August-Sept 2015

The Quatermass Xperiment. Hammer produced at Bray. Excellent. Worth watching to see the garage at Bray, London Zoo prices at 2/- for adults, 1/3 for children, and a working Battersea Power Station. 4/5
The Lair of the White Worm. Oh dear. Ken Russell. Lots of sex and stuff but oh dear. Peter Capaldi. Etc. but oh dear. 2/5. Worth watching for the guy with the lazy eye as a PC.
Taken. Liam Neeson. Luc Besson co-wrote it! Gripping stuff until,the finale asked you to suspend a little too much disbelief. 3/5
Witnesses. TV. French. Atmospheric but sort of not properly worked out. Good sense of place. Well acted. 3.5/5
Blade Runner. Director's cut. 1997. Enough said. 5/5
Line of Duty. Season one. All five episodes. Great stuff. Well plotted. Gritty. Exciting. Good acting. Etc etc 4.5/5
Odyssey. I enjoyed it. Marg stopped watching halfway through. Worth sticking with. 3.5/5
Doctor Who. Season 1. 4.5/5. My favourite companion.
Doctor Who. Season ? has begun. OK.
Castle S04 - all except first half dozen or so episodes. Excellent ending. Then watched first of season 5.
Doctor Foster - half way through 5 episodes. Suranne Jones the only good thing about it.
Hunger Games: Mockinjay pt1 Bit of a let down after first two - prob cos they've extended it over two parts. So there wasn't a b, m and end. 3/5?
Lawrence of Arabia. Awesome. Watched over two nights. Fewer credited than hairdressers on Mockingjay. Full of 'moments' 5.5/5
Nightcrawler. JG. Disturbing. (Eliot's word) Really well acted.
Frances Ha. Mono. Brilliant lead actress who co-wrote. 4/5
