Sidney Lumet double bill #2 Prince Of The City (1981) Dark, complex and unforgettable. Better than Serpico by a mile. Before The Devil Knows You're Dead (2007) One of cinema's greatest directorial swan songs and one of Lumet's best films. American Masters Sidney wasn't a very charismatic talker , concentrating mainly on his stage background with hardly any anecdotes about the actual film making. I realised how many of his films I still haven't seen. A lot are almost impossible to get hold of.

Sherlock The Six Thatchers Comic book balderdash. The script writing chaps were on holiday so the tea lady, assisted by Guy Ritchie, took up the reins. I'll stick to Elementary, at least it has half decent stories.

The Yellow Sea - Na Hong-jin (2010) Brutal crime thriller from South Korea. Not quite on the heartstopping level of The Chaser but still makes Hollywood look tired and tame.

Yep. We watched The Girl On The Train this afternoon, which I enjoyed without much admiration. Been there, done that ending, at least the coup de grace choice of weapon was original, and highly predictable narrative didn't diminish my enjoyment. Emily Blunt's very effective performance made the film. Films that I admire and enjoy in equal measure are actually in a minority. Don't miss The Handmaiden !
