  The Penguin 2024

  ★★★★★ Watched 16 Oct 2024

  Absolutely unreal. Both Colin Farrell and Cristin Milioti give Emmy worthy performances in each episode. 4/8 Episodes Out. 

  Without hyperbole, the best comic book adaption on television. A perfect blend of The Sopranos and the noir of Matt Reeves’s Batman / Gotham. 

  Incredible writing - dark & gritty - Sundays can’t come soon enough. Sofia Falcone is captivating & it’s always great to see Michael Kelly back in his Doug Stamper element. 

  5/5 - Can’t recommend enough. You don’t need to know anything about Batman to enjoy and follow the story.

  Yesterday 2019

  ★★★★½ Watched 14 Jun 2024

  A global phenomenon wipes memory of the Beatles from everyone worldwide - except for a failing musician about to give up on his dream.

  A novel and beautiful piece of fiction. Forgot how much I liked this movie. Himesh Patel is incredibly talented and has a wonderful voice. His childhood relationship turned music manager partnership with Lily James is really something special. 

  4.5/5 - Cannot recommend this movie enough. If you like music, enjoy realism, and appreciate a good story - this might be for you.

  Dune: Part Two 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 02 Mar 2024

  Dune 2 was the best sci-fi sequel I’ve seen. Well worth the wait post writers strike. Florence Pugh and Austin Butler shined in their roles. The  cinematography of the Harkonnen planet, and introduction of the other great house added much needed scale to the ensuing conflict. The stage is set for a sequel, potentially making Dune the genre defining trilogy. 

  4.5/5 stars (would be 4.9 if the app would let me) 

  My gripes are with minor artistic choices, but highly recommend the film to everyone who enjoys sci-fi and can sit through a 3 hr movie.
