---|---|---|
“Elvis” – Interesting story, annoying in-your-face editing, too much mumbling. But it has inspired me to read an Elvis biography… | ||
“What Abigail Did That Summer”, Ben Aaronovitch. Liked this one too, nice and tightly focussed, foxes rule! | ||
“Heretics of Dune”, Frank Herbert. Drawn back to the Duniverse but a bit hard-going, slow story lots of talking | ||
“Night Sky” Season 1 – should have checked that season 2 hadn’t been canned before I started. Slow going at times but a fun and touching watch. | ||
“Why We Get the Wrong Politicians”, Isabel Hardman, interesting, frustrating, well written, still want to keep away from politics! | ||
“The Idea Factory – Bell Labs and the Great Age of American Innovation”, Jon Gertner – would have preferred more science and less personality but that’s just me… A great read, and thought provoking, recommended. | ||
“Reconstructing Amelia”, Kimberley McCreight – Enjoyed this, although the final reveal was slightly too much of a coincidence but the plotting and story structure was intriguing. | ||
“The Phantom of the Open”, tour-def-force acting by Mark Rylance in a enjoyable caper – the sort of movie that seems to be coming something of a British cinema staple. | ||
“The Duke” – great fun, clever cinematography and an BAFTA worthy performance from Jim Broadbent. |
