I rated A Quiet Place: Day One (2024) 8/10 I was expecting a run of the mill origin story, without the intimacy of the first two films. Instead, this was a wonderful movie about the beauty of humanity. What a nice surprise. imdb.com/title/tt134338…


The Telegraph has arrived on Apple News. That’s cool I thought, until I started to read. What an absolute cess pit of petty minded, passive aggressive, petulant contributors it is.


I’ve only seen two episodes, but this review pretty much gets it right in my view. It far from being great, but I can’t actually understand the utter dislike that many hold for it

I rated Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) 9/10 This movie feels very different to Fury Road. Much more like the original Mad Max, maybe the Road Warrior also. This took me aback at first, but then I settled into it and loved it. Can’t wait to see it again! imdb.com/title/tt120371…


I rated Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (2024) 5/10 Made no sense, the emotional scenes were embarrassing, and anything outside of the action scenes were mind numbingly boring imdb.com/title/tt113898…


I rated Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga (2020) 9/10 This gets better every year imdb.com/title/tt8580274


I rated Argylle (2024) 4.5/10 Mostly a dud. Lots of problems, the biggest of which is a love story where the main characters have absolutely no chemistry. imdb.com/title/tt150094…


I rated 3 Body Problem (2024–2024) 4/10 The main characters are so unappealing or obnoxious, I had to give up. Oh, and it’s utterly boring imdb.com/title/tt130163…


I rated Men (2022) 8/10 This takes a pounding on the IMDB ratings. I thought it was exquisitely crafted, oppressive and mental, in equal measure. imdb.com/title/tt138418…


I rated Masters of the Air 9/10 Cinematic television with an old fashioned feel, which I liked. Scenes in the air were stunning and brutal. Loved most of the characters but was left cold by one of the leads. The Tuskegee Airmen were weirdly shoehorned.

I rated Road House (2024) 2/10 What’s the point of a film like this? Utter garbage imdb.com/title/tt3359350


Some recent board gaming ….


Classic Power Grid. A total golden oldie that’s buttery smooth to play.

Coal Baron, the card game. Great to get this on the table again.

Hamburg, the re-theming of Bruges. Not sure if I like this or the original better.

The beautiful remake of Princes of Florence. Totally elevates this classic euro game.

I rated The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin (2024– ) 9/10 So far, so surreal. Mighty Boosh and more. I like it a lot. imdb.com/title/tt195160…
