  1. Freud's Last Session [2023] Sigmund Freud invites iconic author C.S. Lewis to debate the existence of God. And his unique relationship with his daughter, and Lewis' unconventional relationship with his best friend's mother. A top thespian who can read the phone book and make it interesting does the same with an otherwise bland, imagined meeting of the minds that probably never happened.
  2. The Creator [2023] Against the backdrop of a war between humans and robots with artificial intelligence, a former soldier finds the secret weapon, a robot in the form of a young child. A timely sci-fi reminder, visually stunning with more action than character development apart from the usual stereotypical good guys vs bad guys that is tiresome, filmed in Thailand and worth a look for those into the sci-fi genre.
  3. Bodies [2023 TV Limited Series] Four detectives in four different time periods of London find themselves investigating the same murder. If you are into the time travel genre this is worth a look and it's got Stephen Graham in it! For the rest of us it will just wash over like wallpaper and it won't need engaging the brain as the whole thing seems preposterous.
  4. Rustin [2023] Activist Bayard Rustin faces racism and homophobia as he helps change the course of Civil Rights history by orchestrating the 1963 March on Washington. An outstanding lead performance steals every scene in this historical story telling that is otherwise tiresome format.
  5. Poor Things [2023] The incredible tale about the fantastical evolution of Bella Baxter, a young woman brought back to life by the brilliant and unorthodox scientist Dr. Godwin Baxter. Loosely based on a 90's book set in Glasgow, this is re-imagined elsewhere in a breathtaking visual production, steampunk retro, anarchic, emotional, funny, one of the year's most original and memorable movies from a director known for the bizarre.
  6. The Zone Of Interest [2023] Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Höss and his wife Hedwig strive to build a dream life for their family in a house and garden beside the camp. Unique and stark depiction of the inhumanity of war criminals. Worth seeing and leaves so much to the imagination.
  7. One Life [2023] The true story of Sir Nicholas Winton, a young London broker who, in the months leading up to World War II, rescued over 660 children from Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia in the operation known as Kindertransport. What starts off as a run of the mill war film ends in the TV studios of That’s Life when the story took on a new life. Strong performances makes this very watchable.
  8. Bleeding Love [2023] A father takes his estranged daughter on a road trip in an effort to get her into rehab. Along the way they meet all types of strangers, as their strained relationship is put to the test and confuses matters. Average road trip movie meanders all over the place despite immersing us into images of rural America, the whole premise reeks of a true life father/daughter vanity project.
  9. Miller's Girl [2024] A creative writing assignment yields complex results between a teacher and his talented student. Mediocre attempt by Freeman on his foray into the USA movie scene, this story is beyond pretentious despite two decent performances.
  10. American Fiction [2023] A novelist fed up with the establishment profiting from Black entertainment uses a pen name to write a book that propels him into the heart of the hypocrisy and madness he claims to disdain. Clever American biting drama comedy that is more poignant on home soil, the main satirical premise and fun part is cancelled somewhat by the serious background family drama. Up for awards so worth a look.
  11. Welcome To Wrexham [2022 TV Series] Docuseries chronicling the purchase and stewardship of Wrexham AFC, one of professional football's oldest clubs, by two Hollywood actors, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. Two series now complete with a third in the making, this is one of the better football docuseries to be made, full of passion and laughs with some self-deprecating humor from the new to the scene owners thrown in.
  12. Butcher's Crossing [2023] An Ivy League drop-out travels to the Colorado wilderness, where he joins a team of buffalo hunters on a journey that puts his life and sanity at risk. Based on the highly acclaimed novel by John Williams. This flawed American dream story, based on the massacre of the nation's buffaloes, succeeds with Cage giving a controlled performance. Good old school western.
