![]() It could easily be argued that Charlie Chaplin was the best at slapstick comedy in the silent era, but no one did stunt comedy like Harold Lloyd. For someone like me with a fear if heights there are a few really anxious moments watching this.

![]() I found it a bit of a drag to be honest. ![]() I'd not seen this one from the Disney main animated canon before. It was quite a lot of fun. ![]() The TV movie finale of the sitcom Plebs. A lot of crazy fun, as usual and a good ending to the show. ![]() Brilliant 2022 horror movie.

![]() Another Christmas comedy I'd never seen before. Not Bill Murray's best, but there's a great supporting cast - Robert Mitchum, John Houseman, Bobcat Goldthwaite, Carol Kane, Nancy Allen...

I can take Will Ferrell up to a point, and I even find him pretty funny at times, but too much of him is almost always a pain.

![]() Still funny as fuck no matter how many times I see it. Jim: [consoling Bart, who is upset that his attempts to be cordial with the citizens of Rock Ridge led to him being racially insulted] What did you expect? "Welcome, sonny"? "Make yourself at home"? "Marry my daughter"? You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons.

![]() Not nearly as annoying as I thought it would be. Will Ferrell has fun being an idiot while several then better known actors give him the platform for his idiocy.

Eternals (2021). I was entertained but nothing too special really.

I've got behind here again. My film intake has lessened a bit recently but I've watched the following in the last couple of weeks:
![]() Watchable enough I guess. Nothing too exciting here. ![]() Crap. ![]() Solid, intriguing thriller. ![]() Very slow burning, but it has a kind of charm. ![]() I have seen no earlier version of All Quiet on the Western Front, but this third adaptation, the first actually made by Germany, is brilliant. ![]() I usually like Paul Thomas Anderson films, but this one feels very much like a nothing picture to me. I also refuse to believe it would have got made if the ages of the two main characters were swapped around: 15 year old girl with a 25 year old man instead of a 15 year old boy with a 25 year old woman. For that reason, the film actually made me uncomfortable as hell. Would not recommend. ![]() Actually not bad for what it is. Seen far worse out of all the horror films I've randomly streamed over the years. ![]() Middling watchable. ![]() Brilliant though bittersweet come the finish. ![]() A few decent scenes here and there but overall feels like they maybe should have tried to confine it closer to 90 minutes than 2 hours. I feel like half the film went by before it really started to hold my attention.

![]() Trying to get a bit of Christmas spirit by watching Christmas movies. This is a miss. Fun movie, but deeply superficial.

![]() Saw this about 30 years ago. Turns out it's even sillier than I remember. Still, some good tunes, and Ozzy Osbourne as a televangelist is a nice touch.

![]() Quite decent. Doesn't pan out quite as you'd expect, although it's early twist has been done before more famously (cough *Psycho* cough). ![]() Based on actual events, but this one just goes to show that reality doesn't necessarily mean it's a good idea to make a movie about it. A dreary presentation that feels lifeless throughout. ![]() Solid little thriller.

![]() Not sure I'll be able to watch actor Sebastian Stan (the MCU's Winter Soldier) the same way again after this role. Disney+ sure harbours some dark and disturbing shit under the Star banner. A good film if you can stomach it though.

![]() I thought I'd seen this, but on watching it I don't remember any of it. Anyway, it's Hitchcock at the peak of his powers, and Cary Grant was perfectly cast in the lead role.

![]() Not without tension but at the end of the day it's a home invasion thriller where the protagonist spends the bulk of the film trapped in a walk in closet.

![]() Liked this a lot. It gives Millie Bobby Brown more scope to show off her acting range than Stranger Things. It's also good to see an understated Henry Cavill, Helena Bonham Carter showing off unconventional parenting skills, and a perpetually confused Adeel Akhtar.

![]() The funniest fucking thing I've seen in ages! Daniel Radcliffe in what will prove to be his career defining role.

I've also been on a nostalgia kick and have been re-visiting the animated Disney catalogue. I'm mostly not bothering to post these here, but oh boy, this one has no aged well:
![]() I never realised as a kid just how overtly racist this is. And a bit sexist too. The remake is probably going to suck, but this is the first instance where I actually understand Disney wanting to remake one of their older films. This was fucking uncomfortable to watch.
