🎥 Chief of Station, 2024 - ★★★
Just a rewatch and LettrBoxd dropped a new post to the feed. Opinion not changed. 🖇️Original Post

🎥 Jay Kelly, 2025 - ★★★

There's that expectations thing again. I started-with high hopes - but no - mainly driven-by the fact that I didn't care about any of them - oh and I still have a hard time taking Adam Sander seriously - and I guess I'm not a giant fan of George to begin with - so no idea where those high hopes came from.
That said - Jax gave it 41/2 stars 'm 'would have been more if it wasn’t such a poor ending'.
🎥 Jack Reacher: Never Go Back, 2016 - ★★★

Having just rewatched the first - would be churlish not to revisit the second. Same conclusion.
🎥 Kate & Leopold, 2001 - ★★★

I watched this 20 or more years ago - and was reminded of it whilst watching The Knight Before Christmas.
Yes - it is the same story - proving that the premise is not the problem.
🎥 The Knight Before Christmas, 2019 - ½

Not my choice. Not by choice. But watch I did. It is movies like this that will ensure that AI Slop will take over part of the entertainment industry. Dreadful.
🎥 The Lost Bus, 2025 - ★★

It has McConaughey in it - so how bad could it? Yeah. Probably his worst movie ever. Not helped by my opinion of 'fiction based on fact' dramas. But even then there are good ones. This is not one of them.
🎥 The Thursday Murder Club, 2025 - ★★★

I watched this when it first came out - with great anticipation - being a fan of the books and all - and ... sadly disappointed. Nice enough. If there was a follow up - would watch that - but definitely fell flat.
🎥 Wake Up Dead Man, 2025 - ★★★★

I am a minority .. I did not like the original Knives Out … at all. So heaven only knows why I watched the second - which I liked even less - so what possessed me to watch the third? No idea - but so glad that I did. Finally the franchise delivered.
