I knew the day would come for me to squeeze in two weeks in one without writing excessively. Well, here it is. The day. Movie of the Weeks Sense and Sensibility (1995) Tuesday, the week before Dunkirk (2017): Nolan’s big war movie reintroduces that which set him apart in Memento (2000) – unusual time mechanics.… Read more

In preparation for the event, I thought some lessons of wisdom from radiation ridden old ladies might do me good. Babushkas turned out to… Read more

Movie of the Week: Alien Resurrection Tuesday Harvey (1950): Long festering on my watchlist, I gor around to watching this Jimmy Stewart showpiece by pure randomness.… Read more
