Yes. It's really good and appeals just as much to non-wine geeks, the silly faux pas re the 99 vs 2000 cheval blanc notwithstanding.

Though my gosh episode 9. Wowzers. It was pretty electric. Back on form. The weight of Logan's presence was extraordinary and the manner in which the speeches epitomised both the fraught family narrative as well as a fairly thorough representation of the varied political and economic ideologies of the US.

Excellent acting by Kieran Culkin.

Go no then Dan I’ll bite.
Apart from the 2000 being a 2 point better rated CB what did I miss?

There’s a pretty huge difference between the 99 and 2000 CBs. The idea that the supposedly gifted taster would confuse them is a pretty obvious mistake.

Watched Living on the plane today. What a truly exceptional film. I’ve never quite seen what all the fuss was about Nighy but he really was superb in this, as was the entire cast. Mind you, they were gifted a superb script and a director who actually allowed them to act. Probably the best scripted, directed and acted film I can recall in recent years.

Close on Mubi. Made my heart ache.

Watched the 1979 Alien film (again) tonight which was released 44 years ago yesterday. Stupendous stuff - still.

A great film. I think that still is from Alien 3 which I also watched recently

I read some mixed reviews of Guardians of the Galaxy 3 when it came out, but the the negative reviews are from critics with no sense of fun. By far the best Marvel movie since Endgame, it’s a great action movie with lots of emotion, action and special effects. The 2.5 hours flew by and it was actually good enough to watch a 2nd time. Great stuff.

Saw this last week. Thoroughly enjoyed it despite tweeness during last 15 minutes.

Nobody on Netflix. For the lovers of Breaking Bad and better Call Saul. Lead roll played by Bob Odenkirk. No relation in the story to said series.

The Long Good Friday. Will always be somewhere in my top 5. “What I'm looking for is someone who can contribute to what England has given to the world: culture, sophistication, genius.”
Its composer Francis Monkman died earlier this month. There was a lovely obituary for him in the Independent. Beyond that memorable synth score, he was also
involved in The 801 with Phil Manzanera and Brian Eno, Sky, Curved Air and much else besides.
The last word must as always go to Bob Hoskins’ pearly whites

Distant voices, still lives. What a film
Super Mario Bros. movie. Not as good.

Made the mistake of rewatching Lucy the other night (my brain had obviously done that bury the trauma deep thing, so I didn't recall just how bad it was). Didn't make it to the end in the end. What an execrable film. Utter nonsense from start to finish.

I watched Covenant on the plane tonight. First decent Guy Ritchie film in a long time. Solid B+.

Agreed with Dan on The Covenant. Great movie. So much better than Richie’s other dire offering of Operation Firtune which is one to avoid

Promising Young Woman with Carey Mulligan, whom I rate as an actor. Really good, but disturbing. And then Green Book: fantastic. I see why it won the Best Picture Oscar.

Oppenheimer,
Very well done and does not feel at all like its 3 hours run time.
Matt Damon and Robert Downey Jnr. stand out from a supporting cast that has strength in depth.
But the honours must surely go to our own Thomas Shelby esq.
What a scientist, is there nothing the chap can’t achieve?

I skipped to Catch a Killer originally. Glad I caught up with it... Guest starring Finchy.

I sat down to watch Toy Story (yet again) with my daughter the other day and only realised after the film ended that she had not bothered to even come downstairs to watch it.
I did watch Some Like it Hot recently - such a good film - tight writing.

The Deepest Breath on Netflix is well worth a watch.
A fascinating and moving docu-film about a Freedivers and the relationships and community amongst them.
