  2. Yasujiro Ozu double bill. Akibiyori / Late Autumn (1960) Sanma No Aji / An Autumn Afternoon (1962) Masterpiece. Ozu saved one of his finest for his swansong.

  12. Zero Days - Alex Gibney (2016) Very informative look at the cyber attacks on the Iranian centrifuge programme, and the wider picture of cyber warfare. Scary stuff.
  13. Dennis Wheatley Mandy Rice Davies Patricia Cornwell
  14. I Am Belfast - Christopher Cousins (2015) Bland , impressionist type portrait of Belfast. Droning, barely comprehensible voice over almost sank it for me. A great pity because the present day footage by maestro Christopher Doyle is beautiful . If only they'd put a sock in the nonsense narration and let the photography speak for itself. Can't compare with Of Time & The City. Love both films.

  16. Has to be the definitive account of Verdum. Compulsively well written and a must read for anyone interested in The Great War.

  20. Two more from Stephen Soderbergh Sex Lies & Videotape (1989) Surpisingly I hadn't rewatched this for about 15 years. The last time was on VHS so the difference in quality and time lapse made it seem like I was watching for the first time. Very interesting and absorbing, technically excellent , well written and executed. It's only weakness for me was my inability to really relate to the characters. They seemed just objects for manipulation as part of the story. Still, very good and worth yet another viewing soon. King Of The Hill (1993) This is the first Soderbergh film that fully won me over. The cerebral aspects of Sex Lies and Kafka are put aside for straight narrative storytelling. Beautifully made, glowing cinematography, fine set design and a memorable performance as young Aaron by Jesse Bradford. The tough story of the kid's fight with poverty and bad luck is told without a shred of sentimentality, concentrating on his true grit and intelligence. A great film and the best of Soderbergh's early work imho. Recommended without reservation.

  24. Haywire is well worth a watch. A B movie with an A list cast, made with Soderbergh's usual panache and visual flair. I think you'd find it entertaining. I've watched it a few times. Will be working through some more of his catalogue this week.
