Film Review: The Midnight Sky

I enjoyed this a lot. A great piece of cinema, great cast, performances, and what an interesting score. Is the storyline great, meh, not so much. There are massive plot holes that make the story implausible, but the emotional journey still resonates. George Clooney directed and starred, and he was fantastic at both. 8.0/10.0

Film Review: Death to 2020

Sad and hilarious in equal measure. Great performances, but a world in chaos. We are doomed. When Aliens find the ruins of our civilisation in a 1000 years they will assume this is a documentary, and they won’t be far off. 9.0/10.0

Film Review: Coffee and Kareem

Nothing surprising in this one, but entertaining nonetheless. Ed Helms and Betty Gilpin give good performances, and there were a good few laughs. 7.0/10.0

Film Review: Last Christmas

A feel-good film, a little bittersweet, but I enjoyed it. Emilia Clarke is great, as is Henry Golding. Ignore the other reviews, and give this a go. You won’t regret it. 8.0/10.0

Film Review: The Christmas Chronicles 2

Not as good as the first one, but still great. Snake Plissken makes a great father Christmas once again, and Private Benjamin a decent Mrs Claus. A smiling 8.0/10.0

Film Review: The Christmas Chronicles

What a great, feel-good movie! Kurt Russel is inspired casting, and the other cast members do a great job also. A well deserved 8.5/10.0

Film Review: Animal House

I first watched this film the mid-1980s. Teenager-me thought it was really funny, and I watched it again with a certain nervousness to see if it had aged well, and if it was still funny. The good news is I think it has! It is definitely of its time: misogynistic, questionable racial sterotypes etc., but there is a kindness and...

Film Review: Train To Busan: Peninsula

What a shadow of the first one. A cliche-ridden, pale imitation of the majesty of the original, that goes short on the amazing zombie set-pieces, and long on terrible special effects and hammy, 1980s long stares at the camera and schlock hero death scenes. What a stinker. Barely 2.0/10.0

Film Review: Holidate

Another Netflix special. Nothing too surprising here, fairly standard stuff. We have seen all this before, but that said, it is done well, and has a few laughs, a few smiles, and a few feels. I enjoyed it, but there are better movies in this genre. 7.0/10.0

Film Review: Peppermint

A cracking action movie starring Jennifer Garner. Pretty standard thriller fare this, but I enjoyed it. Hopefully there will be a sequel. 7.5/10.0
