FUBAR
Fancy a piece of action-comedy silliness? Schwarzenegger's Fubar is all that and with the 2nd season due soon, now's a good time to catch up.
Lolita
A beautifully written piece of literature, but an uncomfortable read. Nabokov's controversial classic has me cringing at intervals while admiring the prose.
Challengers
Luca Guadagnino's latest opus examines relationships from within the confines of tennis. And as Luca always says, in any love triangle, all points of the triangle must touch.
Blue Lights
Gritty and lined with latent tension, the BBC's Blue Lights is a Belfast-based police procedural about rookie officers in Northern Ireland. Be warned though; the accent is as tough as they are!
John Grisham thrillers
I've re-read a few of my favourite older John Grisham thrillers recently. They stand the test of time, with The Client being my favourite for fast-paced, tightly-written storylines. Which one is yours?
Back in Black
Marisa Abela stars in Back to Black, the Amy Winehouse biopic in cinemas across Prague - and does all her own singing too. What an incredible voice!
Notes on Grief
Ngozi Adichie's Notes on Grief explains how grief can be a haunting slap in the face.
Civil War
The last 80 years of postwar peace have lulled us into complacency, haven't they? What would a civil war in America look like? And would it make sense? In cinemas now
The Crown
I'm late to the party but caught up with The Crown's final season. Critics compare it to real life which misses the point. The protagonist is - always - the British crown, not the characters.
The Ascent of Money
Niall Ferguson is a prolific historian and commentator I've followed for years. His book The ascent of money is a thoughtful financial history of the world. It catalogues how and why we went from bartering chickens to today's fiat money.
