I think that was the longest 90 mins film I’ve ever watched. Maybe some ideas/concepts start out as a short film for a reason

The animation is very impressive and part of the reason that it managed to achieve 2 stars

Firstly, Denzel was robbed. Scent of a Woman wasn’t even Al Pacino’s best performance that year.

The issue with some biopics is that you know where it is heading, however there was so much more detail to the story that I didn’t know and the central performance is so captivating, that it didn’t feel like nearly 3 hours

It’s certainly a film that everybody should see at least once and should probably be shown in schools

Fugitive knock off with an eco slant. It even has Neil Flynn playing a cop.

Rachel Weisz is wasted, but then again so is everyone

My concerns going in surrounded how the film would work without Keanu carrying it, then I ed Ana de Armas’ Bond cameo and I knew everything was going to be ok

Oddly I thought it was a little too long, which is ironic given that it’s a full 45 mins shorter than John Wick 4!

Similar setup to the Wick films and action was on the same scale. Lots more to come from this character

I can’t decide between a high 3 or a low 4

Bonus points for the TV changes between movies in one fight

I wonder if Ana de Armas ever dreamed that she would end up here after Knock Knocking on Keanu’s door

Hopefully not a spoiler- Grenades

Definitely a spoiler - Tarantino would be jealous of this flamethrower action

Do you want to be depressed for nearly 2 hours?

Based on a best selling book, but it really doesn’t translate well to the screen.

Strong performances for the lead pair, beautiful landscapes of the south coast, but there’s really not a lot too it.

Also, I fear it will lead to lots of unprepared people going on long distance walks and getting into trouble

Wes Anderson lost me a bit with the French Dispatch ( I should probably give it a rewatch). I thought Asteroid City was an improvement, but still below his usual output. I’m still unsure with this entry 

Probably the most and best I’ve seen Benicio Del Toro act, a long way from whatever his choices in the Last Jedi were.

Quintessential British humour, the small cast works so well together and the music is pretty good as well.

I’ve been on the Carey Mulligan train ever since she appeared in Dr Who, this was another great stop.

It’s Tim Key’s show and some of his lines are stellar 

Will definitely become a regular rewatch

I’d like to be stuck on a spaceship with Jennifer Lawrence 

There’s so much right with this film, but that one big plot point

Enable watch with a great cast, even if Jude Law’s accent travels the entire length of the M62

Eva Green really has cornered the market in sexual weirdo role, maybe it’s a French thing!

A solid end to the 8 film series so far, lots of call backs to the previous entries and actual flashbacks within the film itself.

It’s overly long and a good 20 mins could be trimmed. Not a lot of jeopardy for the main players and the villain from the previous entry who was mysterious is now a complete caricature.

It does enter the list of great submarine films, although it still has nothing on the Hunt for Red October, which is clearly a touchstone for the submarine elements

It feels even more so (than the previous entries) like it’s a group of set pieces with a plot that has been written around it, but they are so impressive and you are put directly in Cruise’s face that you can’t help but wonder at their creation. This is cinema made for people that enjoy the big screen experience 

It’s both tied off nicely and left wide open for more, I’ll be back for more when they inevitably arrive, even if it’s lead by a then pensioner.

Just watch The Last Crusade again, I hear it’s coming back to cinemas. Or even National Treasure I guess

This is weak, but I love Natalie Portman. Krasinski doesn’t come across as his usual charming self and all the characters are paper thin

Piglet, Quincy ME and 9 other guys have a change of heart 

This is honestly one of the greatest films ever made and I haven’t watched it in over 20 years. The prejudices of 1957 are still as relevant today as there were nearly 70 years ago

• Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

• Saludos Amigos

  The first Disney "propaganda" to appeal to Southern American countries with Nazi leanings due to the popularity of Disney characters there.

• The Three Caballeros

  A sequel of sorts to Saludos Amigos, this is yet another propaganda message to South America from the good ol' USA.

• Make Mine Music

  The last time Disney voiced Mickey Mouse.

• Melody Time

  As you can see, Disney loved animating to music. But as time wore on, his animations became less ambitious than the towering achievement of Fantasia.
