Aquarius - Kleber Mendonca Filho (2016) Picked this up through The Guardian end of the year list. Really good film with terrific central performance by Sonia Braga.

A really good album, much more than a hit single and padding. The Stax house band at full power, they never miss a beat.

Valley Girls Glen Campbell Dale Carnegie

Mother ! - Darren Aronofsky (2017) Nice Jennifer Lawrence drops a mega dose of bad acid. That's all you need to know. Intreresting but seriously deranged.

Dunkirk - Christopher Nolan (2017) Dazzling, breathtaking film that grips like a vice from first frame to last. With a bare minimum of dialogue , the film is propelled by truly amazing cinematography and editing with subtle use of idiosyncratic non linear cutting. For me this elevates Nolan to the ranks of David Lean and Alfred Hitchcock.

Hell Or High Water - Taylor Sheridan (2016) Actually better on the second viewing.

Octavia Spencer The Chords Roger Corman

Kissing Jessica Stein - Charles Herman Wurmfeld (2001)

Blue skies, sunny, about 10C. Very pleasant.

The Foreigner -Martin Campbell (2017) Jackie Chan does Liam Neeson, not. Although the great man is billed as the main attraction, the film is actually a smart, well done political thriller 'with' or 'and ' JC. I enjoyed it a lot. The action parts are convincing ala Jason Bourne and Pierce Brosnan is an excellent evil doer. Exceeded expectations.

Detroit - Kathryn Bigelow (2017) Wrenching, powerhouse film making. Oddly, I've been listening to The Dramatics quite a lot recently.
