Finally finished #thehack David Tennant was very good as was Robert Carlyle, well written, clever cameos and direction but ultimately no real conclusion because that's exactly what has happened, in the end did much change with press?

Also watched this week #theperfectneighbor a documentary with no commentary, mainly made up of Police bodycam footage. Watched with my wife and we certainly had different views on the outcome, recommend watch.

On to #ahouseofdynamite which really liked, tense, split into three sections, yes the ending will upset many but for me it all fitted in well. Big fan of Kathryn Bigelow films and this up there as one of her best.

While away finally after a couple of false starts finally did a double bill binge of #Dune 1 & 2. Epic filmmaking and visually brilliant. Distilled a complex story into quite a simple arc and with plans for a third this exceeded my expectations
