I don't have the dvd but wish I did have the movie "Spencer's Mountain" So I could remember Maureen O'Hara who passed away today. She was 95 and one of the most beautiful Lady's I've seen in the movies. She also starred in the quiet man with John Wayne. All the good ones are passing on.
just watched "Svengoolie" show which featured a replay of "Dracula" [1931] with an interesting new sound track
Maureen O'Hara was certainly special and had such a long career. I remember her in Miracle on 34th Street. Then in Parent Trap in the 70's. Beautiful, classy actress.
Watch "The Quiet Man" with her and John Wayne.
Ironically, Maureen passed away today in Boise Idaho aged 95.
Terminator: Genisys on Vudu.. just purchased and downloaded the video.

Darwin's Struggle: The Evolution of the Origin of Species
Documentary telling the little-known story of how Darwin came to write his great masterpiece On the Origin of Species, a book which explains the wonderful variety of the natural world as emerging out of death and the struggle of life.
In the twenty years he took to develop a brilliant idea into a revolutionary book, Darwin went through a personal struggle every bit as turbulent as that of the natural world he observed. Fortunately, he left us an extraordinary record of his brilliant insights, observations of nature, and touching expressions of love and affection for those around him. He also wrote frank accounts of family tragedies, physical illnesses and moments of self-doubt, as he laboured towards publication of the book that would change the way we see the world.
The story is told with the benefit of Darwin's secret notes and correspondence, enhanced by natural history filming, powerful imagery from the time and contributions from leading contemporary biographers and scientists.

The Stuarts in Exile
Episode 1
In 1715, the Old Pretender James Francis Stuart launched one of British history's most audacious and longest running rebellions to reclaim his throne from the Hanoverian king George I.
In this two-part 300th-anniversary special, Dr Clare Jackson tells the story of The Stuarts in Exile and sheds new light on the political, military and cultural threat the Jacobites posed to the embryonic British state. Although the '15' ultimately failed, it crystallized the stark choice facing those living in early 18th-century Britain.
Are you for the Stuarts or are you for Hanoverians?

I will be very interested in watching that one. I have a direct ancestor who was on Bonny Prince Charlie's Muster Roll and fought for the Jacobite cause. That is why we ended up in Canada and not back in Blair Atholl.
Watching True Grit. An old classic with John Wayne , Kim Darby and Glen Campbell. Despite Glens bad acting it's a good old western.
I've watched that movie 3 times, very enjoyable, john wayne his usual self, nobody does it better.
never can get over how Sydney Crosby looks like kim darby, of course she could be his grandmother
by now. yeah glen Campbell wasn't going to get an academy award for that picture, but he was
good, made it interesting.
Jacobite scumbags.

goodwill hunting again.
Williams while interviewing Will says that his dad layed brick . Busted his a$$ so he could get an education.So Williams in this scene put His father in a positive light. Later on toward the end of the movie, Williams admits to Will that his father was an abuser. One line was, "interesting nights were when he put on his brass knuckles". I think the writers maybe screwed up there.. Getting caught up in the story line and I just picked up on that after watching the movie several times.
