Films at the cinema: Inherent Vice was good and quite an unusual film to see these days, so set in its shaggy hippy era. Kingsman was fun. I missed Duke of Burgundy due *ACHOO* to loud *COUGH COUGH* and quiet *sniffsniffsniff* insuppressible noises which was a shame.

Other films were largely low-hassle lurgied-watching fare. Recommend We Are The Best! 80s Swedish girl punk band/teenage friendship/coming of age story.
Parents was a big favourite of mine in the early 90s, kitschy 50s family with odd son, trying hard to fit in with neighbours, comedy slides into horror. I have not watched it in 10 years and was pleased that it still stood up - and I saw a lot more in it now, childhood imagination, just where the line falls between solicitous and threatening and how it might feel when a family member chooses to cross that line in a way that only the child can see. Great cuts and angles, I have never seen a sandwich look so ominous.
