Old review โ M Night Shyamalanโs fast-ageing beach horror is top notch hokum ๐ฅ ๐
Old is a bit like Alex Garlandโs The Beach, but with a dab of Twilight Zone creepiness and an ensemble cast that Agatha Christie might have imagined. Most of all, I found myself thinking that this could have come from the original series of Star Trek โ and that at any moment, William Shatner might beam down among the panicky, deteriorating beach-dwellers, phaser at the ready. Sadly for them, however, these existentially stricken vacationers are on their own.

Justine, 1969 - โ โ โ โ
Donโt view with the expectation that the film will fairly represent the books of the Alexandria Quartet. Mixed up and confused, but recognisable characters, scenes and lines from Durrellโs work. Missing and distorting so much but I did enjoy the experience - not nearly as bad as some reviews suggest!
The film is visually impressive (in parts excessive in a late 1960s way) and quite atmospheric. The performances of Dirk Bogarde, Michael York, Anouk Aimรฉe, Anna Karina and others are worth seeing.
On the negative side the quality of the DVD transfer I watched was terrible ๐

Kangaroo, 1986 - โ โ โ ยฝ
Interesting enough. A little slow paced, not hugely charismatic performances (and Colin Frielsโ accent is weird!), but it did bring back recollections of the novel. Portrayal of post-WW1 Australian populist fascism seems too familiar to current times to be entirely comfortable - does it never go away?

Very dark. Very dramatic. Not what I expected - better than that. Unusually I wish Iโd read a synopsis of the plot before I watched the film - I think I would have enjoyed this vision of the tale more if I had done so. And I say that having read the poem previously. Be warned!

Coma, 2019 - โ โ ยฝ
Average random sci-fi movie pick on Amazon Prime. A video game of a film, visually quite impressive with a few interesting ideas. It did hold most of my attention and wasnโt a complete waste of an hour and a half or so ๐ย
I would rather have watched it subtitled than dubbed - wasnโt keen on some of the voices and modern American phrasing that didnโt seem to fit well to the characters, but I suppose it could accurately reflect the Russian original; Iโll never know.

The Great NHS Heist, a documentary film that I supported on GoFundMe, is being released online on 30th November.
The Great NHS Heist is a powerful account of how the nationโs proudest achievement, the National Health Service, has been fundamentally reshaped and undermined by successive governments in preparation for privatisation. The evidence of the heist is presented with a stark warning of the risks ahead through interviews with health care professionals, patients and experts in England and America.
A trailer is also available on YouTube.
