Lyrical look at America's racialised society
James Baldwin was truly an inspirational artist and author in American history. He puts forward very bluntly the issues that the country faces in terms of it's attitude towards black bodies as the body is political. It's rather depressing that after 50 years the US still has not addressed these issues. It's a haunting and poetic documentary. His line about how black people are 'castrated' throughout the country just in different ways is deeply honest and deeply disturbing.

"This is another Sunday afternoon record that I'd listen to a lot with James. In fact I think I still have the MiniDisc that has both of those records on it. I only discovered him recently, maybe ten to 12 years ago. The first song on that record, 'Mace And Grenades', is really beautiful, and when you listen to it on a Sunday afternoon it's very haunting. I don't really know what else to say about it other than it's one of my favourite records."

Man, The Bubble is a weird one. I didn't feel particularly entertained at any point, but still managed to sit through it with minimal effort. It's just kind of there. It's sort of funny, and not at the same time. I've forgotten most of it to be honest, and I watched it about 5 hours ago. It already feels dated in its subject matter. I'm really excited for the day that TikTok dies. I thoroughly enjoyed the James McAvoy cameo. I definitely feel empty inside.

After Kingsman: The Secret Service director Matthew Vaughn left X-Men: The Last Stand because of its rushed production schedule, Fox decided to bring him back to direct this reboot of the series. Things worked well overall, though the introduction of James McAvoy as Professor X did draw some criticism. Michael Fassbender’s role as young Magneto went down very well but fans still missed the original actors. The film was nicely paced but without a compelling villain, the overall script suffered.

Third outing for Rowan Atkinson's Johnny English, still just as incompetent as before in another James Bond style spoof outing.

This time, he is pulled out of retirement after a cyber attack reveals the identities of all of England's active spies, with Johnny (and his sidekick Bough, again played by Ben Miller) thus a 'low tech' solution to a high tech problem.

Rowan Atkinson does his usual rubber-faced buffoonery throughout, with a bit of glamour provided by Olga Kurylenka in a film that, while inoffensive enough, never really seems to 'catch fire'.

Second entry in Angus Donald's Holcroft Blood series (that started with Blood's Game) and, in many respects, you could be forgiven for thinking that this had a different central character.

Since the events covered in that novel, the young Holcroft Blood has grown up, and is no longer quite as naïve, perhaps, as he was before. The 'Merry Monarch' (Charles II) has also passed on, with his crown passing to his Catholic brother James II, as his Holcroft's father Colonel Thomas Blood (who attempted to steal the Crown Jewels in the previous novel).

The majority of this novel thus concerns itself with Holcroft being caught up in the events surrounding James II increasing alienation of Britain's Protestant political elite, while being hunted by a brutal French spy for his time doing the similar for Charles II in France.

I'm interested in seeing where this goes, and how Holcroft gets caught up in the later events, especially since The Battle of the Boyne (in which William, the Prince of Orange, defeats King James II) is still remembered every July 12th here in my homeland of Northern Ireland!
