Basically a documentary about Dr Dre and Jimmy Iovine and their respective careers in the music industry. Bit of a glossy affair, but interesting four parter. Lots of famous talking heads chipping in.
I've never heard of them and Google didn't make it any clearer.
Give it a go. Quite watchable.

Dr.Sleep. (sequel to The Shining)

I enjoyed the book,but as with a lot of Steven King stories,the flick is a let down. Not Ewan McGregor's finest hour.

Said it once, I'll say again. Arrival, on Netflix. A most rare movie in that it's Sci-fi, but intelligent.

One of my favourite films.

Have you read the collection of short stories it's taken from? Unhelpfully I cannot remember a single detail about the author :D They're all "alternative science" type stores - mostly wondering about what would happen if various religious phenomena were objectively real.

'The story of your life' or something like that?

Nope. Got a few books queued on my Kindle but might check that one out.

Yeah that rings a bell.

I read it cause I liked the look of the film when it first came out, but CBA going to the cinema to see it. The book it is based on was a couple of quid on Kindle so I bought that instead.

I've seen the film now BTW, it is good but it feels like a short story stretched into a film. Once you know the ending of course its a bit less special.
