On Netflix 'Da 5 Bloods'

It's out on Netflix and trending really because it's Directed by Spike Lee. A story about 5 Vietnam vets who return to find their fallen friend but also, some treasure...

However, woven into that is Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Black lives matter and a general story about black history (given that a huge proportion of black soldiers were sent to Vietnam, 33%).

It had a huge budget but being honest, you need to be in the mood to watch it because it meanders too much, we think anyway. One to watch but not one to plan a movie night around. Interesting but that's really it....in our view. 

One coming to watch - June 22nd 'Perry Mason'.

One to watch out for....a new remake of 'Perry Mason' starts June 22nd on Sky Atlantic. 8 episodes. 

The role was made famous by Raymond Burr but this time it's the excellent Matthew Rhys (from the 'Americans' and if you haven't seen that series, just do it now). Robert Downey was originally cast in the role but dropped out.

Set in 1932, Perry Mason is a down and out defense attorney but gets hired on a child kidnapping case....need we say more.
