Knives Out

 

Well I enjoyed this  It is a while since I have seen a murder mystery on film

What a great cast!

Ana de Armas, Katherine Langford, Don Johnson, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Daniel Craig. Max Von Sndow and Michael Shannon.  Some of my favourite actors there. 

So there is a death in the family, and a will to be read 

It has been too long since we have heard the phrase a gentleman sleuth. Sadly people have read about Blanc in The New Yorker rather then the Times. I was also pleased by Craig's accent. He seemed to be having fun in the role. Which is nice  I liked the fact the script is aware that recordings on mobile phones are commonplace

Ana de Armas is radiant l. I do love Katherine Langford too-There is a nice scene of Katherine being coached and prompted by her relatives to guilt Maribel 

Chris Evans was great as the spoiled son. Radiating menace. I can see why he chose this film After Avengers finished It does show off his range The language and manners are well observed. 

Some snappy dialogue- and very well observed tropes. The argument about politics. The Americans never quite agreeing on where Ana's Maribel is from.  The flaky in-law - Who is now an Influencer who is not making any real money from her brand. 

I see an American eating beans and sausage

I was pleased I noticed that the dose of Morphine was too high- which confused me but it paid off

Beautiful scenery. New England in the fall. A nice big house. 

I enjoyed this- I am looking forward to seeing the sequel

Song for today ``There’s gotta be more…’’

I am borrowing this content for a moment. Yes I am aware I have a child’s musical taste http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUOcQnWbk_U&feature=related I used to catch this song,on one of the music channels, a few years ago.  I liked it. Its a nice enough song.  Stacey O, is a sweet young lady. Who tired of the music business and became a volunteer in Africa. I have been listening to it all day today. I downloaded if from Amazon. It catches a moment in adolescence when, you start working, and its mopping floors, or loading books onto barrows. You go to college and its waiting around all day for three hours of lectures, eating instant noodles, and maybe watching Star trek, or the Simpsons  and going to bed. So you go to the club on the weekend. You go to the underwear party. You get drunk, but that’s it isn’t it

Malchera in High school

Will from the in-betweeners, with bad skin, look at the area arround my left eye. I have just had a bout of conjuctiveitis. That and my half smile, to conceal my cracked incisor and dirty teeth... I don't know why I actually possess this picture. School Photographs, now there is racket. They take you out of class, and take your picture, and charge you for the picture. Anyway, my mother never paid for the school photographer. She had 4 children in the same school,  and paying for 4 photographs, would not have been cheap. I do remember the day though. Before me, the busty Kelly Panei, had gone first. The photographer had made a crack about beauty and the beast, so I knocked over his stand on the way out... But for years after, this was my mental image of myself...
