Man Vs ManUre

The first Knives Out is a modern day masterpiece, full of charm, wit and originality. The 2nd Glass Onion, not only does it have a stupid name, but it has none of the magic of the 1st movie, I didn’t like it, the story was made too complex, setting in Greece didn’t make sense and all of the characters were unlikeable. The Monea wan wasn’t up to the standard of Armas from first film, and Daniel Craig character was so much better in first. Very disappointed with the sequel, a classic case of over budget and style over substance.

Yeah have to agree. First one was top drawer. I wouldn't say I disliked the 2nd. Better than a kick in the nads and worth a watch but not a patch on the 1st. Edward Norton did a good job as an

Just tried to watch the new Matilda movie there. Had to turn it off. Load of rubbish. Kids might like it sure but I don't see it beating the Danny DeVito version.

i didn't like it either, although it's incredibly well crafted, but then i remembered that i hate pinocchio as a story and hated the walt disney version previously, so i've just not gotten involved in the argument tbh.

First two episodes of the new season of Alice in Borderland are solid. Second episode stronger than the first I thought.

Though the second episode.

Watched 'The Volcano' last night, god I'm still thinking about it today, absolutely heartbreaking.

Very well made I'd highly recommend, just have the tissues ready.

On the other hand 1899 is absolutely headwrecking, started off well but has now just gone totally weird, my husband says we might as well just finish it off to see what happens but I'm not holding my breath for a satisfactory ending.

The Imposter is good. Seen it before but watched again with the missus. She thought it was a good watch also.

Just turned White Noise off after about an hour. It was doing absolutely nothing for me, bored to tears. A shame because I'm a big fan of Adam Driver so I am interested to know what others thought.

Aftershock The Nepal Earthquake is another outstanding documentary.

The entitlement of some of these 'Adventure Tourists' in Nepal when the earthquake happened was absolutely shocking to watch.

Gloomtastic!

Dead to me. Never heard of it before but it’s pretty good. Some great twists in the first six episodes…..
