  A different kind of ghost story. Very interesting!

  North by Northwest 1959

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 02 Mar 2025 1

  I know a lot of classic films get rave reviews from reviewers because it may seem to be the cool thing to do but I really do love this film - so funny, entertaining, and dazzling. It’s the very best of Hitchcocks filming and storytelling techniques in a ‘suspend your disbelief for two hours and just go with it’ movie. 

  Great seeing it on the big screen in the Prince Charles Cinema, too.

  Poor Things 2023

  ★★★½ Watched 15 Jan 2024 1

  Great beginning and end, but started to feel long in the middle.

  Costume and set design 👌

  Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo and Willem Dafoe are just great in everything, aren’t they?

  Lost in Translation 2003

  ★★★★½ Watched 28 Aug 2024

  I feel disappointed it’s taken me this long to see this movie. I was anxiously waiting on bated breath by the end despite knowing what was to inevitably come. What a well written and real film.
