TV

Outcasts
1x07 Episode 7
That was actually quite good. Still marred by myriad niggles, but better than most of the series. Too little too late, mind.
The last episode was on tonight. I read it doesn't contain all the answers, mainly because the makers hoped they'd get another series. Oh well.

South Riding
Part 3 (of 3)
Well that turned out surprisingly grim...

this week on 100 Films

Back to just 1 new review being posted on 100 Films in a Year again this week...

Melinda and Melinda (2004)
If it wasn’t for the framing device that clearly tells us not only the thematic point of the film but also which bit is the comedy and which the tragedy, I don’t think it would be immediately possible to tell which was which. Indeed, one might think that was Allen’s point: life is neither tragedy nor comedy, but both at the same time, so of course you can’t tell the difference.

More (hopefully, more than one) next Sunday.
