OK, found The Ugly American.

Filmed in Thailand 1963

Watching it now....my memory of the book is a bit faint....

OK, good copy. Great acting but the movie didn't follow the book so much.

Nice to see Thailand in the 60s.

TV serie, Ozarks. Quite good. Worth a watch.

 

 

Netflix seems to have fallen into a formulaic approach with these otherwise excellent 'original' series. Thi sis one a few, I've watched, where they seem to have a 'woman's, episode at about episode 7, wherein they devote the whole hour to backflashes, building the romantic and relationship aspects, to the leads and plot... never mind the other episodes were great

Detroit[2017]

 

Powerful portrayal of police brutality and murder in 1960s Detroit race riots focuses around one actual incident at the Algiers hotel and subsequent trial. Worth seeing.

TV series Blue Planet ll - very good and notable for the sheer quality of the footage, with many previously unseen phenomena .

 

In the Coasts episode, young male Sea Lions in the Galapagos herd 60 Kg Yellow Fin Tuna into the shallows in and near channels through rock pools, using teamwork, strategy and frankly, cleverness... result? more Tuna than they can eat in a day...

Atomic Blonde (2017)

 

So, Charlize Theron and Sofia Boutella, together, in the same movie, nekid, going at it.

 

Oh you need the story details?

Well a "Collapse of the Wall" era spy thriller with enough twists to keep Le Carre on his toes and Theron is one mean assed ball busting bitch.

 

Just watch it

For those of you that want to understand what President Trump is up against.

An excellent doco that explains the failures of the NSA, from the Vietnam Tet Offensive to modern day.

Dunkirk [2017]

 

Now available on BlueRay rip, they don't make them like they used to! The story of the Dunkirk evacuation is more style than substance with hollow characters, albeit visually impressive best seeing on a big screen system.

Only watched about 1/2 but he covers many, many things not commonly known.

From what he says, FDR and Truman had some big screw ups....
