MONDAY MUSINGS: SEE YA AT THE MOVIES

One thing is for certain, we're not going to a movie theatre anytime soon so thank goodness for NetFlix.  For some reason we are on a streak here in the End of the Rainbow Valley on 'dark' themed movies and miniseries  the last couple of weeks and here are some recommendations in the order of preference with brief synopses... 

The Professor and the Madman: Compilation of mid 19th C first Oxford dictionary by a Professor Murray (Mel Gibson) and a patient at Broadmoor Criminal Lunatic Asylum, Dr. William Minor ( Sean Penn), who submits 10,000 entries 

Ma Rainey's Black Bottom: August Wilson's Story of Ma Rainey ( Viola Davis), a true Blues legend, her Chicago recording with her band and fall out with her young trumpeter Levee ( Chadwick Boseman, yes, his last role before his death). 

Manhunt: The Deadly Games chronicling the manhunt of the '96 Olympic Game bombing's hero Richard Jewel who discovers the bomb saving 100s, loses hero status by being accused as the bomber. Is he falsely accused by the press and the FBI/ does he have an accomplice? Manhunt: The Deadly Game (youtube trailer)

Manhunt: Unabomber , a true story of the FBI hunting down of the Unabomber, a serial bomber and the agent who uses forensic linguistics to profile and capture him. 

Mindhunter:  FBI hostage mediator 'Holden  joins veteran agent Tench to learn and identify a new breed of murderers by interviewing famous serial killers. The FBI is less than pleased with their tactics.

Blacklist : If I had known there were 8 seasons of these assassins, I'm not so sure I would have  started watching them because now I'm addicted...

AVA, (Jessica Chastain) a high end assassin has problems when a murder goes wrong... a lot of action and adventure. AVA youtube trailer

One thing for sure is one can't complain there's nothing to watch.  I didn't even mention the real trash besides reading a couple books. Another musing, for another week... 

Something lighter tonight as PROM is on our date card.
