Films I loved in July 2020

Dev Patel as David Copperfield in *The Personal History of David Copperfield*

The Personal History of David Copperfield is a wildly subversive adaptation of Charles Dickens’s novel. By championing the artifice and embellishment of storytelling, it accentuates the humour and absurdity of the material to deliver funny and cutting class-based social satire.
Released in Australian cinemas 2 July 2020

Walter Mercado in *Mucho Mucho Amor: The Legend of Walter Mercado*

The documentary Mucho Mucho Amor: The Legend of Walter Mercado is a loving tribute to celebrity astrologer Walter Mercado. A larger-than-life icon for Latino audiences and beyond, his charisma and big heart are impossible to resist, making the story of his life and career a feel-good tale of triumph.
Released on Netflix 8 July 2020

Relic draws upon the tradition of exploring grief through the horror genre, resulting in a wonderfully atmospheric film that combines family drama and haunted house tropes to generate feelings of dread and sorrow. Read full review.
Released on Stan 10 July 2020

Cate Blanchett stars as Bernadette Fox in *Where’d You Go, Bernadette*

Where’d You Go, Bernadette is neither farce nor melodrama, but its social satire and heightened characters draw upon both traditions to deliver unexpected laughs and an ultimately moving drama about a woman feeling stifled by her life, developing increasingly erratic behaviour.
Released in Australian cinemas 16 July 2020

Pete Davidson as Scott Carlin and Bill Burr as Ray Bishop in *The King of Staten Island*

The King of Staten Island is the latest Judd Apatow film about a man-child needing to grow up, but this story (based loosely on lead actor Pete Davidson) about a man overcoming grief, depression and self-destructive behaviour is Apatow’s most successful blend of comedy and drama to date.
Released in Australian cinemas 16 July 2020

Eliza Scanlen as Milla Finlay in *Babyteeth*

Babyteeth may appear to tread familiar dysfunctional family/teen film terrain, but its unpredictable characters and unusual blend of whimsy and grit means the story of a chronically ill teenager is told with an immensely rewarding combination of innovation, humour and integrity.
Released in Australian cinemas 23 July 2020

Barry Keoghan as Dymphna and Cosmo Jarvis as Arm in *Calm with Horses*

Somewhere between social realism and gangster film, Calm with Horses (aka The Shadow of Violence) charts the turmoil of an ex-boxer turned thug-for-hire, wrestling with his loyalties and morality. This Irish rural noir continues the tradition of portraying damaged men trying to rise above their oppressive environments.

Common Causes of Wi-Fi Connectivity Problems

Imagine settling in for the night to watch a few episodes of your favorite binge-worthy TV show when suddenly, your streaming service stops loading, and all you can do is watch the Wi-Fi go in and out, hoping the endless buffering stops soon. You might be gritting your teeth just thinking about it — you and 7 billion other people. The demand for Wi-Fi is now global. In a study, 75% of people reported that they’d be grumpier during a week without Wi-Fi than they would during a week without coffee. In fact, 60% of the same group said they couldn’t go without Wi-Fi for even one day! When the Wi-Fi is down, our internet-dependent world quickly comes to a halt. Our emails stop loading, our virtual assistants stop responding, our tablets and laptops become useless, and our phones dip into our precious data supply. Approximately 71% of all our mobile communication occurs over wireless internet, according to Wi-Fi Alliance, and surveys say we like it that way. Wi-Fi is now the preferred me...
