I've been watching a lot of Walter Presents on Channel 4. I usually like most of the stuff - it's well chosen. The last thing I watched was The Mafia Only Kills in Summer. I had to stop watching it, simply because the subject matter was so unpleasant. Otherwise it was fairly well made and acted. I watched Broadchurch but the last episode was disappointing. David Tennant and Olivia Coleman, however, are real stars. I've been trying to cheer myself up with the old Hollywood stuff - Fred Astaire musicals and the like. They're always good. American cinema was so much better in the golden age. I never watch action movies - total waste of time for someone who has no interest in video games. I like French narrative movies a lot - guys like Eric Rohmer and Alain Tanner. Plus Polanski, Werner Herzog and several other Europeans. And some of the US fringe stuff like Jarmusch I like. One girlfriend used to joke that I only watched films with subtitles.
