  Army of the Dead 2021

  ★★★½ Rewatched 25 May 2023

  Army Of The Dead is better than I remembered.

  It’s far too long, but some of the zombie-killing sequences are excellent, and Dave Bautista is a solid lead. 

  A sequel (directed by Zack Snyder) would be welcome.

  Mission: Impossible - Fallout 2018

  ★★★★½ Watched 14 Jul 2018

  A good action film has one or two set pieces that stand out. Mission: Impossible - Fallout has five or six, including: 

  • The best skydiving sequence since Moonraker.
  • The best toilet fight since True Lies.
  • The best motorbike chase since The Matrix Reloaded.

  Roma 2018

  ★ Watched 16 Nov 2018 2

  Roma is a chore to sit through. It is shapeless, meandering and painfully slow. The camerawork is a bit repetitive (you are in for a treat if you like slow, horizontal pans). Almost every scene drags. Some scenes feel endless.
