  I really don't like the 3rd act. Shame.

  Paddington in Peru 2024

  ★★★ Watched 01 Jan 2025

  Not a patch on 1 and 2, but it's still Paddy bear, and this time he's in the rainforest.. the greatest possible film location. So it's decent. It's extremely silly in all areas, whereas 1 and 2 were silly whilst also being full of depth and pathos.

  Ex Machina 2015

  ★★★★½ Watched 21 Jan 2015 3

  A modern masterpiece. Sumptuous direction, brilliant acting and very smart, self-assured writing. Pretty much flawless. How many sci-fis can you say that about?

  Enemy at the Gates 2001

  ★★★★ Rewatched 09 Feb 2015

  Underrated. The production design is immersive and the action set pieces (both between the central snipers and the larger battle sequences) are very well presented.
  I think it helps if you don't suffer from a 'Jude Law aversion' which I know many people do. I've always thought he was decent, if unspectacular, so I've always managed to really enjoy this film.
