  Life 2017

  ★★★½ Rewatched 19 Mar 2025

  I know the plot isn't particularly original and the characters are quite flat but there's something about Life which I really enjoy.

  It feels quite pacey and lean once it gets up and running and I enjoy the relentlessness of the captured alien although its design feels a bit odd.

  Life won't blow your socks off but it's an enjoyable if formulaic watch.

  A Banquet 2021

  ★★ Watched 16 Mar 2025

  An unpleasant time which doesn't really go anywhere. The cast deliver some good performances but there's not much for them to do apart from mope around and shout at each other.

  Stage Fright 1987

  Once the spree starts, it’s a hell of a ride

  Quite creepy for a campy slasher

  Mickey 17 2025

  ★★★★ Watched 08 Mar 2025

  Very funny and warm with Mark Ruffalo cracking me up every time he is on screen.

  Mickey 17 perhaps doesn’t have the darkness which some people hope for from director Bong but it’s a really great time.
