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.

Wasn't that atonement?

Haha I’m looking forward to the 427th one when it comes out

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 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.
