The Ascent of Money

Channel 4 has brought out an interesting BBC style documentary/series covering the history of money, financial markets and evolution of economies. Was quite surprised at the sheer selection of the topics covered, even the obscure and often rarely heard of Jacob Rothchild was interviewed. All up of 6 episodes are well worth the watch...

Dr Strangelove

Thumbs up for Dr Strangelove. This is one of those rare movies that manages to be political, serious and funny all at the same time... Given the year it was released in 1964 & some of the lesser known facts it portraits [1] [2], I can only imagine how simply outright it was about the whole political context back then. I'd rate this as the 2nd best movie Kubrick directed, right after the timeless classic of 2001: A Space Odyssey.
