Effectively entry #7.5 in Jim Butcher's Dresden Files series, this is thus set after the events of 'Dead Beat', with the White Council at war with the vampires of the Red Court.

Having been inducted into the Wardens ranks, Harry is sent off - with a few other such wardens - on a mission that proves (as always) to be more than it initially seems, with the tale then progressing into becoming effectively one of a siege.

I may be wrong, but I think this is also the first time it is made explicit that there is somebody behind the scenes pulling the strings ...

A wonderful insight
I grew up supporting Liverpool FC and do to this day. I remember the highs of the eighties and the lows of the nineties. This candid and frank collection of interviews with both players and managers delves into the reasons behind Liverpools gradual decline in English football in the nineties. Its a turthful behind the scenes diagnosis and autopsy on a Liverpool side who failed to be the dominant force that they were in the Eighties. From player ego's, mis-managment and an unwillingness to modernise this bares it all and is well worth a read if you have read the first insalment (The Red Machine). There is also a third book entitled Ring of Fire which i shall also be reading. A very good read and pute to bed some of the myths associated with 'The Spice Boys' :)

Watched on Amazon prime I used to have fox news at one time on my sky box and knew of some of the people who read the news never knowing what was going on behind the scenes. On with the review not usually my cup of tea but it was rather good movie the stand out acting goes to Charlize Theron who plays Megyan Kelly at one point I thought it was Megyan Kelly and not Charlize Theron the rest of the cast is excellent do I would highly recommend the movie

More factually-oriented reimagining of Carry On Girls. As preparations for Miss World 1970 gather pace in London, the contestants get to know each other and consider their different backgrounds, while a group of feminist activists prepare to make a protest and sabotage the show.

The behind-the-scenes at the actual show is fascinating, occasionally thoughtful, and does a good job of showing just what an absurd and unpleasant anachronism Miss World was, even fifty years ago, all without labouring the issue. Unfortunately, all the scenes with the protestors are clompingly nuance-free and simplistic (NB I am not of the target demographic for this movie, probably; your mileage may vary). Nevertheless, a very fine performance from Gugu Mbatha-Raw, an enjoyable comic turn from Rhys Ifans, and at least the glimmerings of recognition that things aren't quite as one-sided as they sometimes seem keep it watchable.
