[CBHagman]

1. "Odd Man Out" is a real nail-biter.

And it does it all without actually mentioning the IRA by name, if I recall correctly.

[Bolo Boffin]

2. That one looks good

I also haven't seen The Fallen Idol yet, and "Tired Old Queen" made Green Means Danger sound good, too.

3. I just saw 'The Fallen Idol' for the first time recently

on CBH's recommendation, and it was really good. I don't know how I missed it this long, but I'm very glad I saw it!

'A Night To Remember' is excellent also- and very timely!
