An interesting dive into Demacia and the evils of oppression, though a little lacking in true depth.

The ridiculously sublime adventures of Rick Castle and his much more qualified friends. Not exactly high art, but a whole lot of fun, with greater depth and better plots than it needed.

A masterwork of storytelling and creative direction, with some exceptional skits and a poignant meta-narrative on isolation, mental health, and the pandemic, though a little lacking in Burnham's trademark stinging wit and wordplay.

A beautiful fantasy world, but lacking in the depth needed to really invest in the story. Just watch Avatar: TLA instead, it does the whole thing better.

A decent fleshing out of two interesting characters from the MCU, with a solid ending and some powerful themes, yet ultimately let down by a lacklustre first half and a generally poor, rushed execution.

A by-the-numbers college caper that's fun enough, but falls far short of the original and just feels a little loose in its own right.

Utterly inventive, brilliantly funny, and beautifully crafted. The central plot is a little by-the-numbers, but everything else is as original as they come, and the movie shines as a result.

An absolutely brilliant new contender for the office comedy crown, with an exceptional cast and a surprisingly nuanced, modern, and human set of characters. There are some dips in certain seasons, but for the most part it continues to be charming, witty, and heartfelt.

A competent fleshing out of the wider Star Wars narrative in a way that gives a lot of much-loved characters room to breath. Nicely builds on the themes of the prequels whilst setting in play the themes of the original trilogy at the same time.

A solid piece of spec-bio with a diverse range of specialists involved, though a little overly simplified in terms of the science presented and with a slightly lacklustre final episode.

A nuanced lens shone on a particular moment in history, with an incredible cast and a brilliant script, albeit one probably better placed on a stage (as the original was intended) than on film.

An indie flick filmed on a tight budget that still manages a much better modernisation of vampire mythology than Twilight, with a great cast and some excellent deadpan comedy thrown throughout.
