  The Trial 1962

  ★★★½ Watched 16 Mar 2025

  5 stars for the sets and shots. Can definitely see the influence on his nimble camera moves on directors like Spielberg and Scorsese. Perkins is fantastic. By design the story is nebulous and confusing but it mostly works.

  Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy 2025

  ★★★ Watched 07 Mar 2025

  Despite all the contrivances and well-worn plot points, there are enough laughs and smiles to make this latest Bridget Jones enjoyable. Hugh Grant and Emma Thompson are comic highlights, and Chiwetel Ejiofor gives a nice performance as well.

  The Girl Who Knew Too Much 1963

  ★★½ Rewatched 09 Feb 2025

  Watched "The Evil Eye" cut. (Saw The Girl Who Knew Too Much cut for a Bava box set several years ago.) There's maybe 5 minutes of awesome Bava shots which make it worth a watch. Otherwise it's fairly low-end giallo.
