What a film! Villeneuve’s adaptation of Frank Herbert’s saga is nothing short of brilliant. The cinematography, the soundtrack, the way the story unfolds, the casting, the detail. The whole thing is a masterpiece.

Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget 2023
A great follow up to the original Chicken Run. Aardman are past masters in this genre, and they’ve cracked another fun one here. Good family fun for sure.

Blue Beetle 2023
Nice to see DC doing a less serious superhero film. Plenty of action, some humour and poignant moments too, even if it was all quite predictable.
-
Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One 2023
Once you get past the initial dialogue, this is another fun, roller coaster of an M:I installment. Hayley Atwell is a great addition to the characters. All in all a good one to see on the big screen.

Bastille Day 2016
A rollicking action film with some fun twists and turns. Good for a Friday night watch.
-
Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre 2023
Pretty much everything you expect from a Guy Ritchie film: good action, good humour and enough to keep you there to the end. Hugh Grant is the star in this one for sure - he makes such a good crook.

See How They Run 2022
A fun whodunnit with a great cast. Clearly inspired by Wes Anderson, but all the better for it.
-
Glass Onion 2022
I had high expectations for this and they were happily met. This follow up to Knives Out is genuinely a modern Agatha Christie, with twists and turns aplenty. The characters are perfectly cast, the dialogue is sharp, and the setting is perfect. Thoroughly enjoyed this.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever 2022
First the good - so many power women in this story! Angela Bassett and Danai Gurira in particular were so strong.
Now the rest… the whole film felt overdone, drawn out and poorly paced. I had high hopes for this one, but came out feeling like I should’ve waited to watch it on Disney+.

Knives Out 2019
Have wanted to watch this for ages, and definitely before Glass Onion is released. So glad I finally did. A superb whodunnit all round. Great performances by a stellar cast too. Well worth a watch.

Ticket to Paradise 2022
Entirely predictable but good fun nonetheless. The great energy between Roberts and Clooney Carrie’s much of the film.
