A British TV show. IMDb writes, "Young Detective Constable Anna Travis joins the team led by D.C.I. Langton to investigate a series of gruesome murders of young women, which first began eight years previously. All the victims were prostitutes and all killed in the same way. Then a seventh body is found but this is the corpse of a student, though a vital piece of evidence links her death to the others, involving a house in Manchester where Alan Daniels, a popular young actor, grew up. Anna goes undercover to get to know him better but finds herself getting emotionally involved."
Kelly Reilly is DC Travis (Mary from Sherlock Holmes). Ciaran Hinds is DCI Langton (Road to Perdition). It is different than most crime shows. The killer/actor is really good - the end is super creepy. All in all, I say: RENT IT.

Everything or Nothing: The Untold Story of 007
This documentary starts with the producers of the Bond films before they met, and then continues until present day. It is very interesting to get the story behind the scenes. There is a lot of great footage. All in all, I say: SEE IT if you like Bonds films.

Promised Land
IMDb writes, "A salesman for a natural gas company experiences life-changing events after arriving in a small town, where his corporation wants to tap into the available resources." Written by Matt Damon (Bourne Identity) and Jon Krasinski (The Office). It is light even for a sort of environmentalist movie. Damon is the salesman who works with Frances McDormand (Fargo). Hal Holbrook (That Evening Sun) is one of the farmers in the small town.. During a town meeting he stands up against natural gas and the technique of fracking. Little does Damon know Holbrook's character has a degree from MIT and once did R&D for Dow. Damon's character realizes he has a problem on his hands - it won't be an easy town to convince. Krasinski plays a would be environmentalist -there is twist toward the end that I didn't see coming. The handsome Titus Welliver has a small but memorable part - I miss him and his character in Deadwood.
All in all, I say: RENT IT. There is no need to see it in theatres, but it is good.
Melton's App & Tapp
Located in Decatur - this is a great local place. They have obviously a ton of beer on tap. They have a lot of televisions for watching games which are always on. The service is friendly. The cheese puffs are my favorite. I also like their chicken finger sandwich. They have waffle fries and delicious ice tea. Want to try something new - drive down 78 west and when you get to North Decatur Road turn right into the parking lot. Can't miss the green sign. All in all, I say: TRY IT
Claude's Off the Bayou
A restaurant located in Loganville. It has alligator, jambalaya, fried pickles, country fried steak, red beans & rice, and so much more. They are very friendly and the service is good. I have never seen the place busy. Having eaten there twice, I would have to say it is delicious. The kids enjoyed it too. All in all, I say: TRY IT
Africa's Elephant Kingdom
Originally filmed in 1998, this film was showing at the IMAX theatre at Fernbank, IMDb writes, "This film explores an elephant clan's search for food and water as seen through the eyes of one old bull." Avery Brooks from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine narrates. None of the main characters die. All in all, I say: SEE IT
Annika Bengtzon: Crime Reporter
This is a Swedish series - it is six 2 hour films in season one. Annika is a reporter for a newspaper in Stockholm, and in every movie she catches on to something fishy. She is able to go way beyond other reports to uncover all sorts of conspiracies. Her biggest problem though is her personal life. Even though she has been living with the father of her children for about eight years, the second they get married he cheats on her. The only thing I can think of is perhaps the producers wanted her to have liaisons so they made him out to be the bad guy. In the last movie there is a very sexy cop! The series is top notch. All in all, I say: STREAM IT on Netflix - it does have subtitles.
