Here are my 'Top 16 Movies Of All Time' and a quick update of what's been going on for me over the past few weeks/why I haven't been posting many reviews recently. -------------------------------------------
Hello fellow film fans 📽 I hope you had a great Christmas and a nice New Year.

Christmas and New Year have both been absolutely mental for me this year which makes a change.
Not only have I been working a hell of a lot more than usual but I have also been spending a lot of time with my amazing girlfriend and her family, seeing my own family and friends, catching up on sleep, going to the gym and also plowing through the piles of films/games I have at home.
It seems every time I have booked to see a film at Odeon I have simply fallen asleep from pure exhaustion or been called into work which is really annoying as I really have missed going so much.
------------------------------------------
That being said this weekend I have 'Jo Jo Rabbit' and 'The Gentleman' booked so providing I have the energy you can expect reviews from both of those very soon and hopefully I can get back into the swing of things and back to doing what I enjoy.
Again thank you for all the continued support and love everyone and here's to many more cinematic adventures in 2020.

<i>Ed. Note: this review was based on a re-reading, some years after the first reading.</i>

So, prior to writing this review, I wanted to peruse the reviews on here, to see what others said, reducing the risk of writing something already said. What I found were a number of 1-Star reviews, something I found to be quite surprising!

Not every comic (or book, for that matter) will necessarily start with an amazing first arc. It may be good, yes, but it could also be polished in spots. However, despite little things that could be better, the overall content should be seen as good enough to warrant reading the second story arc.

That is how I felt at the conclusion of this first volume, a mystery of sorts that also served to introduce us to a number of characters who go on to appear as series regulars. Sure, the dialogue was not perfect (really? Comparing it to Gaiman's SANDMAN? Like trying to compare RICK & MORTY to THE LAST UNICORN!), but I can safely say that the series matures, like a well-aged wine, and later issues are much, much better.

Long and short: it's an urban fantasy with the fables we grew up with. Go in without an judgments or comparisons, and you might be pleasantly surprised. Jus' sayin'..
