Drama… Movie #150 2021: Love, Simon (2018) 6 Jun 20212 Jun 2021 I was well aware that Love, Simon was a bit of a phenomenon, but the truth is... I rarely like LGBTQ+ movies. Unless they're as beautiful as Portrait of a…
Cerebral… Movie #140 2021: Things Heard & Seen (2021) 27 May 202123 May 2021 Here's something you already know: Netflix original films are generally not brilliant. Barring a few anomalies like The Irishman, Marriage Story and The Mitchells vs. the Machines, the streaming giant…
Awards Season… Movie #126 2021: The Mauritanian (2021) 13 May 20214 May 2021 Most people were extremely 'meh' in their reactions to The Mauritanian, so I completely expected to feel similarly about it. Weirdly, it seems as though I enjoyed this movie much…

Comedy… Movie #54 2021: To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before (2018) 2 Mar 202117 Feb 2021 As of last month, this movie is now part of a trilogy. Movies don’t usually get sequels unless they’re super popular, right? To make sure I was keeping up with…
crime… Movie #31 2021: The Bone Collector (1999) 6 Feb 202128 Jan 2021 Yes, I unintentionally watched two Angelina Jolie movies in quick succession. Is that a bad thing? Not at all! The Bone Collector is actually not too dissimilar to Taking Lives…
Action… Movie #6 2021: The Long Goodbye (1973) 12 Jan 20216 Jan 2021 Robert Altman is a director that has so far eluded me. Whilst his 1975 musical comedy-drama Nashville is top of my watchlist, it never seems to be available anywhere, so…
