  A Complete Unknown 2024

  ★★½ Watched 05 Mar 2025

  Three main protagonists were brilliant but this turned out to be a pure musical Dylanfest which overshadowed what could have been a better scripted film.
  Dylan’s lyrics on their own are incredible but not sufficient to tell the story on their own. 
  For those who are not Dylan devotees there were a lot of plot assumptions made that the audience  (me) were and still are oblivious to.
  All that said it captured the period feel beautifully.

  Hit Man 2023

  ★★★★ Watched 27 Feb 2025

  Very original idea that works because it sends itself up right from the start - offbeat wacky humour done well for once. Could the lead male play Chesney Hawkes in a biopic (just a thought!?)

  The Six Triple Eight 2024

  ★★★★★ Watched 31 Dec 2024

  Morally spiritually and emotionally uplifting. A great ensemble cast more than do justice to a story of racial and sexual hypocrisy and discrimination.
  A story well told and establishes another step toward a legacy of equality between us all regardless of any differences between us.

  The most adult kids film ever - funny, brave subject matter and so relatable to us all. Could watch it all day every day and still laugh cry and feel better about the human condition.
