Sweet Country
Set early in the 20th century an Australian 'western'. A story of racism, intolerance, law and lawlessness. Well known stars include Sam Neill and Bryan Brown. Worth watching but not for the children.

Both Sweet Country and Tommys Honour are good in their different ways. Tommy's Honour is very Scottish, as the subject matter demands. Sean Connery's son Jason directed it. Sweet Country has violence and the panoramic rugged, rugged Aussie desert landscapes. One is based on historical record. The other is fiction not far removed from the mood of the times.Looks/sounds interesting Theo.
"Performance" (1970) Mick Jagger, Anita Pallenberg, James Fox
British crime drama, in which gangster Chas (Fox) goes on the run after doing an unauthorized hit. He ends up at a rooming house run by burned-out rock star Turner (Jagger), who only rents to bohemian types. Turner lives an open sexual relationship with two beautiful women, and also cultivates psilocybin `shrooms in his garden, and feeds them to his tenants.
After dosing Chas with the drug, they perform a "transformation" ritual for him.
This is quite a bizarre (and intriguing) little film, with a slammin` soundtrack....
That is not Keith Richards but Ry Cooder on slide. Cooder was on Sister Morphine as well.

And here I'd long thought it was Mick Taylor, a well-regarded (and rightfully so) slide geetarist in his own right.
I'll have to assume our @KeninDC was already aware of this Cooder business @ Sticky Fingers?
Cooder's slide bores into the left side of your brain. Great cut.Yes, as noted above, Cooder played the slide on "Memo from Turner" and performed that amazing slide lesson in open G tuning on "Sister Morphine." Also heavily reverbed on "Morphine" was Jack Nitzsche on piano. Makes the song.

The story of a team of female African-American mathematicians who served a vital role in NASA during the early years of the U.S. space program. - IMDb
Pretty good movie. Enjoyed it very much.
I find nothing more boring than crazy rich people of any colour.Crazy Rich Asians
Didn't care for it because it was chock-full of cliche´s and only had a couple of funny scenes. I've seen that same movie so many times over the years and the only difference were the actors.
I'd say more but I don't want to spoil it for anyone who plans on seeing it.
