Bittersweet, light-hearted love story set amidst the tribulations of the German occupation of Guernsey. Lovely film, well cast. I give this 7.5/10.0

As I watched this movie I couldn’t help but think this would be the Stephen King book adaptation that would be awesome, after so so many terrible films. This is one of my favourite Stephen King books. I know both Carrie’s were great, and The Shining, but generally Stephen King adaptations are terrible. So, there I was, sat there enjoying...

A fast-paced, funny, and fun movie. Mila Kunis and Kate McKinnon were great, and it was fun to see Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan) in a role that doesn’t require a kilt. 😀 I give this film 7.5/10.0

A movie of two halves: the first was tense, scary, paced well; the second half was a mad jumble of incoherent nonsense, as if the director got bored halfway through and abandoned the script. The contrast with his previous outing, Get Out, couldn’t be more clear. This is a poor follow-up, instantly forgettable. I give this movie 2.0/10.0

This was great fun. Starring the excellent Zachary Levi, who is a very engaging, entertaining actor, in a feel good movie in the old school way: funny, exciting, madcap, uplifting. I give this this a well-deserved 7.5/10.0

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Melissa McCarthy is excellent, and Richard E Grant is his usual larger than life self. A little bittersweet, and more about loneliness than I expected, extremely well paced and well written, with great supporting actors. I give this film 8.5/10.0

Clint Eastwood and Bradley Cooper are both great actors, and I have enjoyed almost all of their movies. Clint Eastwood is, well, Clint Eastwood, and that’s always a good thing. There is a great chemistry between the two of them, and they work a well written script to good effect. This is a well paced movie, bittersweet, and it reminds...

I thoroughly enjoyed this film. It feels like a madcap art-house movie, every character is a caricature, every scene odd in some way, unsettling cinematography, and absolutely fantastic performances. Olivia Coleman absolutely deserved the awards she received for this film, and it’s just a shame that Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz weren’t similarly recognised. I give this film 9.0/10.0.

Sometimes a film comes along with the perfect mix of fine actors, great story, humour, sadness, and drama. This film has it all. John C. Riley and Steve Coogan gave absolutely stellar performances, and Nina Arianda and Shirley Henderson were excellent as always. This is a bittersweet film, made all the more so by performances so good you often forget...

Stupid plot, over-acted, Mary Poppins accents, Illogical technology. Embarrassing to watch.   I give this film a well deserved 1.0/10.0.
