on it. The Fox series will star David Tennant which I am glad about because he made the show that much better, and his acting skills amazed me. David Tennant will star along side Anna Gunn, who we remember from her role as Skylar White on Breaking Bad. I was a little put off at first because a lot of the time when shows are remade in America they are not nearly as good as the original, but the promo looks so good and the story looks the same, and I am excited for it. I am not Anna Gunn's biggest fan, but I hope that she does a good job in this role. If you are a fan of crime drama's, and David Tennant then check this show out this Fall. Thank you for reading. Keep Dreaming and Scheming!
