Review of "Diego Maradona"

Despite not really being interested in the subject this was very engrossing and entertaining. The story of Napoli's rise with Maradona on board, the real story of Mexico 92, and much more made for engrossing and entertaining viewing. And even I can see that he was a genius on the pitch.

Review of "BlacKkKlansman"

Such an unlikely premise it rather undermines itself as the suspension of disbelief required stretches crdulity to breaking point. On the other hand maybe racial bigots really as as all round stupid as portrayed here.
