dont forget your popcorn

Sometimes it just rides above your head and doesn't really land. This one floated away like a lost kite and never managed to capture my eagerness to catch it. 2/5

Edward Norton is a fine fine man. Well, I can’t comment on his table manners but his acting is sublime. This gem scoops you back to the ‘50’s when Edward, just like now, was 25yrs old. Invest in this movie and it will pay dividends. 4/5

The last 20 minutes of this movie is utterly, utterly breathtaking. Not taking away from the rest of this excellent documentary which is a fascinating on every level. Please can someone buy this man some cutlery - a spoon at least? Extraordinary. 4.5/5

You perhaps have seen it pop up on Netflix and thought you'd give it a swerve. On the contrary, get involved - it's a rollercoaster of staggering audacity and arrogance on every level possible. Instagram has come alive and takes plenty of prisoners in its wake. 4/5

I'm packing the family up and we're gonna live in the woods and read Chomsky, kill a few deer, play guitar and dance like nobody is watching. "If we choose, we can live in a world of comforting illusion." What a lovely romp this movie is. Indulge. 4/5

My second favourite sailing movie this week. An astonishing tale well worth watching in our time of isolation. Ready about, lee ho. 3/5

Lives up to the hype and all accolades it has received. Remarkable performance by Joaquin Bottom. Just found out that’s his real name which surely makes me family. Christmas’s will never be the same again. 4.5/5

I think Hoffman is perhaps one of my favourite actors of all time. Perhaps followed by his name sake Phillip Seymour. Anyway, this flick aint half bad. 3/5

BBC FOUR doco about the incredible Tracy Edwards who lead the first all female round the world yacht team. Remarkable achievement and a truly epic picture. 4/5

It’s reassuring to know that despite hell on earth there still exists angels that refuse to be be broken. The most depressing movie I have ever seen. Yet, hope springs eternal and for fucks sake will, one day ,perhaps, overcome these pricks who continue to rage. 5/5

What a beautiful movie this is. Sit back and strap yourself in - it's a bumpy ride. But sharing a basket with these two for 90 minutes is a splendid adventure indeed. 4/5

“to think all these men die” was not a helpful bit of banter by the person sitting next to me as this film began. But alas you probably know the story already. No happy endings here. Not even Colin Firth could raise this one from the depths. 2/5

You can compare this to a hundred other war films and inevitably Lord of the Flies but please don't. Brilliant in its very own skin. Scratches all the right itches in all the right places and leaves your spine well and truly tingled. Left me wanting more. Bravo. 4.5/5

Like a village in Midsummer me thinks there is one too many murders and one which is rather egregious in my humblest of opinions. Despite this it's really rather decent and worth a pop on a Sunday night. 3/5

This movie never fails to deliver. Actually thought my wife was having kittens when Murray was on the cycling machine. Geniuses at work in all aspects of film here. Go on, indulge again it won't disappoint. 5/5

Brad Pitt goes to Neptune to find his dad and returns to earth with a beard. Mission not accomplished. This is not one giant leap for mankind but a nice skip that on a big screen you might well enjoy - as did I . 3/5

- being 43, I can act my age AND my shoesize. (European) Which is a great comeback to my mother’s jibes at my behaviour. I’m glad I am no longer 25. It never suited me. Much like this movie. 2/5

- it would be far too easy and incorrect to say this is a Russian Billy Elliot but I don’t have many more characters left to say much else. Oh well. Such is life. 2/5

- Daniel does not disappoint in this sewing tale and those around him shine too. Grab a cup of tea and a nice packet of biscuits and scoff the lot. Nice. 3.5/5
