Mrs Jones and I just back from Return of the Jedi, 3 weeks running weve seen the original 3 Star Wars trilogy. Of their time, but kinda cool. I never saw them back in the day, not sure why not really

I watched the three of them over one Christmas about a decade or so ago. Great auld yarns in fairness.

Any time a child reads a book is a good sign

Went to the Critic there this evening. Good 1930s period drama. Great performance by Ian McKellen in the title role. Good way to put in a wet Thursday afternoon

I watched Maudie there on Netflix. About Canadian folk artist Maud Lewis. A tremendous film. Tour de France performances from Sally Hawkins and Ethan Hawke. Set in Nova Scotia. Beautifully shot. Uplifting and sad and funny.

Hawke is an underrated actor he’s very good in anything he’s in.

Thinking about watching a historical film here over Christmas, but doing it kind of chronologically. Seems like Quo Vadis was the first historical film post 1945…?

Just watched Richard Jewell. Very enjoyable

Watched Conclave yesterday. Very good indeed.

Just watched a grand filum called Monkey Man, Dev Patel’s directorial debut. He wrote it and stars. Clumsy and chaotic at times, but ultimately a brilliant action movie, grim and gory. I doubt it was too popular in India, there’s some none too subtle commentary on the Modi government. A cracking movie though, 4 stars.

Same guy that wrote Red Rocket.
Tipped for lots of awards
