  Although it made me smile and laugh in a fair few places, I was overall a little disappointed. My hopesbwere high forbthis one, and though Its a decent tale with strong performances, it's not the gem ID hoped for

  Brawl in Cell Block 99 2017

  ★★★½ Watched 31 Dec 2017

  A decent watch, nothing that hasn't been done before, but it's done here quiet well. Vince Vaughn shows his acting versatility and is very believable as an angry tough guy

  One of These Days 2017

  ★★★½ Watched 08 Dec 2017

  Some great individual performances by two of the lead actresses and in particular a spellbinding Manal Issa as a girl coming of age a little more slowly than her contemporaries. The music makes a nice accompaniment but it does sometimes feel as though the director is trying a little too hard with some of the shots. An entertaining watch with some good comedic moments thrown in and a few decent glances at the inner working of life in Lebanon for young people heading towards adulthood
