    Guy Ritchie's The Covenant

    ★★★

    First act. Two main characters clash and then bond.
    Second act. All goes wrong. The montages and tension roll and rise.
    Third act. Paint by numbers resolution of guilt, redemption and salvation.

    Based on real world experiences and a decent crack at telling that untold reality.

  • Finding Steve McQueen

    Finding Steve McQueen

    ★★★

    part heist,
    part comedy,
    part "based on a true story" flashback timeline
    part romantic Hallmark schmaltz
    so a little bit clanky,
    but well carried by the core actors.

    as midweek movie fillers that don't require much thinking or investment in effort - this fits the bill.

    ★★★★

    An angry, whiplash of a film with a bite in the script and a kick-ass beat at it's heart.
    Offensive, funny, brutal, takedowns, with raw undertones.
    Sometimes a beat down. Not a beat up.
    Top notch viewing.

    ★★½

    Thomas the Tank Engine on speed, set on the island of Sodor (aka the world) covered in snow.

    Just like the actual Thomas the Tank Engine stories, this needed more engines to make it interesting. Percy, Toby and maybe James would have made it more enjoyable. Not Gordon though, because he's a prat.
