The most popular series on AROUND AND AROUND is “Reviled! The Albums Critics Love To Hate.” The latest addition is BORN AGAIN by Randy Newman from 1979. I was particularly interested in reviewing Randy Newman as to whether we are now in a world which cannot accept irony.

Back to the 60s Retrospective series with a credible 1961 British attempt at film noir, THE FRIGHTENED CITY. It features a pre-Bond Sean Connery, with Herbert Lom, Alfred Marks, John Gregson and Yvonne Romain. It’s just been reissued on Blu-ray and Amazon Prime. Worth watching. The scene on the poster never appears.

NOMADLAND (LINK TO MY REVIEW) got Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director for Chloé Zhao, and Best Actress for Frances McDormand. Highly innovative, it blurs the line between fiction and non-fiction, and between actors and participants in a documentary. My thoughts are in the review. The comments box is open. There is much to say about it!
