So here we are then. It’s the 1st December & the holiday season is well & truly upon us so it’s about time to begin start my festive first watch advent calendar.

25 days to go until Xmas, 25 festive films I’ve never seen before. This should be fun (or painful…not quite sure yet).

Let’s ho ho GO! 🎄

All things considered, #Zootropolis2 / #Zootopia2 is a superior Disney sequel. Sure it’s
pretty basic & not a patch on the original but with breezy animation, snappy humour & an honourable message that continues the themes of diversity & acceptance from its predecessor, there’s plenty to appreciate

Damn that recap before the new #StrangerThings feels longer than most actual episodes…but I can’t skip the thing as I don’t remember half the stuff that’s happened

#WakeUpDeadMan is out in cinemas as we speak and while yes of course it'll be dropping on Netflix soon, but I can wholeheartedly recommend watching it on the biggest screen possible because it absolutely kills it!

👇👇👇
In cinemas tomorrow, WAKE UP DEAD MAN blends a devilishly plotted murder mystery with classic whodunnit vibes, razor sharp writing & cracking performances from an all-star cast for a wild, twisty ride that gives the entire #KnivesOut series a new lease of life.

What a lovely, lovely film. #TrainDreams is an earthy, soulful tale of life, loss & human connection with a wistful, haunting, beautifully ethereal quality to it. Just comes along, tells the story it needs to tell & exits with minimal fuss but maximum impact. Joel Edgerton is magnificent
