cleaningoutmycloset


after a busy period of house repairing I've been working on clearing out the large studio - stuff has got to go!!! do I really need 10 record decks, 3 full sets of encyclopedias or seed pods collected on a beach in the South of France 10 years ago...... you never know when you might need them - best to just burn some old work as a distraction.
meanwhile Rocketman is a gem of a film - clever and witty, Men in Black International attempts something - but just a bit too knowing with large weaponry and special effects seeming to get in the way of whatever it was trying to do. John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum - glorious nonsense, possibly the worst one yet - you gotta love the madness but a story of some kind would help. Shaft - Samuel Jackson chewing the set just this side of obnoxious, maybe that's the point. Skin - dark and disturbing, leading to redemption via a fractured narrative, all in a good way. The White Crow - has some wonderful scenes of Nereyev looking at paintings and the way dance is filmed is truly beautiful.  Killing Eve ended - uummh.
