Very nice to hear a sane voice from Piddington. Serious respect to this woman, who is apparently already being othered by more bigoted villagers.

I guess the question is considering what he's doing in Taunton why are England not looking at him as a bowling all-rounder? Yet Jamie still seams to be in the picture.

I Want Your Sex - A sex positive sex comedy. Good fun throughout with Olivia Wilde playing an outlandish character that never feels outlandish which is quite impressive. Not one to watch with your Mum.

Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger - Unremarkable rock documentary/concert film. sound on early rehearsals/gigs is a bit of mess but genuinely touching in places.

picking a side in a face off between street fash and the RNLI is not fucking Sophie's Choice, it's strawberry ice cream or a bucket of shit. and the Home Office go for the bucket every time.

Her Private Hell - Possibly the most visually gorgeous film I've seen this year. With a striking score, its just a shame that in trying to portray the ennui of the lead the film meanders for too long and is alienating unless you really just let the film wash over you. Needs a stronger first act.

Leviticus - Sadly doesn't quite deliver on the premise. I think the issue comes down the gay conversion therapy being a singular event rather than sustained abuse. Elements are there but it needed to be even darker. Solid performances and gets the point across but doesn't quite hit the mark.

Pressure - Interestingly more about office politics and reporting lines showing united decisions than "the war". Runtime means the time pressure to make decisions is felt. Helped by the fact I can't remember dates well. I hope what's going on at home is not a plot contrivance. Pretty solid.

The Dog Stars - Absolutely dull. Well acted, well directed, well shot. Just a shame we've seen all done far better and the script/story is just rubbish. There is nothing in protagonist to really make him engaging. Two sequences are great. No idea why anybody involved decided to make this.

Coyote vs. ACME - The story of this film is better than the film itself. Which is a shame but it is fun for parts and does keep you thinking but the explanation of what ACME are doing is a little hand wavey than using ingenious visual gags. Still it made tear up at a 'meep meep'

Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma - Queer sexual awakening over Gillian Anderson through the lens of slasher films. I mean if that doesn't sell it to you nothing will. Superb lead acting can be very meta and surreal. The gore is comic which I enjoy. Would go for another watch.

Tony - I'll always say I'm a sucker for coming of age films but this one fell a little flat probably due to the biopic element. When this gets out of those biopic trapping its actually great. Dominic Sessa remains eminently watchable but needs to get out the 70's.

One of the things I do in my hobby is a big weekend freeform roleplaying most Februarys. There are spaces in the next game, Cafe Casablanca which is based around film noir and WW2 film plots. If you're interested in joining us, more details are at www.ishtari.co.uk/casablanca/i...

Cameos feel like the comic books where they pop up in the story who crop up when appropriate. But the overall story was a little flat and had nothing new to say about Peter Parker. Exceptionally disappointed in Keith David's role considering how prominent he was in the trailer.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day - In a world where the Spider-Verse films exist the live actions are always a step below which No Way Home really suffered against. This is probably the best since Homecoming. Al one the better better "in universe" MCU films.

The Odyssey - I think this might be Nolan's most overtly political film to date thats hard to get into but its a good message. The film is incredibly acted and shot as expected. Some scenes are true horror along with action. I love how the entire framing is from people regaling the shotry.
