  2. Darkest Hour - Joe Wright (2017) It brought to mind Iron Lady and The Queen, fair to middling films with majestic lead performances. May as well Fedex Gary his Oscar now, he was an outstandingly good Churchill. Unfortunately the rest of the film didn't really do justice to his brilliant performance. The cast were all good but the narrative of Churchill vs the sue for peace faction didn't really work imo. The Underground scene was unreal, in the literal sense of the word. I did like the dark and gloomy recreation of the subterranean government HQ, and the house of commons chamber. Definitely not a masterpiece but Gary was masterly.

  5. Englands Forgotten Queen : The Life & Death Of Lady Jane Grey BBC An interesting history lesson. The various academics were far more interesting than the awful graphics.

  8. Doubtless the Rusty character was introduced as an instrument to switch the nasty bitch Sharon to the softer user friendly model. It's a mystery why such an annoying brat was kept on as a regular cast member.
  9. Indeed. The Closer morphed into Major Cimes with a very skillful sleight of hand. I'm sure a lot of people thought the ousting of Brenda by big bad Sharon was the death knell of the show.
  10. Major Crimes series finale. Fairly well tied up. Sad to see this lot go, they were one of the most likeable ensemble casts (except Rusty). House Of Saud BBC Ep1 The Chi ! & 2 Can't get into it as yet. McMafia BBC Dreadful !

Search For Peace Personnel: Ralph Bowen, tenor sax; Jim Ridl, piano; Kenny Davis, bass; Cliff Almond, drums Label: Positone Records I think some of the animal collective nouns are of dubious accuracy. Anyhow, good session.
  12. The Shape Of Water - Guillermo del Toro (2017) Beauty & The Beast retold as Amelie meets The Creature From The Black Lagoon. It should be seen on a big screen. It was visually very good. It was peppered with many beautifully stylish flourishes and references that should amuse film addicts. Sally Potter pulls off the difficult mute role with great style. Michael Shannon plays another memorable evildoer. It really didn't amount to a great deal in the end. It didn't think it was as good as Pan's Labyrinth, Devil's Backbone or Crimson Peak. I thought it was solid but the effusive praise is puzzling.
