    This film really suffered from low quality older CGI. It was still really interesting due to the story and the moral implications of it. Really well acted and an enjoyable film.

    The Godfather Part II

    My favourite of the three movies, the duality of michael and Vito's stories really does it for me. Robert de Niro as a younger Vito is fantastic casting and feels very faithful and complete. I love the way the movie works around the absence of brando. My favourite scene are shot in Cuba, it just makes me feel as if I'm there in the cuban heat.

    ★★★★½

    This film felt so finished and outstanding in terms of visuals. The story has a depth that makes it incredibly exciting to see where it will head next. Honestly a film a that needs to be experienced on the biggest screen possible. A great example of show me and don't tell me. There's so much to this film, but for a first pass viewing this film definitely captivated me for a the full 2.5 hours.

    Eliza's rating was 7/10.

    This was a fantastic film about the legend Ayrton Senna. The film had a really emotive score that elevated my emotional response. The film delved into the opposing values of an incredible human being and one of the most competitive racing drivers ever in formula one. The film highlighted how much raw talent and commitment he had to the sport.

    The man had a lust for life and a heart that reached out to all other drivers, even Alain Prost…
