  Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald 2018

  ★★★ Watched 22 Nov 2018

  First fantastic is better than this sadly.  It is a VERY busy movie with just too many characters and plots the movie is trying to juggle. I believe that the original characters from the first movie (Newt, Queenie, Tina, Jacob) get lost among a sea of exposition about secret brothers and family lineage.

  Creed II 2018

  ★★★★ Watched 20 Nov 2018

  Loved this pseudo sequel to rocky 4 & creed. Sly Michael B Jordan (Best actor working in Hollywood) and Tessa Thompson all give stand performances. Amazing training montages (that’s what it’s all about) however what holds it back from the best of all these movies is missed opportunities with Viktor Drago - the whole narrative is through Dolph Lungrins Ivan Dragon which is a mistake. The fighting is at an operatic level with lots of punches blocked by faces. - great review line

  Beautiful Boy 2018

  ★★★★ Watched 18 Nov 2018

  Good movie showing what drug addiction truly is...and how it affects the family around them. Steve Carrell and Timothee are both great!
