Whilst Bohemian Rhapsody is a fundamentally inaccurate documentary in places, it it undoubtedly a heart pounding musical experience. Malek nails it as Mercury, as he gives a superb physical and emotional performance for this larger then life persona. Even if you aren’t a Queen fan, the Live Aid finale is still incredibly uplifting and epic much like the protagonists remarkable life.
Ad Astra is probably one of the most visually stunningly space films I’ve even seen. With an exciting opening and an original action set piece on the moon, I had high hopes for the rest of the picture. Unfortunately, the long-winded final act failed to keep me engaged and enthralled in the plot. Worth a watch for the visuals and Pitt’s performance but it will probably be a while until I give it a second viewing.
Probably the most romantised version of Hollywood I’ve seen in a film. Whilst lacking the continuous bloodshed of previous Tarantino films, OUATIH is gloriously funny and tense at times providing a great viewing experience. An instant classic
For a sequel that didn’t need to exist, Toy Story 4 is a great addition to the franchise. Whilst many of the older nostalgic characters are pushed aside, a new roster of characters provides many of the films comedic and emotional highs. TS4 is fundamentally a character study about Woody, but thanks to Hanks I didn’t mind one little bit. If this is to be the end of Pixar’s flagship series then it certainly ended on a high.
