Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) 2020
Still enjoyable on a second viewing - glad they seem to have just left the film as it is rather than making it the foundation of a series of every diminishing returns.

Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome 1985
Max simply talks too much, and this one seems to have a plot that would need more than one sentence to explain. Not bad, but my least favourite of the four films by a distance.

Apocalypse Now 1979
A sweaty film made for sweaty days.
A journey about travelling from civilisation (as we’d view it) into the pure darkness of the night. Surreal, haunting, savage.
I do the Kurtz head rub every time I get a Slack notification.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture 1979
Very dry, too long, and everyone wants to fuck - just how I like my sci-fi.
-
Mission: Impossible - Fallout 2018
It’s wild that any series would release the best film in the franchise six films deep - it’s a rollercoaster of explosions, toilets, Alec Baldwin having an unloaded gun and Henry Cavill’s Justice League ruining soup strainer.
-
Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation 2015
That’s what I’m talking about! Big action and a decent baddie! Along with Fast and the Furious, it’s the only franchise that can escalate this much and still feel like the shark is unjumped.
-
Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol 2011
Much closer to what you’d now expect from the franchise, but the baddy is shite
-
Mission: Impossible III 2006
Not as wild as MI2, not as interesting as MI1 - bit of a dry run for what the series eventually becomes.
