  You People 2023

  ★★ Watched 06 Feb 2023

  Better when Murphy and Dreyfus are involved but a largely forgettable and predictable film.

  Operation Mincemeat 2021

  ★★★ Watched 25 Dec 2022

  A fairly unremarkable standard WW2 movie where Colin Firth reprises a role you feel like he's done five or six times. The casting is solid but there are definitely better World Ward historics out there. Not bad but doesn't warrant a rewatch.

  Alien 1979

  ★★★★★ Watched 01 May 2018 4

  An absolute edge of the seat horror/sci-fi/thriller, totally awesome work by Ridley Scott on this piece.
  The entire crew of the Nostromo are brilliant and realistic in their levels of professionalism aboard the ship, whilst also having completely realistic fear and reaction to the alien aboard.
  The real mark of this film is that there are some iconic moments of cinema, that even if you hadn't watched this before, you would know about, such is the prestige of certain shots…

  Deadpool 2016

  ★★★★ Watched 11 Sep 2016

  Ryan Reynolds is so good in this that I can almost forgive him for the Green Lantern. He's perfect for the action and humour required for Deadpool and I love the way it's been shot and edited. It's right up there with Guardians of The Galaxy for comic book humour for me with great bouts of action too, rather refreshing!
