When Harry Met Sally it has been so long since I have watched it and it is still very good (yeah I shed tears in the end)  

American Crime Story: The Assasination of Gianni Versace

American Crime Story The Assasination of Gianni Versace turned out to be more to my liking than the O.J Simpson one. The characters were more interesting, the acting better and all in all it was a good show from the beginning to the end. The way they told the story backwards worked for me and make no mistake this is actually the story of the killer, not Versace. Darren Criss did very well with the role.


Also I really liked South Beach and Ocean Drive and it felt good to watch these places. 

Kingdom

Kingdom turned out to be a great show. I'm not a fan of zombie genre (did not even watch The Walking Dead) so normally I wouldn't watch this but Joo Ji Hyun is one of the actors whose every work I try to watch. I like his facial features so much that I enjoy looking at them. Fortunately he choosed good projects and this one turned out to be very good indeed. It is zombie horror but there is political intrigue, light humour, mystery and action. There are 6 episodes on Netflix and I thought the story would end but not only it didn't end but the last episode ended on such a cliffhanger that I felt lost. Eagerly awaiting the rest of the story. 

Smokin' Aces

Smokin' Aces is a film that turned out to be a miss. But I kinda liked it better for it. They had a decent story, a team of talented actors/stars and they came up with this mediocre effor which is not even funny. But I liked it for trying and watched till the predictable end.

The internet at home is very slow and keeps getting interrupted. So these are some of the films I have downloaded ages ago. I was not able to finish one of them (a French horror comedy)

The Lathe of Heaven

The Lathe of Heaven turned out to be interesting and well written but science fiction is just not my genre. The reader was decent except while reading the female part. 

Touch of Evil

Touch of Evil I wanted to watch because I do not remember watching any film directed by Orson Wells (I know, I know) and this one did not endear me to his work. Firstly some of the Mexican parts were played by caucasian actors -most notably the lead Charlton Heston-. This was kind of distracting. I liked Janet Leigh and amazing Marlene Dietrich and the suspense filled first shots but that's about it.

Funny thing I noticed while looking this up on imdb. This film's Turkish title is Bitmeyen Balayı - translated as The Honeymoon That Doesn't End. Seriously. 

The Perfect Nanny

The Perfect Nanny ended up being a very good novel. Not a mystery but exploration of characters and their circumstances to the upcoming tragedy which is presented to us right in the beginning so there is no mystery regarding what happened and who has done it. We slowly get to know how and try to figure out why. The novel did not really agree with me but this is a problem of reader/writer connection rather than the style of prose. I'm willing to read more from this author actually.
