The Personal History of David Copperfield 2019
Over the line too twee for me but nonetheless very charming and well put together. Call me Dora. Woof.

Can You Ever Forgive Me? 2018
Melissa McCarthy is fantastic. Absolutely invisible in this unpleasant and very real role. Unfortunately I disliked Lee Israel, and her friend Jack, so much that I couldn’t enjoy the film. I cannot abide train wreck people and the suffering they bring.

Top Gun 1986
I've bought the DVD, the soundtrack, watched the making of and dreamed about Kelly McGillis more than one time. The film that did more for Air Force enlistments than anything else will do the same for you.
If you've ever been holding on too tight with a bunch of oiled up dudes then you will lose your edge over Top Gun again and again.

Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol 2011
What did I learn from Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol? Let me see. There are a lot of BMWs in Dubai and Mumbai (coincidence?) and they have safety features you can trust, and cool start controls, and cool wheels and cool grill-lights, what? I haven't seen such gross product placement in a while. Oh yeah, and iPhones. iPhones are cool, iPads are cool, apparently USB cables are cool; but iPhones in rubberised cases? I guess they might knock them around…
