  1. Right, I liked it too. Stephen Soderbergh triple bill Haywire (2011) Contagion (2011) Side Effects (2013)
  2. Muffin The Mule Moll Flanders Pied Piper
  3. Miles Ahead - Don Cheadle (2015) Patchy, fragmented attempt at telling a part of the story. Davis shown as a dislikable, gun toting cokehead. Good performance by Don Cheadle, can't say the same about his directorial choices. Worth watching but left me unengaged and indifferent.
  4. Laurence Olivier Maxim De Winter Mrs Danvers
  5. The Debt - John Madden (2010) Rewatch. The 1960's part was stronger than the bookended start and end sequences, mainly because the younger actors outshone the older veterans. Jessica Chastain steals the show. A mistake to use two sets of actors for the younger and older versions of the protagonists. The central parts were gripping and well done. The older Helen Mirren as action woman assassin dubious, despite her acting skills. Fair companion piece to Munich.
  6. John Handy Handy Andy Handy Man
  7. Victoria - Sebastian Schipper (2015) All done in one single take, no digital fixes. Spanish girl falls in with a motley crew and gets sucked into more than she bargained for. Half an hour too long, the first hour was slow. Had problems with the girl's total lack of street smarts . Liked the Berlin street locations and once the thing kicked into first gear it was quite gripping. Unfortunately I didn't think the narrative matched the obvious technical virtuosity.
  8. Eric Idle Dirk McQuickly Dirk Diggler
  9. One disc each from Dinah Washington Roulette / Benny Goodman Small Groups / Randy Weston Select / Gerry Mulligan Concert Band / Anita O'Day. It's track four on From Toshiko With Love . The cd is available from AmazonJp for a mere $100. https://www.amazon.co.jp/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?__mk_ja_JP=%E3%82%AB%E3%82%BF%E3%82%AB%E3%83%8A&url=search-alias%3Dpopular&field-keywords=from+toshiko+with+love
  10. Right. Krister Henriksson is Wallander. Kenneth Branagh is a British actor pretending to be him. No comparison at all. Me too, I gave up after the first episode. I usually give dodgy shows the benefit of the doubt and watch at least two episodes before deciding. Preacher was just awful.
  11. Loan Shark Shylock Peter Rachman
  12. Eric Stoltz Smackwater Jack King Heroin
  13. Damages Season Four and Five Half way through the final season.
  14. Tommy Ridgley Geno Washington & The Ram Jam Band Sly & The Family Stone
  15. Little Feat Daddy Long Legs Leggy Mountbatten
  16. The first truly hot day of the year, 38 in Tokyo, and first use of A/C this year. Good luck with those preposterous mid summer Tokyo Olympics.
  17. Ellen Parsons Patty Hewes Bunny Boiler
  18. Miss Moneypenny Johnny Cash Chubby Checker
  19. Toulouse Lautrec Lauden Wainwright Joan Plowright
  20. Great actress, many happy returns.
  21. Gloomy, leaden skies, very humid and day long drizzle.
  22. Damages Season Three Continuing my marathon Damages binge.
  23. Laura Lee Eddie Jefferson Little Milton
  24. Willy Loman Grace Highwater Dee Dee Bridgewater
  25. Damages Season Two
