Midnight Bright Ideas

Two plots converge. Joey, the suicide, knew Lydia's father when Dad was a prison guard.  Dad shared photos of Lydia with Joey.  Joey also was seeking his biological parents.

Lydia discovers that the lead detective in Hammer Man case believes her father is the murderer, and he has good reasons.  Lydia is contacted by dad. She feels a push pull. She wants info from Dad but she is repelled by him.

Turns out David, Lydia's boyfriend, has known about Lydia's past for years and has been talking to Dad without Lydia's knowledge.

Exciting!

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.
