Movie Favorite

"Because I lived in the country during the war, I saw films for the first time in London circa 1945/1946 . . . I saw Nanook of the North and The River around this time and both left distinct images in my memory. But, in common with many other girls at the time and, indeed, ever since, I would choose The Red Shoes as my first formative film."

Sharhrukh Khan recommended The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time in Books (curated)

"Before that, I read a book called The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. I go to bookstores when I’m in London or America. I get a coffee and keep browsing for hours—something I can’t do in India. I come back home with a bagful of books. I’m always stopped at customs as they think I’m carrying some heavy electronic items!"

"It is hard to believe that this film about a nunnery in the Himalayas was filmed entirely at Pinewood Studios outside London. We are used now to entirely digital sets, but Alfred Junge’s designs and Jack Cardiff’s wonderful lighting and camera work are dazzling, the illusions spectacular. Add to this a gripping story beautifully acted and directed, despair, passion, and madness; you can’t lose."

The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated Curtain Call in Books

Oct 7, 2020

London, the summer of 1936, and things seemed to be changing at an alarming rate - not always for the better. One of the less pleasant things happening was the discovery of two women, strangled by the murderer they called the "Tie-Pin Killer" due to his gruesome skewering of their tongues.

Dean (6927 KP) rated Bulletproof - Season 2 in TV

May 3, 2020

Plenty of action (1 more)

Good plot

Better than the 1st Series

I liked the 1st Series of Bulletproof although it was a little bit short. This second series is more of the same formula but with a better plot and and 2 episodes longer. Lots of action, shootouts, car chases largely against a South East London backdrop. Not really any UK shows like this around.
