  Dial M for Murder 1954

  ★★★ Watched 19 Mar 2025

  Spotting Alfred Hitchcock's cameo was a little trickier this time.
  Very intense and with the vast majority of the whole film set in the one room it flowed effortlessly.
  A modern remake simply would not work as it would not have the same effect to dial using a mobile phone.

  Blood Father 2016

  ★★★ Watched 18 Mar 2025

  Discovered by chance whilst looking endlessly for something to watch and decided to give it a go with rather low expectations. To my surprise it was half decent and I enjoyed it.
  Mel Gibson played his character well and a short run-time meant it got to the end without dragging it out.

  Got better as it went on but could tell it was done on a budget.

  Operation Mincemeat 2021

  ★★★★ Watched 17 Apr 2022

  Really enjoyed this. I wasn't familiar with the events but it added to the experience not knowing how it spanned out.
  It was a slow burner at times but it didn't matter.
  Good cast as well.
