Happy Death Day 2U

Entertaining sequel

(Edit) 30/08/2019

I thought this film might be "more of the same" but it managed to be different enough to be really entertaining.  Recommended.

Black Mirror: Series 1

Rubbish

(Edit) 15/08/2019

Don't waste a rental, none of the 3 stories is worth watching - very boring and not a new idea in sight.

Freak Show

Good film

(Edit) 14/08/2019

I really enjoyed this film.  I'd half expected it to be a bit "preachy" on the gender fluid issue, but in fact it was really entertaining and showed how to get a point across without beating you over the head with it.  Alex Lawther (Billy) is excellent and I loved the dry humour, and his determination not to be a victim, but to be himself and "glitter" - no matter what the consequences.  The costumes were great too.  Recommended.

Line of Duty: Series 1

A fabulous series

(Edit) 19/07/2019

Riveting as always - can't wait for the next episodes.  Best thing on tv.  We only started to watch this at the 4th series, so are now watching the earlier series.  Highly recommended.

Beast

Good story and satisfying ending.

(Edit) 08/07/2019

I didn't realise Jessie Buckley was Irish - her English accent was perfect.  A good story of a mixed up, possibly mentally ill girl, trying to keep it together despite a difficult home life and a new boyfriend who could be a serial killer.  Nice clear dialogue for a change, and I thought the ending wrapped the film up satisfactorily and it was well acted by all the cast.

Bad Times at the El Royale

Strange but enjoyable

(Edit) 30/06/2019

This film didn't go where I expected but was an interesting watch.  I thought it might be, because Jeff Bridges is a great actor and I'm sure he can pick and choose his parts.  He doesn't disappoint in this.  The soundtrack is terrific but the film's overlong, and I got a bit bored towards the end - not sure what Chris Hemsworth added in the final part of the story, but as always he was nice to watch!  Recommended, but pay attention to all the flashbacks.

Wild Tales

Very entertaining!

(Edit) 11/06/2019

A good collection of four films, the last of which is hysterical - like the main character.  I laughed out loud.  Recommended.

Phantom Thread

Beautiful cinematography

(Edit) 11/06/2019

Basically a film about dependence, set in the 1950s.  Daniel Day Lewis is, as always, terrific and really inhabits his part of the dress-designer head of a fashion house who seems to have been a mummy's boy and still fixates on her death.  The film didn't go where I expected it to, but that made it more interesting, and the sumptuous gowns on show were fabulous. Not a cheery story though, but I enjoyed it for the skill of the actors and it's slow pace.  A fascinating tale.

Avengers: Infinity War

Entertaining

(Edit) 22/05/2019

Well, I liked it.  A great way to spend a couple of hours plus.  Nice to see Captain America looking a bit more mature with the beard and deeper voice, and Chris Hemsworth is always worth a view i.m.h.o.  He always looks as if he's about to corpse.  Great to see all then actors together, although I was a bit confused about what the red guy did??

Great low budget film

I really enjoyed this.  The story was entertaining and the acting was good.  Something a bit different and a good ending.  Recommended.

Ghost Stories

Not bad

(Edit) 08/05/2019

The ending linking the stories together wasn't very satisfactory, but this film was watchable if only to see what exactly was happening. Not sure I would recommend though, as it's not frightening in any way.

Christopher Robin

Well, I enjoyed it!

(Edit) 08/05/2019

A lovely gentle film, and I didn't feel preached to, nor did I recognise the political correctness (I usually do). I didn't find Ewan MacGregor miscast, but I hated the voices of Winnie the Pooh and friends - American.......Noooooo! As someone who read the stories as a child, the Disney version of the animals is so wrong. However, I would recommend this when you want something pleasant to watch.

Unknown

Very entertaining

(Edit) 24/04/2019

This really kept my interest right up to the end. The acting was great and the story a bit different as you didn't know who were the bad guys were until near to the end. A good ending too. Recommended.

Bohemian Rhapsody

Irreplaceable Freddie

(Edit) 23/04/2019

Great film. Yes, some of the chronology is off and some reviewers criticize the face that the is film not completely true to life, but if it had been, it would never have got to the cinema without massive censorship- no XXX certificates!

This was a celebration of Freddie and Queen's music, and was an entertaining, and yes, sanitized view of Freddie's life. With the other members of Queen having to agree to the content, it was never going to be anything else. It was the music that mattered, and that was the point of the film. The acting was spot-on and I never thought anyone could get so near to portraying the larger-than life Freddie - a triumph.
