Movie Rating
Bafflingly impenetrable crime drama. A young woman is found dead from a gunshot wound; assigned to the case is veteran homicide detective Mike Hoolihan (Clarkson) who finds it opens up many unanswered questions from her own past, raising many demons.

Sounds fairly straightforward, but film's many strange pretensions - discussion of quantum theory, astrophysics - and dourly humourless tone make it intensely hard work. Why does title not include word 'the'? It's a mystery. Why does this review not include word 'the'? Well, you've got to do something for entertainment, and this film certainly doesn't fit bill. Feels weirdly incompetent on many levels.

Darkest Hour: How Churchill Brought England Back from the Brink

Book Rating
The prize-winning screen writer of the film 'The Theory of everything' has penned a wonderful insight into the life of Winston Spencer Churchill. This narrative examines his rise during one of the most crucial periods of World War II. It relives the conversations between Britain's most powerful men, revealed through their private diary excerpts. Through these intensely researched accounts of the time, McCarten skilfully conveys a very rounded and human account of Churchill. He cleverly shows how a man full of self-doubt transformed himself into the iconic figure that led the country to victory.
