Rolling Stone's 376th greatest album of all time
Great album, albeit with quite a mix of different styles, from the jazz hit "It's Oh So Quiet" to the almost trip hop of "Army of Me". One of the most unique voices and personalities in music.

Christopher Nolan's retelling of the Dunkirk Evacuation of May 1940, when the Allied troops were trapped on the beaches by an ever-advancing German army.
Told in 3 distinct over-lapping theatres: the Mole, the Sea and the Air, and with limited dialogue, I have to say (and I realise I'm probably in the minority here) I didn't really rate this movie all that much - to me, the shots of the British army seemed laughable small (I'm positive it was far larger than shown), while the constant attempts to pull on the viewers emotions just had the opposite effect, and the never-explained-very-clearly intersecting timelines just didn't work.

northern limits of empire
the author has a detailed knowledge of roman army and history and felt the book was slightly too long but did enjoy it overall as you felt you were on the fringes of the roman empire in whats now close to the english/scottish borders.

Watched this on Netflix a while ago now.
I did enjoy this - I love a good action film - but it made Chris Hemsworth's character into a one man army for most of the film. That being said, I'm hoping that there will be a sequel.
