  The Godfather: Part II 1974

  ★★★★ Watched by Campbell George 17 Dec 2018

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  How do you solve a problem like a sequel?
  How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?

  The Mother Superior might not enjoy the blasphemies intrinsic to the Godfather films, but even she'd have to admire the seamless transition between the beloved original and its arguably more acclaimed follow-up.

  Having taken the reins from his larger-than-life father Don Vito, the newly-anointed Don Michael Corleone settles into a role he never wanted with unexpected vigor. The venom percolated following…

  Bodies Bodies Bodies 2022

  ★★★½ Watched by Campbell George 18 Aug 2022

  The Green Knight 2021

  ★★★★ Watched by Campbell George 29 Jul 2021 8

But few were stuck in the middle. Fledging, maybe. Unsteady, definitely. But none fall as consistently, humanly short as Gawain.

  At every turn, he is weighed and found wanting. When Essel proclaims her love for him, his heart is insufficient to proclaim it back. When…
