EP:23 - Spock v Columbo! (Columbo: A Stitch in Crime)

In this episode of Luke Who’s Watching, I’m going to talk about Columbo, A Stitch in Crime.

There are two reasons why I’m watching this season 2 episode of Columbo, firstly because Columbo is grouse! and secondly, I’ve been rewatching Star Trek, the original series, which stars Mr Leonard Nimoy, yes Spock’s in an episode Columbo, and it’s a great episode.

Nimoy plays a jerk doctor, who tries to commit a murder, sort of fails, but also commits two others. Columbo looses is cool, which is unusual for a Columbo, but as usual, Columbo solves the crime.

EP:21 - Odd (Daisies)

In this episode of Luke Who’s Watching, I’m going to talk about the 1966 Czech film, Daisies.

This is a rather odd film, but it’s fun odd. Sometimes you watch an unusual film that’s ‘odd’ but it’s odd/weird in a disturbing sort of way, this is not one of those films.

I’m honestly not sure what to write, odd, fun, unusual. I think those words best describe Daisies.

EP:20 - Boardwalk Empire (S1 E1)

In this episode of Luke Who’s Watching, I’m going to talk about the pilot episode of Boardwalk Empire.

There is quite a bit happening in this opening episode of Boardwalk Empire, there is a heist, murder, crime meetings, parties and sexual intercourse….

Being a ‘pilot’ episode, we are introduced into the world and all the main stakeholders in the bootleg booze ear, the established bosses, Nucky Thompson and Arnold Rothstein. As well as the ‘up and coming’ goons, James Darmody, Al Capone and Lucky Luciano. Plus a few other key characters that play major roles in the show moving forward.

Something that I think is interesting is the inclusion of ‘Big’ Jim Colosimo, who is a real throw away character as we don’t see him after this first episode.

Now, just a quick word on Steve Buscemi who plays ‘Nucky’ Thompson, before I saw Boardwalk Empire, Buscemi to me was always someone who played ‘goofy’ and ‘odd’ characters, never anything serious. But seeing him in this was a bit transformation of my opinion on him, at least of what Buscemi I’ve seen, this is easily his best work.

Scorsese does a great job at directing this episode, the production and the outfits are great. If you love The Godfather, Goodfellas, The Sopranos or any sort of ‘gangster’ films I think Boardwark Empire is worth a watch if you can.

EP:19 - Curry (Barbie in the Nutcracker)

In this episode of Luke Who’s Watching, I’m going to talk about Barbie in the Nutcracker.

Umm, yeah, Barbie.

This would probably be great if I was 6, or if I had given it my full attention. It could be a good as The Godfather….

But, most importantly, it all works out for Barbie in the end.

EP:18 - I Love Audrey (Breakfast at Tiffany's)

In this episode of Luke Who’s Watching, I’m going to talk about Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

I love Audrey Hepburn, George Peppard is pretty solid as ‘Fred/Paul Baby’ However, Mickey Rooney character isn’t great.

The film does have one really interesting shot, decent enough love story, decent enough film. Oh and did I say how gorgeous Audrey Hepburn is.

EP:17 - Mystery Road

In this episode of Luke Who’s Watching, I’m going to talk about Mystery Road.

Mystery Road, is an Australian franchise consisting of two films. Mystery Road and Goldstone, plus a spin-off series also called Mystery Road and more recently a prequel titled Mystery Road: Origin.

To start off with, I’ve not seen the two films, so my thoughts will be based mainly on the first two series of the TV show, as I recently watched them from start to finish.

The series follows indigenous detective Jay Swan who is superbly played by Aaron Pedersen, as he solves various crimes in remote outback communities. They dynamic Detective Swan has between the local community and his colleagues is rather interesting, he’s somewhat at odds with both sides. He’s not really apart of the indigenous community because ‘he’s a copper’ but he’s also not really apart of the law enforcement community because he’s aboriginal.

I could write a lot more about Mystery Road, the ensemble cast and performances are great, the locations and cinematography is superb and Mystery Road is a great showcase for Australian Film and TV production, in my opinion.

If you can, id urge you to try and seek the series out and give at least one episode a watch and if you don’t like it, don’t continue watching it.

EP:16 - Mr Cool

In this episode of Luke Who’s Watching, I’m going to talk about the 1968 film, Bullitt.

What to say about Bullitt, it’s got it all, two foot chases, a car chase, a smooth yet greasy ‘villain’ and a smooth, cool, yet not quite sexy ‘hero’ plus the classic gruff police captain.

I really think the build up to the infamous car chase is great, and the tension at times between Steve McQueen and Robert Vaughn is great.

I do like this film quite a lot, probably mostly down to Steve McQueen being a smooth guy, who wears a turtle neck!

EP:15 - Panic Room

In this episode of Luke Who’s Watching, I’m going to talk about the 2002 film, Panic Room.

Imagine Speed, but in a locked room, that's probably the best way i could describe this film. The setup is ok, the conclusion is alright, but once they're in the room, there's only so much you can say about it.

I thought 12 year old Kirsten Stewart was quite good, Jodie Foster and Forest Whitaker solid as always. I do have some issues with this film, the criminals being stupid being my major gripe, but that's probably because Jared Leto was the 'head goon' and the intercom situation did annoy me a little.

It's alright, seen worse and seen better.

EP:14 - Columbo: Lady In Waiting

In this episode of Luke Who’s Watching, I’m going to talk about another Columbo episode! season ones, ‘Lady In Waiting’.

This episode is a personal favourite of mine, and it’s also somewhat interesting as there is no question as to who the murder is, because they are basically acquitted in court for an ‘Accidental Homicide’

But, Columbo thinks it was a premeditated murder and not an accident, so he has to prove this somehow. Luckily sexy Leslie Nielsen, YES that guy, he’s very good in this episode. Helps Columbo with this by putting the ‘cart before the horse’

I like Columbo, so I naturally liked this episode of the show SHOCKER!
