Fantastic couple of days in Beirut - and the 5 hour flight allowed me to watch a few films:
Birdman - film about putting on a Broadway play - very theatrical - didn't really get it - seemed to be shot in one long take - but that made it relentless - no gaps - no time to breathe..
The Imitation Game - breaking the Enigma code - but really more of a biopic about Alan Turing - didn't like the switching between times - would have liked to know more about how the computer actually worked - what they put in what they got out - and why it took them so long to realise that if every German message ended Heil Hitler that that might be an easy (easier) way to crack the code
Nighcrawler - creepy main character spoilt an interesting film about the film crews that ambulance chase around LA
Whiplash - drumming - only able to watch half an hour before we landed - but easily the best half an hour of the flight..
