  Add Sherwood to your for later shelf

  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Compelling British tv series set in Sherwood. A shocking murder opens up tensions from the 1980s when mine closures and strikes divided the community. The acting is outstanding - standouts are David Morrissey, Lorraine Ashbourne, Lesley…Read moreRead more of this annotation

• How to Have Sex

  ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not, as the name might indicate, an instructive documentary. Three British teenage girls go on a rites-of-passage holiday in the sun, and it's real as. Mia McKenna-Bruce as Tara is a revelation.

• Killing Eve

  ⭐⭐⭐⭐ You can't look away from Villanelle and Eve! Jodie Comer and Sandra Oh rock the joint as the assassin and intelligence investigator in a compelling cat-and-mouse chase across Europe. Kim Bodnia as Konstantin and Fiona Shaw as Carolyn are…Read moreRead more of this annotation

• In Bruges

  Add In Bruges to your for later shelf

  ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A classic for a reason - this is black comedy that can make you cry. Colin Farrell and Brendon Gleeson as hitmen with Ralph Fiennes as their wild boss are a brilliant team.

• The Favourite

  Add The Favourite to your for later shelf

  ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I like my historical fiction and movies with a good dose of dirt, and this one had that aplenty. The three main women in this acted up a storm.

• Stand by Me

  King, Stephen, 1947-

  ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another rewatch that was worth the time - a classic coming of age.

• Pretty Woman

  Add Pretty Woman to your for later shelf

  ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thoroughly enjoyed rewatching this classic. Julia Roberts is perfection - she is radiant and fun, and I also love her flatmate Laura San Giacomo and unexpected advocate hotel manager Hector Elizondo. Jason Alexander is a rotter!

• Priscilla

  Presley, Priscilla Beaulieu, 1945-

  ⭐⭐⭐ and a half. Sofia Coppola's aesthetic sensibility conveys Graceland as a gilded cage.

• What We Do in the Shadows

  Add What We Do in the Shadows to your for later shelf

  ⭐⭐⭐ and a half. Kiwi classic movie. I like the tv show better though.

• The Meddler

  Add The Meddler to your for later shelf

  ⭐⭐⭐ and a half. A surprisingly sweet mother-daughter relationship tale starring Susan Sarandon and Rose Byrne.

• Civil War

  Add Civil War to your for later shelf

  ⭐⭐⭐ If anything, a bit mild in its depiction of the United States during a civil war.
