  Nosferatu 2024

  ★★★ Watched 10 Jan 2025

  Okay this was the first time I nodded off at the cinema in a long time BUT I cashed it in during every film’s (?) little 10 min lull in act 2..

  ALSO did anyone else see the subtle nod to the Woman in Black by getting a dude who’s desperate to get a foothold in his company to go to a spooky house and get scared n’ cursed? Nicely done Eggman

  Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 29 Dec 2024

  Wiped out since Xmas day so today was the first chance to watch..

  Amount of references in this were so pleasing:
  > Radar on Norbots (Aliens)
  > ‘The Codger’s rest’
  > ‘EXC0PP3R’
  > Mcgraw’s Blofeld-esque chair swivel
  > Farmer’s cameo
  > ‘Walkies on the wild side’ vinyl on side by Roo Lead
  > Anton Deck & Onya Doorstep
  > ‘WG-40’ in the shed
  > Gromit reading ‘Paradise Lost’ (!) by John Stilton
  > Norbots looking down at Gromit (Birds)
  > ‘Accrington Queen’ being a play-on ‘African Queen’, with even the YEAR on the boat being the same as year the film was made (1951)!!!

  This is what you get when you have a Labour government back!

  The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King 2003

  ★★★★ Watched 18 Mar 2024 2

  Watched this at the Royal Albert Hall with the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra playing live in front.

  Experience beyond 5* (rating more on film itself). 

  The solo recorder for the shire scenes, the choir, the drums, the brass’ depictions of evil, the strings for all the in-between.. unbelievable Jeff
