Pride (2014) - IMDb
Gays and lesbians team up with miners on strike in Wales in the 80s in a support of solidarity against the establishment. Barriers are broken and friendships formed.
7/10
Under the Skin (2013) - IMDb
An alien in the form of Scarlett Johansson drives around Scotland in a van, seduces blokes and consumes them. It's not as good as it sounds.
5/10

Hitler - A Career. 40 year old doc about his rise to power. Ending's a little bit rushed but otherwise grimly fascinating.

First time I watched it I thought it was pretty good, so watched it later with my daughter (tough female lead etc) but it is in fact utter shit. I guess my expectations were so low the first time because it was a DC film. Also the dumbarse fish out of water shit was painful. Bollocks.

So many particulars. So many questions.
I only watched half. There was no lasso of truth. You can't have WW without the lasso of truth.

Gulag - extremely partial but valuable 1999 documentary talking to people who survived the system. More factual /ideological holes than a string vest, but some extraordinary images and testimony. 3h+ of pure frozen misery so not a light watch though. Still available for the rest of Nov here.

Girl With All The Gifts
cracking film, no happy ever afters and no wastage. Just a smart well made zombie/apocalypse film

I thought this was really good too and the twist at the end was well done.
Excellent cast too -- was a bit surprised to see Glenn Close in a lowish budget British film but good for her, going for something interesting rather than blockbuster.

Watched 'Source Code' last night. Pretty good sci-fi time travel thriller thing with Jake Gyllenhall.

Atomic Blonde (2017) - IMDb
MI6/CIA spy/action film that treads all the same ground that existing films in this genre have visited before. It's nothing new. It's not a bad film, but it's not anything you'd ever watch again. Clearly an attempt at creating a new franchise, not quite sure it performed well enough at box office to warrant a sequel, but then hardly anything has performed well over the past 24 months.
6/10

It may have been run of the mill but Charlize gets a nod of approval because she brought a lot to it, working with a dire script, and obviously trained for the part. Seems to be a thing these days.

Finished Stranger Things 2. I think it needs to move out beyond the confines of the small town because it will just end up being a rehash. Then again, it may well get criticised for doing so.
Started Mindhunter. Very cinematic, charismatic leads and grim wrong 'uns. Another David Fincher cracker.
The Lost Honour of Christopher Jeffries. I couldn't rememeber much of the original case so this was gripping as I didn't know where it was leading but by the time we got to
the penny had dropped. How good was Jason Watkins in this?
ep 7 where Eleven goes to the city (I quite enjoyed it) wasn't overly popular, afaik
