-
The Trip, 2021 Watched: Dec 21 Thriller
Cracking. The sheer novelty of difference sounds and cadences also put the icing on the cake for me.
-
Black Christmas, 1974 Watched: Dec 15 Horror
Not really my thing - Might be a 70s thing that the most sympathetic character was the put upon police lieutenant.
-
Wrath of Man, 2021 Watched: Dec 11 Action
Jason Statham in a film with classy pretentions complete with the now ubiquitous ominous long bow sound track that everyone goes for. Soft sport for Holt Mcallany.
-
ZZ Top: That Little Ol' Band From Texas, 2019 Watched: Dec 9 Documentary
-
The Lighthouse, 2019 Watched: Dec 5 Drama
Intense. Bonkers. Impressive. and that's just Willem Dafoe.
-
White Boy, 2017 Watched: Dec 1 Documentary
A real head shaker on how so many people were in on screwing this guy.
-
Ronnie Coleman: The King, 2018 Watched: Nov 29 Documentary
Pretty standard no real drama and a bit long, but Ronnie comes over as a lovely guy and you wish him well.

-
Portrait of a Lady on Fire, 2019 Watched: Nov 9 Drama
-
The Harder They Fall, 2021 Watched: Nov 6 Western
Difficult to see how this could go wrong with such a great cast, and Regina King was the star for me.
-
Inside Job, 2010 Watched: Nov 3 Documentary
Steal money, use that money to buy influence to make stealing money in that particular way legal. Keep money.
-
Prince of Darkness, 1987 Watched: Oct 31 Horror
Once I got past some of the distractingly average effects - which I'm sure weren't state of the art, even in 1987, it was pretty enjoyable. I can't help thinking a toe up the arse rather than a rugby tackle would've done the trick.
-
Castles in the Sky, Watched: Oct 28 History
Like that Eddie Izzard looks like Herr Flick in the poster.
-
The Crime of the Century, 2021 Watched: Oct 25 Documentary
How do these people sleep at night? Mind- blowing.
-
Girl, Interrupted , 1999 Watched: Oct 24 Drama
-
The Witch, Watched: Oct 23 Horror
Atmospheric, compelling and thoughtful.
-
The Killers, 1946 Watched: Oct 21 Crime
What a noir should be all about. Burt Lancaster has some subtlety - not something you'd normally associate with him - we rarely see 'the Grin' here.
-
The Guilty, 2021 Watched: Oct 16 Drama
“Broken people save broken people” ooof. Loses a star right there- and it doesn't have many to play with.
-
The Guilty, 2018 Watched: Oct 16 Drama
I had to watch this before I watched the remake, so now am intrigued how they'll compare.
-
Thief, 1981 Watched: Oct 11 Crime
James Caan building on his rep. Want a edgy, cool and nihilistic lead? He was your guy. Special mention for the music, until it went all power ballad at the end. and big shout out to the 80s version of aviators that everyone seemed to wear - smoky tints and all.
-
Malcolm X, 1992 Watched: Oct 3 Biopic
So much to admire here. What surprised me what the verve that it started with, going beyond a by the numbers bio pic.
-
1917, 2019 Watched: Sep 27 War
Wears it's war movie tropes lightly, which is hard to do.
-
Destroyer, 2018 Watched: Sep 25 Crime
Big fan of Nicole Kidman, and she's strong enough to carry it but there were a few too many times where it dragged especially when it seemed like the momentum was picking up.
-
I Remember You, 2017 Watched: Sep 23 Horror
the spectacular Icelandic scenery provides some ready made aura. Throw in some ethereal Nordic vibes and this was good.
-
Come to Daddy, 2019 Watched: Sep 21 Comedy
Well I wasn't expecting that.
-
On the Basis of Sex, 2018 Watched: Sep 19 Biopic
Standard legal procedural. Complete with sweeping orchestra at all the rights bits, and the inspirational clinching argument. But well executed. Nice easy Sunday night watch.
