What I watched in August.

Some interesting watches this month including the totally '90's technological "killer's in the computer" thriller Ghost in the Machine. If you thought it was just the name of a great Police album, you thought wrong! With all the cyber attacks and Russian hacks lately, it definitely resonates. As does the rabbit-hole fever dream of  A Glitch in the Matrix, a gonzo documentary from Room 237 director Rodney Ascher, where this time he's indulging of bunch redditors debating whether or not we live in a simulation.  Steven Soderbergh's Detroit set caper No Sudden Move is one of the better "new" movies I've seen all year. I can't say the same for Black Widow, despite a good opening and strong performances, especially from Florence Pugh (Midsommar) and David Harbour (Stranger Things). The better kick-ass chick flick of 2021 is Gunpowder Milkshake on Netflix.  TCM's Friday Night Neo-Noir series hosted by Eddie Muller and Ben Mankiewicz was exc

What I watched in June.

TCM will be airing the ultra rare Ryan O'Neal caper The Thief Who Came to Dinner this Friday afternoon June 25th (2pm EST). 

Perhaps my favorite musical discovery of the year has been browsing Qobuz for new and classic albums with the gold "HiRes" signifier.
