Monty Python's Meaning of Life - watched for the late, great Terry Jones, especially the Mr Creosote sketch. I loved it and quoted along with it most of the way through. It does lumber along a bit in the middle but picks up again at the end. RIP Mr Jones. 4/5

I have just watched coming to america. 10/10 always love Eddie Murphy films. As it happens there is a Coming to America 2 coming 2020 too.

Spider Man Far From Home 8/10 Loved it and so glad we're getting another, again though it's another individual marvel film that for me has been better than the actual avengers films

Twenty Feet From Stardom - 6/10 Kinda just as expected. Very interesting, but left me feeling a little depressed that such talented people can't make it "big" in comparison to the nonsense that is churned out nowadays. (and even back then)

Fighting With My Family - 7½/10. True story about a wrestler from Norwich making it big in the WWE. Quite funny and quite touching in places. Recommended.

Once upon a time in Hollywood 8/10 No idea why i enjoyed it, nothing happens, not really a story but a fun stylish take on a buddy movie. Violence made me wince though i am getting old.

Jojo Rabbit 9/10 Was as good as the trailer promised, my favourite film so far this year. Funny and serious at the same time.

The Laundromat Not particularly coherent and pretty flat overall. For the amount of talent on screen, this is definitely a disappointment, felt like it was trying to be The Big Short in places but it didn't do a particularly good job at explaining things either. 6/10

Eli on Netflix - 8/10. Difficult to write much without spoilering it but good twist at the end that I didnt see coming. Also got to say that, even with her small role in the film, I do feel that the red head girl from stranger things is a really good actress with a promising future ahead

Triple Frontier on Netflix hmmm - very average - not particularly gripping, most of the action scenes are in the trailer, dragged on a bit. Nothing new about it. Looked great in the trailer but at best 6/10.

Geostorm - 4/10 Turned off brain and it was alright. Engaged 10% of my brain and it starts to unravel quickly lol.

21 Jump Street - 10/10. They really caught lightning in a bottle with this one. The characters are believable, there is a fair bit of heart / some feels and oodles of utterly bizarre, seemingly completely ab libbed dialogue. There are soooo many funny lines.

Murder on the Orient Express, been meaning to watch this for a while but decided to watch it after watching Murder Mystery, based on the same theme but with out the comedy. Thinking about reading book now. 6/10

I Am Mother (2019 - Netflix) 7.5/10 Good performances, interesting premise. I felt they could've made a little more of the story though - it just kind of fizzles out towards the end.

See You Yesterday 6/10 Produced by Spike Lee. Decent time travel story although predicable. It does have the most awesome cameo at the start and a brilliant line relating to the time travel classic the actor starred in.

The night eats the world 7/10 Slightly different take on the zombie film and one of the better ones i have seen lately. It's fairly light on dialogue as the main character spends a lot of time alone, but it's very watchable all the same. Definitely recommend if you like your zombie apocalypse...

Us. 7/10 Creepy doplegangers kill lots of people. It's fine, scares enough, few icky moments but a finale twist which you knew was coming from 3mins into the film let it down a touch. Never really becomes super tense and sometimes it felt comedic too far.

Happy Death Day 2U (2019) - 9/10 Quirky and funny with a great cast of characters, it’s an enjoyable and entertaining film. The plot does lose pace a bit in the middle and the horror takes a back seat to the comedy, but the jump scares as still very well done and Rothe as the lead is just as...

Escape Room - 7/10 It is kind of scary that the movie came out just as there were stories in the news about people dying in an actual escape room. I thought it was very well done, and had multiple interesting storylines that they worked into the escape rooms. The story is about a handful of...

Watched Ying ( 'The shadow' in the West ) . Quite a good film, lot less action than I was expecting and the plot twists aren't exactly surprising but none the less quite entertaining.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them last night. Not a bad film at all, very well done and well acted. Eddie Redmayne does a good job of someone who's rather socially awkward. 7.5/10

Nightcrawler (2014) 7.5/10 Designed for uncomfortable viewing but you can see it being very true. A film from the outset that you know its going to build throughout, worth a watch.

First Man (second viewing). Just brilliant. What a story. Great sound effects throughout the film, some of Claire Foy's lines practically made me burst into tears. What a ride. 9/10

Venom I really enjoyed it, although I'm slightly biased as I'm a bit of a Tom Hardy fanboy. Like others have said, the dialog between Venom and Tom is entertaining, he seems to be rather good at those voices (Bane, Mad Max).

I went to watch The Equalizer 2. I enjoyed it, didn't expect it to be an amazingly done film but it is good enough, 8/10. Denzel Washington is pretty good as usual.

Fallout - 8/10 Really enjoyed it, especially how it all comes together at the end.

I watched Dunkirk last night for the first time since I saw it at the cinema on release. I loved it then, and even more now. Much better the second time. Truly great film!

Darkest Hour - truely excellent display from Gary Oldman, stunning in fact. Very powerful messages of desperation coupled with fear of pending doom. Thoroughly enjoyed all of it.

Prisoners (2013) - A man's daughter is abducted and he tries to find her. I didn't want to say too much about these because I didn't want to spoil any major plot elements, but each one has a strong psychological aspect to it and would be well worth your time. 9/10

The Ritual- 7/10 The acting was really good and I liked how the director made use of Swedish scenery and Scandinavian mythology to give it that creepy atmosphere. However, the story itself was a pretty generic horror storyline. I felt more could have been done with Luke’s survivor’s guilt at...
