It’s a Sin, 2021 – ★★★★★
Absolutely devastating. So important that we remember what happened. Now I’m gonna go cry some more.

It was a good setup but the ending really ruined it for me. Plus why didn't they try going out a back window from the ground floor?

Beware the Slenderman, 2016 – ★★½
I didn’t know what to expect, and actually for a while thought this was fiction. The truth of it is quite shocking. The documentary is a bit too long and unfocused. Such a terrible tragedy for everyone involved.

Return of the Jedi, 1983 – ★★★★½
Actually this is the best Star War so far. I don’t care what anyone says, Ewoks are the best.
This was a really good one. Despite it being 6 episodes it was very fast paced and exciting. Even if the monster was a bit silly!

The Empire Strikes Back, 1980 – ★★★★½
The best Star War yet

Star Wars, 1977 – ★★★½
The first Star War. Not actually as good as I remember. And the new CGI added in sticks out like a sore thumb. I know this is probably sacrilegious but I found it all a bit meh.
The best of the prequel movies

Into the Woods, 2014 – ★★★½
I know it butchers the original’s ending and plot really, and the last half hour is bleak and boring, but I just love the songs!

I went into this blind, knowing only how highly rated it was. It deserves all the praise. Masterpiece!

It’s not very good :-/

The Lion King, 2019 – ★★½
Technically amazing but still somehow pales in comparison to the original. You can’t sympathise with these characters, they don’t seem to have any emotion. Plus the songs are bad 🚮

Doctor Who: Planet of Evil, 1975 – ★½
This was really boring and the plot was nonsense!

The Zygons are a really interesting race, let down by terrible plot and the Loch Ness Monster. I’m glad they came back for the 50th anniversary and the 12th Doctor 2-parter because they were much better utilised there!
Oh and 3 times they leave Sarah Jane on her own to get kidnapped!
Very disappointing!

Frozen II, 2019 – ★★★½

Too short, not enough happens. It’s mostly just running away from a big robot and South Africans.
Now this is more like it! A very good episode, especially when you realise this was made before “Alien”. However the alien design was a bit rubbish and Sarah Jane was underused.

Doctor Who: Robot, 1975 – ★★★
“There’s no point in being grown up if you can’t be childish sometimes” - The Doctor
Tom Baker is a delight. The story is a bit rubbish though and the effects are unintentionally hilarious.
What a mess! But a fitting end to Pertwee’s era - my least favourite Doctor so far in this massive marathon of Doctor Who.
Awful, slow, boring!
Dull, slow, bloated with ideas and terribly executed. This one stinks!
Ok so the special effects are terrible, the plot is as mad as a hatter and the Brig *still* has trouble believing the Doctor despite all he’s seen, yet this was one of the most interesting, twisty and exciting serial I’ve seen yet. Sarah-Jane is an excellent companion!

Now this was a very good story - my only complaints are that Cliff is very rude to Jo, and the link between the maggots and BOSS is rather tenuous. But overall a great one!

Looking: The Movie, 2016 – ★★★★★
This review may contain spoilers.
It’s not a standalone movie. Think of it more as “season 3” compressed into one package.
As the season finale this was almost perfect. I may not agree with what happened in the end, but it was the right thing for Patrick.
The scene with Kevin made me sob. I watched it again afterwards and it had the same effect. It’s so moving!
