Boxcar Bertha, another Corman produced film this time directed by Scorsese, was pretty entertaining, it's got Dave Carradine & Babs Hershey in the leads and is really nicely shot. Apparently it's pretty far from the facts but who cares ? it's gritty, got a great soundtrack and for something so cheaply made it's 90mins well worth spending.

Caught Q & A on TV the other night, about half an hour in, no big deal as I've seen it quite a few times. It's a real sleazy dirty-cop-thriller directed by Sidney Lumet one of my favourite directors, it's kinda aged badly with the cheesy synth pop and 80's outfits but Nick Nolte's blistering performance makes up for any flaws.

We watched the first season of Southland this week - it's a post-Wire police procedural concentrating mainly on the squad cars. There's a fair bit of the officers personal lives but I hope it can build into some decent crime-based story arcs cause since the Shield and The Wire finished I've been hankering for some cop stuff. Anyways it's been picked up for more so fingers crossed.
