Today’s number one film:

Locke (Steven Knight/ 2013/ Drama-Thriller/ UK-USA/ 85 mins/ R for language throughout) 10.05am MaxPrime. Watch this if you liked Unfriended, Snowpiercer or the original Michael Caine/Laurence Olivier Sleuth. The best film comparison to represent Steven “Eastern Promises” Knight’s wonderful, and wonderfully tense, film is probably 12 ...

Still reeling from the Brexit, like the rest of the world – apart from the few million English & Welsh people who voted for it – and I find myself hoping that my thinking is a bit muddled, like how you just can’t do a cryptic crossword or watch The Usual Suspects if you have a head cold.

Because, if I’m not muddled, it’s becoming clearer and clearer that there is a right wing tide (packaged as concern for one’s own safety) that is rising fast enough to float the presidency of the Drumpf.

THE WHOLE world fervently followed yesterday’s referendum that decided whether Britain left or remained in the European Union, because Brexit has truly global ramifications; but, of all seven billion of us, it will potentially hit me hardest since I’ve decided that, if Britain left Europe yesterday, I’m leaving the English-speaking Caribbean today. (Don’t get your hopes up, politicians and pastors, BC-Exit won’t be by suicide, but by cutting every firetrucking body else off.)

Had it only screened even an hour earlier, today’s top pick would surely have been White God (11.05pm, FoxCin) one of the most imaginative – and amazingly shot – films of the last 30 years. It dips to near-collapse in the last reel but, up to then, even the most jaded cinefile ought to be captivated; if you aren’t blown away by the opening scene, though, don’t bother; it’s that kind of film.

Late in the week, Sunday programming for most movie channels had not yet been released but the available choice was still good enough to toss up half-a-dozen films with not a lot separating them for the top spot.

Today’s number one film:

THE AMERICAN right was in a quandary last Friday, after the murder of 49 people in the LGBT nightclub, Pulse, in Florida: yes, it was numerically the worst slaughter yet in God-fearing, gun-loving America – but, then, only one heterosexual was killed, the murderer himself (possibly: his frequenting of Pulse prior to his crimes suggests he might have preferred to come out shooting than of the closet)
