    ★★★★

    Have to hats off Bogdanovich for this remarkably prescient eulogy to an American innocence that’s about to go up in flames a year later with the Tate murder (and for looking quite handsomely Bobby Cannavale-esque in his youth). While the themes aren’t exactly pussy footed into frame, he tastefully restrains elsewhere with patient renderings of a man going about his massacre and the lame duck picket fence milieu he’s about to visit it upon. Good bye space race, hello Watergate.

    Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes

    ★★★½

    Despite the central hypocrisy of a metaphor for racial harmony always typecasting silverback gorillas as fascists, this refreshingly unironic franchise about a hyper intelligent ape-ocalypse still has plenty of juice. I only hope we finally get a genuine arsehole in the vain of the original’s Charlie Heston at some point.

    ★★★½

    This trilogy is a lot easier to watch without your girlfriend reminding you how infuriating the characters are. It’s the equivalent of being told that Mr Bean is a sad lonely autistic man and none of these people are helping him.

    If history ended with this movie then I would go gentle into that sweet night. Gotch is a revelation.
