  Operation Mincemeat 2021

  ★★★ Watched 14 Mar 2025

  Simon’s choice. 
  Full of A and B list TV actors so we spent the whole film working out where we had seen them before.

  A Bug's Life 1998

  ★★★ Rewatched 11 Mar 2023

  24 years ago today Simon and I went to see this at the cinema for our first official date. 
  Heimlich is still funny and the pill bugs are still cute and Gypsy is still elegant. 
  Not the best Pixar and I didn’t fall asleep.

  Gladiator II 2024

  ★★★ Watched 25 Jan 2025 2

  Okaaaayy 
  I really don’t think this was the role for Paul Mescal. 
  I do think he can act (Mr Onion) as I have seen Normal People and All of Us Strangers. He is good at emotion and pain and passion. This role made him hold all that in. It would have been a much more engaging and satisfying film if he showed these things. Lucius needed to show how he was feeling in my opinion. 
  Yes, it was too similar…
