Calibre
Calibre is an extremely taut and tense film set in a remote village in the Scottish Highlands. At the first major scene I wondered whether I would be up to dealing with the shocking development, but my motto is “it’s only dots on a screen”, so I stuck with it and I’m glad I did. A terrific, tense thriller, though not suitable for all.
I viewed this on Netflix using my free, 1-month, introductory offer. Thank you Netflix.

Occasionally the sun was out and the sky blue on this mid-morning, New Year’s Day walk on Epsom Downs, though this isn’t apparent from these black and white images.

Hand luggage
This was in my son’s hand luggage on his flight from Berlin for his Christmas visit. Hopefully he’ll still find time to fit in the traditional carrom and table tennis challenges. (more…) -
With the Christmas shopping done…

Cold War
We watched the 2018 award-winning Polish film, Cold War, via Curzon Home Cinema, a first for us. Shot in black-and-white, it’s a visually stunning love story inspired by the director’s own parents. It looks and sounds great and well worth a viewing.

My small but not so smart phone
My phone It’s small; it’s not smart; there’s no Internet constantly pinging notifications; no one’s going to steal it; it was cheap; it’s a social embarrassment; there’s no Internet to look up mapping, bus / train times; it’s not big.

Waiting for time to pass
If you balance the camera on a wall to take a night-time picture with an exposure of 4 seconds, it’s imperative you wait for the 4 seconds to elapse!
