"After enjoying "John Adams" ,and ,of course the gracious bowing out of "the Wire" i just had to tell you about a new four part T.V series from channel four "the Devil's Whore"..Having been infuriated by the actions of "Jimmy McNulty",creating the "homeless man killer",( I even heard a Wire fan call it a "jump the shark" moment ),thinking that he may go "all the way" and actually commit a murder. Accepting the,quite conventional way that David Simon ended things .. One thought left hanging was,what did Mcnulty (West) do next?..Answer: Dominic West is, no less than, Oliver Cromwell!, in "The Devil's Whore" a contentious iconic figure that he fills out superbly..honestly,i hardly thought of McNulty at all ..Co-written by Martine Brant and Peter Flannery,(who is famous for a great bit of T.V from the nineties ."Our Friends In the North" which is full of top Brit stars that are even bigger names now..Daniel Craig ,Mark Strong,Gina McKee and Chris Ecclestone..) ..this is an Historicall ...

""John Adams" just saw the first one,and it's undeniably great. Not sure if i'm "hooked" or not ,yet..Paul Giamatti is sooo watchable ,but my overall impression was of a really well made "schools programme" ,a high production value version of what (still running) Brit kids "magazine show "Blue Peter" used to do.( Probably still does.Only now,instead of inviting letters and drawings they get steered towards the web-site and encouraged to e-mail.) First episode starts in 1770 Boston,(so,you think "six" years to go...),when the English started to really piss off the "settlers". Adams.ends up reluctantly signing up for the Independence cause ,after "home-rule" is imposed...it's so historically and "present-day" instructional,it HURTS!!! In London ,this week .plans begin, to move the American Embassy from Grosvenor Square to a site south of the river in Wandsworth..(I used to live in Wandsworth)..Adams used to live on the Grosvenor Square site in 1780,apparently,prior to be ...

"Tom Hanks and Paul Giamatti took the Capitol by storm last night for the premier of their mini-series, John Adams. Hanks garners a level of star power that brings out some of the Hill’s finest to gawk, but as he was walking through the halls of the Capitol, it seemed like Hanks was the one in awe. (Photo by John Shinkle) As he was giving his entourage a history lesson of the building, Hanks told Politico that the building “just knocks you back.” He stopped at the statue of Philo T. Farnsworth, inventor of the first completely electronic television and referred to him as “the father of HBO.” Among the entourage was Hanks’s daughter, Liz, who, dressed in a fabulous sequined t-shirt dress (from Banana Republic on sale she told us), affectionately shepherded Hanks around with a, “This way Dad.” Nancy Pelosi gave Giamatti a shout out for being an Italian John Adams. The feature’s director, Tom Hooper, said he cast Giamatti beca ... "
