  Dog Day Afternoon 1975

  ★★★★½ Watched 24 Mar 2025

  Digital

  Shocked this is my first viewing. Extremely good 70’s thriller.

  Pacino is Captivating as Sonny & Cazale gives a tense subdued performance as Sal. Both characters are polar opposites, but they compliment each other so well. 

  Lance Henriksen showed up in this as one of the agents, & completely stole all my attention in the 3rd act.

  American Reunion 2012

  ★★★½ Rewatched 23 Mar 2025

  Better than I remembered! Start of the 2010s legacy sequel trend, & does it better than most.

  Nice to revisit these characters in their 30’s, all reuniting & reliving their youth. Stifler’s growth from the 3rd seems to have been abandoned, so they could repeat the same arc again. It hits a lot more, & makes sense for the character, but is frustrating if you’ve watched them back to back. 

  Surprisingly my favourite moments are with Oz & Helen, with them reconnecting is…

  They bloody nailed it, completely stuck the landing. This will go down as a TV classic, phenomenal final episode.

  Doctor Who: The Star Beast 2023

  ★★★★ Watched 25 Nov 2023

  It’s like an old best friend has returned into your life.
  The best Doctor Who episode we’ve had in 6 years, so special to see all these characters again.
  The resolution & start are a bit too fast, definitely could have benefited from another 20 minutes. 
  I am so excited to see the next episode next week, & can’t wait to watch this episode again tomorrow.

  Also toxic 13 fans can’t shut up now - Jodie has not be erased at all.
