I really loved Part 2 of the trilogy, a much better atmosphere!

An import from letterboxd, including all movies I add to my diary and sometimes review.
Doctor Who: The Power of Kroll, 1979 – ★★★
I actually quite enjoyed this one. It’s like Avatar except they are green instead of blue and there’s a giant squid monster.
Doctor Who: The Androids of Tara, 1978 – ★★
This review may contain spoilers.
So apparently they have the technology to seemingly instantly create a totally lifelike android replica of anyone, and yet they use it in the most stupid way ever. Also this totally lost me when there just happened to be Romana’s doppelgänger here too and she’s the princess, I mean what are the odds? And why does a story with android duplicates also need human duplicates? It’s a mess!
Tom Baker is funny as always though and for that it gets 2 stars!
Fear Street Part One: 1994, 2021 – ★★★½
Love a good slasher flick, some great 90s nostalgia (that’s when I was a teenager!) and surprisingly gory and sexy for what at first might seem like for kids.
I’m not that happy with how it ended but let’s see how the trilogy pans out!
Also: yay, lesbians!
Bo Burnham: Make Happy, 2016 – ★★½
Better than What but still pretty basic humour, lots of dick jokes. Really not for me. The last song was very good though, that’s about all I can say for it.
Bo Burnham: What., 2013 – ★½
Watched this after watching (and loving) “Inside”. I cringed through most of it. It was just ugh.
Bo Burnham: Inside, 2021 – ★★★★½

Doctor Who: The Stones of Blood, 1978 – ★★½
The stones are just too slow to be threatening!
Doctor Who: The Pirate Planet, 1978 – ★★★½
A very imaginative story although somewhat let down by the special effects and the budget! Douglas Adams has a lot of fun here.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars, 2008 – ★★★

Unfriended: Dark Web, 2018 – ★★★

Catherine Tate – Nan’s Christmas Carol, 2010 – ★★★★½

Doctor Who: The Invasion of Time, 1978 – ★
The first episode was intriguing. But then it was all downhill from there. Irritatingly nonsensical and made the TARDIS look like a community centre. I can see where Moffat got the idea of there being a swimming pool in the TARDIS, I just never thought I’d see a Sontaran trip over a deck chair.
Embarrassing. And Leela deserved better.
Doctor Who: Underworld, 1978 – ½
K-9 had it right. “Negative!”
Doctor Who: The Sun Makers, 1977 – ★★★½
I actually really liked this one. The Collector was genius, bring him back to New Who!
Captain America: The First Avenger, 2011 – ★★★
Watched on Monday May 3, 2021.
Doctor Who: Image of the Fendahl, 1977 – ★
Absolutely awful. One star for the Grandma character, who was brilliant.
Doctor Who: Horror of Fang Rock, 1977 – ★★★
