Film Review: Thunder Force

A fun romp, as always a great performance from Mellisa Macarthy. A fun, family-friendly film. 7.5/10.0

Film Review: Life

Surprisingly enjoyable dark space fantasy inspired I think by Alien. An interesting story, great cast, quite good overall. 8.0/10.0

Film Review: Just Like Heaven

Old enough to be a classic now, well cast, well paced, feel good. Reese Witherspoon and Mark Ruffalo work well together. 8.5/10.0

Film Review: What Men Want

A fine remake of the Mel Gibson / Helen Hunt vehicle. Not great cinema, but I enjoyed it. 7.0/10.0

Film Review: The Map of Tiny Perfect Things

What a lovely film, bittersweet and funny, I enjoyed it a lot. Well cast, well written, perfectly paced in a slow, meandering but fulfilling way. I can’t think of a mis-step, it took me on an emotional journey and I loved it. 9.0/10.0

Film Review: Midnight at the Magnolia

A slushy, lightweight romance movie of the Hallmark genre. The acting is not great, the writing predictable. This is not great cinema. Don’t judge me, I enjoyed it. 7.0/10.0

Film Review: Next

Another older movie. Nick Cage, impossibly cast as Jessica Biel’s love interest while looking more like her weird uncle, sees glimpses of the future and helps avoid disaster. A fun film, but the weird uncle thing taints the pacing. 7.0/10.0

Gerard Butler and Morena Baccarin (who will forever be Inara Serra in my mind) turn in good performances in this action-romp. It’s a fairly linear telling of a story, unlike the better 2012, but I enjoyed it. They did kind of rip-off the last scene from 2012 though, or maybe it’s an hommage. 7.5/10.0

Film Review: Two Weeks Notice

Another old movie, and one looking its age. However, it’s doing so in the look-at-that-old-car and wow-what-a-funny-mobile-phone way, rather than the cringing racism and casual misogyny of films like Animal House and the like. This is a feel-good romance in the classic sense, that works as well through the lens of 2021 as it did in 2002. Hugh Grant and...
