    Godzilla Minus One

    ★★★★

    Worst kamikaze pilot ever saves the day.

    I'm not a Godzilla fan, haven't read a comic for 40 years, and the only shin I know is just below my knees. But I've always found him a welcome, and usually entertaining cinematic presence. After the Oscar hype I was almost expecting a bit of a let down, but this one lives up to the billing.

    Die Hard 2

    ★★★★

    John McClane's run of rotten yuletide luck continues when terrorists take over Dulles Airport as he arrives to greet his estranged wife.

    The original film is a nailed on classic. One of the best action films ever made, and arguably the greatest Christmas film of all time (Yes it is a bloody Christmas film !).
    Bruce Willis has never been better than when portraying the misfortunate, wise-cracking and resourceful policeman; and here he gives us more of the same, which…
