The Girl with All the Gifts
Gemma Arterton
Glenn Close
Paddy Considine
20 years ago humanity was infected by a variant of the fungus Ophiocordyceps unilateralis. The infected, referred to as "hungries", quickly lose their mental powers and feed on the flesh of healthy humans. The disease spreads through blood and saliva, but can also spread through spores created by the fungus. In England, the few surviving uninfected humans either live in heavily-guarded areas such as the Beacon.
Second generation hungeries that retain their mentsl facilities are discovered and kept in a secure facility were they are experimented on to find a cure. 1 child displays a high IQ and is next to be vivisectioned but before the procedure the base is overrun forcing only 3 base personnel and the girl to escape
A great story and performances by all. I like Paddy Considine as an actor and this is probably his best. Cracking film and one for the Bluray collection
Miles Ahead.
Available on NETFLIX at the moment.
No idea how much of the film is based on fact. I knew very little about Miles Davis before watching the film and I still don't.
All I know is I need to buy 'Sketches of Spain'.
You should watch Elevator to the gallows, a French film noir whose Davis composed the music by improvising whilst watching the film

I have just finnished watching the five seasons of Ripper Street on Amazon video....a cracking watch. 10/10
I thought it got better from season three onwards but yes it did tend to meander somewhat.Enjoyed the first few seasons then thought it meandered about a little and I lost interest
