An import from letterboxd, including all movies I add to my diary and sometimes review.
Tiny Tim makes me cry every time ?
Coherence, 2013 – ★★★½
Clever, intriguing, interesting. I liked it!
Doctor Who: The Awakening, 1984 – ★★
What the heck did I just watch? One of these stars is for the final TARDIS scene which was delightful.

The cameos were wonderful and some of them unexpected. The Doctors together was great, love the bickering, and now I see where the inspiration for the 50th anniversary came from.
This could have been 5 stars if the plot was any good and if the resolution to the story wasn’t rubbish!
Boring and weird but mercifully short!
Knives Out, 2019 – ★★★★½
Loved this movie!
Marry me, Mariner! ❤️
Doctor Who: Terminus, 1983 – ★
It started off interesting but quickly deteriorated.
This was a pretty good one! I liked the time travel stuff, definitely not done enough in the classic series!
No Time to Die, 2021 – ★½
I just found this really boring and ridiculous.
Doctor Who: Snakedance, 1983 – ★★½

Squid Game, 2021 – ★★★½

I really liked the first half. My kind of show, and it was very intriguing to see where it would all go.
Unfortunately the last few episodes were a bit of a disappointment, and there were characters who ultimately didn’t mean anything at all.
Nice plot twist at the end though…
West Side Story, 1961 – ★★★★
Watched on Sunday October 31, 2021.
It was… fine, I guess. I was genuinely surprised at one point where we saw the return of (spoiler).
Doctor Who: Time-Flight, 1982 – ★
This was actually awful, and probably the reason Concorde was decommissioned.
Doctor Who: Earthshock, 1982 – ★★★★
Unfortunately I was spoiled as to the significance of this story, but it was still really enjoyable!
Midsommar, 2019 – ★★
I didn’t like it
Halloween Kills, 2021 – ★★

Halloween, 2018 – ★★★
Watched on Thursday October 14, 2021.
Doctor Who: The Visitation, 1982 – ★
Boring story, too much being locked up, and all the TARDIS team are bickering all the time, including The Doctor who frankly should know how to behave!
Doctor Who: Kinda, 1982 – ★★★

Midnight Mass, 2021 – ★★★★★

They Live, 1988 – ★★★

Aliens invented capitalism
I’m so glad The Sarah Jane Adventures is nothing like this
For such an important episode this doesn’t half drag on!
Not sure I understood it. But it was interesting, I’ll give it that!
This is the future I want to see.

Doctor Who: Full Circle, 1980 – ★★½
Watched on Monday September 6, 2021.
Doctor Who: Meglos, 1980 – ★½
I can’t believe they had Jacqueline Hill back but instead of casting her as Barbara again and having a wonderful reunion with The Doctor they make her a priestess. It’s like if Billy Piper returned to the show and instead of casting her as Rose she is playing someone different… oh wait, bad example ?
The story was awful, as were the special effects. Tom Baker was delightful as always though and I’m really warming up to Romana II.
Doctor Who: Shada, 2017 – ★★★½
This story is almost legendary, having never been finished but then been recreated. Shame it’s not Adams’ best work. City of Death was much better.

Doctor Who versus the cock and balls. I actually thought this was well scripted and well acted on the whole! I really liked it.
Friday the 13th Part 2, 1981 – ★★★½
Watched on Friday August 20, 2021.
Hellraiser, 1987 – ★
Watched in anticipation of Pinhead being added to Dead by Daylight. Did not like.
You’re Next, 2011 – ★★★

It's either very gay or very homophobic, not sure which really.
The best episode of Classic Who yet, and it is a classic! Absolutely brilliant!

Oh dear this is terrible - the Daleks are constantly referred to as “robots” and “computers” but they are creatures in tanks! So the whole plot doesn’t make sense. Plus Davros sounds wrong and Romana’s regeneration is insultingly bad.
Fear Street: 1666, 2021 – ★★★★
A satisfying end to the trilogy of movies, they were very good!
Massive anticlimax to the series-long story arc (if you can call it that!). Just bad.
Fear Street: 1978, 2021 – ★★★★
I really loved Part 2 of the trilogy, a much better atmosphere!
I actually quite enjoyed this one. It’s like Avatar except they are green instead of blue and there’s a giant squid monster.
