Films I watched this week (Vol 2)
Discussion
Stumbled across a film on Netflix from 2013 called -Closed Circuit starring Eric Bana about a Terrorist Attack on Borough Market and the prosecution of the perpetrator. Not sure why I haven't seen it before but it was quite enjoyable.
Today's Sky Premiere The Kindness of Strangers starring Bill Nighy about a number of people in NeybYork coming together to help each other. Although itvwas a bit slow, I really enjoyed it.

Unthinkable.
You think it will be your standard ‘find the bombs before time runs out” kind of thriller.
But it asks some really hard questions.
Good cast too.
How far would you go to save millions of people? No really, what would you be prepared to do?
9 Dilemmas out of 10.
Did you find that after watching Staged on BBC? You think it will be your standard ‘find the bombs before time runs out” kind of thriller.
But it asks some really hard questions.

Okay, not film, but Aaron Sorkin and Thomas Newman
Having watched West Wing start to finish twice, I still prefer The Newsroom (just finished a third viewing of all three seasons).
If you haven't watched, and like his material, I consider this his best work. Thomas Newman doing his usual stunning work.
You need to get over ep 1 of the first season which is a bit crap. It gets much better.
Can download via Sky, or buy from everywhere.

Almost anything is the correct answer. You think it will be your standard ‘find the bombs before time runs out” kind of thriller.

Torture, execution, allow myself to be rogered by a rugby team etc
If faced with a catastrophic nuclear threat and a suspect who knew the bombs whereabouts I think it's game on and anything goes.

you were never really here
joaquin phoenix as a suicidal ex forces / ex FBI turned mercenary who specialises in finding traficked children and inflicting brutal vengeance on their captors
its dark, and doesn't give anything away. there's a few wtf moments and the ending is weird. very brutal, really great in parts, as a whole though i'm not sure how to rate it. its different which was refreshing, but we had to watch snatch afterwards to cheer ourselves up.
i'll go with 7 hammers out of 10 heads
