An American Werewolf in LondonYear: 1981

The Last Juror by John Grisham
Flags of Our FathersDirected by Clint Eastwood
Year: 2006
Very realistic and impressive story regarding the attack of Iwo Jima.
Sometimes a bit confusing, with all the soldiers’ names, and the camera that moves so fast.
If feels as if this is a true representation of what went on during that battle.
Part of two films regarding the war: the other one is Letters from Iwo Jima, with the Japanese perspective.
Playmates by Robert B. Parker
Good Spenser story, involving baseball and gambling.
The one before that was Small Vices by Robert B. Parker

Beneath the Skin
Based on a novel by Nicci French
Year: 2005

(leading title page: “a talking film!”)
Interesting story. A conflict between an aristocratic family and their country estate, and an entrepeneur who wants to buy land in the area for factories. The atmosphere turns nasty, then disasterous.
Bit too slow for the modern day viewer.

She makes her illustrations with her sewing machine!
Cool.
P.s. No don’t look at the pie, 
look behind it!

“I wanted to see you,” she said, and shifted a little in her chair and crossed her legs the other way. Which displayed a fair amount of thigh.
I observed closely. You never knew when a clue might present itself.
