The concept is great, the execution... it's pretty much the Signs of its time.

I kept getting distracted by the "case scenarios". The minority report scenario was used to Clancey's "Sum of All Fears".

Official Secrets  10/10



I'm not sure if this played in theaters.  It was just released on DVD, so it's probably being streamed.  I got it from Redbox.  Tony Blair colluded with the Bush Administration to take Britain to war in Iraq, based on Bush's fake intelligence.  A woman working for a British intelligence agency intercepted a memo documenting the false propaganda being put out by the US Government, and also used in Britain.  She leaked it to the Observer, and created a shit storm.  This is an aspect of the deception I was not familiar with because it didn't make it to the American media.  Maybe it did, but if so, I missed it.  Not knowing how this played out, the film kept me on the edge of my seat.  I just finished the movie 10 minutes ago, and I'm still experiencing an intense visceral reaction.

PM Tony Blair is even more hated in GB than President George W Bush is hated in the US.  Perfidious Britain taught the US well.

This could be an interesting movie, depending how the premise goes. Is it purely about helping three psychologically torn men regaining their sanity, or will it becomes a religious message by the end?

What, no cross reference to Last Temptation Of Christ?  Everything is mental, including messiahs.  But atheists only believe in superior technology from the Gamma Quadrant.  That is their psychosomatic crutch.  That aliens will come and turn the election to Corbyn or Hillary.

Given the trailer, it probably will have some softball "spirit of the human soul" bs.

I saw Shawshank Redemption again - 10/10

Truly a masterpiece.

Let me throw Fried Green Tomatoes at you---I loved it 11/10.  And I like it that much each time I see it.  The story, writing and acting is what I hope to see in every movie I watch, but seldom get.

Knives Out 7/10
Not a big fan of Murder She Wrote or Homes and Watson.  I can never see the clues, and when they are explained I still puzzle to understand them, but it's fun to watch the theatrical flamboyance of the genius detective in such murder mysteries who amazes everyone in the story with his keen sense of observation as you wait for the final 10 minutes of the film where he announces, "So you see, Mr. Green, it had to be you!"  Daniel Craig did it pretty well, although I'm not sure he was the best choice of character.
