First Lines: John Le Carré - The Night Manager
On a snow-swept January evening of 1991, Jonathan Pine, the English night manager of the Hotel Meister Palace in Zurich, forsook his office behind the reception desk and, in the grip of feelings he had not known before, took up his position in the lobby as a prelude to extending his hotel's welcome to a distinguished late arrival.

A Quiet Place (2018)
In a post-apocalyptic world, a family is forced to live in silence while hiding from monsters with ultra-sensitive hearing.
Above-average horror drama pulling through its unusual premise (survival by silence) with competence and ease.
ReMastered: Tricky Dick and the Man in Black (2018)
Concerned by a rising rock-n-roll influence on a growing liberal fanbase, President Nixon invited Johnny Cash to the White House to solidify his base in the traditionally more conservative genre of country music.
A singular historic episode is competently analyzed within the times' contact and biographical details and gives a good impression of the artist's personality - and his courageousness and integrity.

Bone Tomahawk (2015)
In the dying days of the old west, an elderly sheriff and his posse set out to rescue their town's doctor from cannibalistic cave dwellers.
Unusual Western is extremely well directed and photographed and has an excellent cast, but hardly prepares one for the gory end sequence.
