Weāve been watching Serengeti lately. The reviews have been mixed-- apparently some people donāt like dramatized nature shows-- but we are highly enjoying it. The cinematography is amazing, and I want to but donāt want to know how they filmed some of the point-of-view and closeup shots.

Anthony Starr as a blond sociopath parody of Captain America is hands down the creepiest portrayal that Iāve seen in quite some time.

Not to be contrary; it wasnāt obvious to me.

The Lives of Others. A really good film.
On headphones, naturlich.
I wish I could say that the SDH nature of the subtitles enriched the experience by getting everything down in writing. But no. Netflix should procure real subtitles. Or maybe I should brush up on my German.

It sounds like perhaps Ms. Lynch was talking out of school, but this was reported on Jezebel:
But, if this IS a thing, Iāll definitely give it a whirl.

Lair of the White Worm (Amazon).
Hugh Grant stars, but Peter Capaldi is also in it.
Itās the kind of movie with dream sequences. Also, the director seems to have some sort of stocking fetish.

Le Casa de Papel on Netflix. Using subtitles, because I have never felt comfortable with dubs. They are very uncanny valley for me.
Still in Part 1. But itās a good illustration of why you never trust your perfect, complex plan that requires self-discipline and self-control to a bunch of career criminals and never work with hostages if you can avoid it. And Berlin needs a short drop into a long, empty elevator shaft.

I remember how many people hated it, but I think the sad part was how much it put a dent in Sammi Davisā upward trajectory, especially after such a strong performance in Hope and Glory.

I thought Lair did well at the Box Office though? (IMDb doesnāt seem to have that info readily accessible.) She immediately went on to Ken Russellās The Rainbow, which I think got better reviews, but didnāt do as well sales-wise.
Perhaps simply doing two Russell flicks in a row, outside his prime ā70s period, was enough to harm her career.
ETA: Ah, just checked Wikipedia (and Box Office Mojo). US ticket sales werenāt so hot, compared to the budget. On the other hand, it did better than Russellās prior film Gothic, which still did well enough on video to help Ken get the Vestron deal which led to Lair.

Iām kind of behind on this-- I just found out it existed this weekend. I watched the first two episodes, and I have the next three on my laptop to watch on my flight today. Iām quite enjoying it. Typical excellent Ken Burns.

Iām glad to see Mark Strong finally land a series that shows promise. I think heās a good actor and hopefully not a problematic man.
