Black Mirror: Entire History of You

Entire History of You involves a chip implanted that records all actions during the day.  People can rewind encounters to look for things they might have missed the first time and to confirm/deny memories.

Main character has a lousy job interview. . . goes to party where he sees his wife talking easily with another man . . . jealousy . . . correct . . . wife has had an affair with the man . . . MC, drunk, goes to the man's house and nearly kills him.  He demands the man erase all recordings of his wife.  Man does.  MC returns home . . . still green monster . . . confronts wife . . .

The chip is ruining his life.  He takes a razor and cuts it out of his neck.  Too late? Hard to tell

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.
