Daybreak 99%

Almost finished.  The killer has been revealed--the one-eyed boyfriend.  He and his friend were both in love with Hjorides (sp? Yikes! Audible).  They decided to have a "kill" contest to see which one would win her.  One-eyed loses his eye, but wins the contest.  He makes it seem as if his friend has committed suicide, then buries him. Now he's in a "game" shootout with Birrack.

The other murder of the retired father-in-law was a copycat.  Son-in-law, resentful that his father-in-law was going to spend all his money, kills him, hoping that the blame would fall on the other murderer.

Son-in-law as quirky character. Obese wife; love of gardening; all he wants to know about prison is:  Can I garden there?  Wife is taken out by four men. Good question:  how does arresting her husband and sending him to jail help anyone?

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.
