7th Canon--85%

Complicated plot--spoilers follow

Connor (bad cop) has arranged for the filming of sex tapes of Ramsey (ambitious politician).  He kills street runaway boys to get control of the tapes, then blackmails Ramsey.

Donley, our good attorney, figures this out. Knows Father Tom is innocent and that Connor is guilty.  Breaks into Connor's house to get the tapes back and thereby exonerate Father Tom. Problem--Connor figures it out and puts a gun to Donley's head.  major problem

Frank Ross, detective, was helped by Donley's uncle when he (drunk after his son was abducted) smashed into a car and injured a family.  Ross helps Donley because he likes Donley's uncle, the lawyer who has heart attack early on in the book.

Finish tomorrow.

Netflix Lincoln Lawyer

 Just a long yawner.  Acting was fine; there just wasn't nearly enough plot to carry 10 episodes.  Tech guy accused of killing wife.  LL takes on the case after the tech lawyer's first lawyer is murdered.  Mickey Haller gets the guy off . . . trick is the guy is guilty.  He used a drone to dispose of bloody clothes.  Subplot Maggy McFierce trying to get a conviction of a human trafficker.  She loses but then wins.  The divorced couple almost gets back together, but they are on opposite sides of the adversarial process and work comes first.  Won't be in a hurry to watch Season 2

Live and Let Die

 The Fleming book, flawed by 50's racism, moves along in plot and character.  Fleming is an excellent writer--great descriptive powers and pacing. The movie has no redeeming qualities.  All that's left from the book is the racism, and in the book you can feel Fleming's doubts about his racist scenes slipping in.  In the movie (made years later), the racism is incredible.  1972.  Those who say no progress has been made should watch this.  Impossible to imagine this film being made today.
