🎥 The Usual Suspects, 1995 - ★★★★½

I just spotted that Giancarlo Esposito was in this - and I decided that I should add a review - because it was ... is ... so good.

🎥 To Catch a Killer, 2023 - ★★★

It started well … it went on fine .. until the last 15 minutes. Queued up for a sequel .. but I don’t think so.

🎥 Babygirl, 2024 - ★★

I went because some friends recommended it. What a pile of drivel.

🎥 A Complete Unknown, 2024 - ★★★★

I appreciate Bob - not a fan - but I do go see these biopics as they come out, because music. Definitely one of the best of that particular genre. Of course Timothy did a great job - but so did Edward Norton - and then some. I only hope people didn't watch it as a documentary. I mean they will - and history will be rewritten accordingly. A shame really - but do try to watch it.

🎥 Queer, 2024 - ★★★★

Outside of Layer Cake - one of the best Daniel Craig movies outside of his Bond work that I have seen. I hadn't registered that it was a William Burroughs story when I first saw it and so my initial - leaving the theatre thought was .. not clear. Mainly because it wasn't what I expected. Once I joined the dots. YUP - pieces fell into place. BUT - holy mackerel - Jason Schwartzman - another one of those side roles that might just slip you by. Excellent all round - and even the end all made sense - in the end.

🎥 The Miracle Club, 2023 - ★★★½

One of those lovely little movies that you come across and get into and when it all ends you are sad.

🎥 Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, 2024 - ★★★★

How could you ever NOT love Wallace and Grommit - so good.

🎥 Ferry 2, 2024 - ★★★

I watched the series and then I watched [🖇️ the first movie](https://john.philpin.com/2025/02/11/ferry.html) and then I watched this second movie .. and I dunno - I keep watching them - but they don't get better. But somehow I am drawn in. No explanation.

🎥 Ferry, 2021 - ★★★

Watched it a while back - so logging it here. Not bad - but maybe watch the series first to garner some context.

🎥 Carry-On, 2024 - ★★★

I like both actors - so despite the warnings of ‘the new diehard’ I ploughed ahead. it was a fine movie - but both actors have substantially better performances and films/shows on their cv.
