“Sober but social” -my new tagline
It will still be tv, movie and book reviews, mixed with my odd views on other stuff along the way.
And of course there will be the odd spelling mistake.

Eternity ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I hoped this would be charmingly quirky from the trailer. And it certainly was, and then it was genuinely funny, touching and heartfelt! From the performances to little details this was a pure gem of a movie.

The Parenting ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/10 IMDb
This could have been funnier but it was an easy time passer, Brain Cox and Parker Posey steal it. Lisa Kudrow and Edie Falco were a little wasted. Bryan Flynn looked fine and got chance to show his comedic side.

Hudson look handsome, Day likeable but they didn’t seem to fit. It was all a pretty easy going watch, but the comedy was often flat.

Snobby middled aged Karen just smacked with her bag as she swept past saying I’m not sitting down here with these, (meaning her fellow passengers). Your going to fly with them on Aer Lingus love not Emirates.

Wicked has been my favourite musical, to date, I’ve seen it 10 times on stage.
Chu once again brings the world to life, the sets and costumes are visually striking. I liked the fleshing out of the world 1/2

Pillion ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 8/10 IMDb
Filled with literal and awkward funny moments. But its depiction of this area of gay culture is done well but never makes it a joke. Skarsgard and Melling give it their all. Finding a heart hidden deep within, there a powerful moments and some 1/2

Keeper ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 7/10 IMDb
“Oddgood” Perkins strikes again. Creepy atmospheric visuals help this descent into madness. Not sure if fully makes sense and I had a feeling once the major reveal is made where it would go. Maslany gives another great performance.

That’s season 4 of Stranger Things all wrapped up for the final season.
Again forgot how much happens, the stakes are amped up and the emotions run high but I loved it all over again.

The Running Man ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 7/10 IMDb
It’s a fun but little long run. Glen Powell is a fun brooding lead, with Brolin and Domingo give suitable boo-hiss villain roles.
Wright shows his visual flare but it does seem oddly muted compare to say Scott Pilgrim or Baby Driver.

5 years without this smile in my life.
I’m grateful for every laugh, smile and tear we shared in our 22 years of friendship.
Always the missing piece of my jigsaw puzzle.

Predator Badlands ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Okay if you can get on board with the side step to blockbuster territory, then this is a whole lot of fun. Prey was a far better film, but Tratchenberg has opened up the world in a way that others have wanted to and failed.
