Sea Fever
It’s the mark of a great thriller when it hits the most well-worn horror tropes and you barely notice, nor care at all
Resistance

Uncut Gems

Jumanji: The Next Level

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker
Fans will be pleased, they said, it’s for the fans, they said
Ford v Ferrari

Knives Out
Mystery-comedies don’t get made very much, nor do flicks that would have Agatha Christie queuing up
