My top 10 films of the year...

1. Joker
2. Midsommar
3. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
4. Doctor Sleep
5. Avengers: Endgame
6. Marriage Story
7. Toy story 4
8. Us
9. John Wick 3: Parabellum
10. Spider-Man: Far From Home

I still haven't got round to watching The Irishman, Parasite, El Camino, or Dragged Across Concrete yet so I'm sure this will probably change!

Also, Frozen II just missed out, but it's legit great 🤞

My pick for most disappointing film of the year goes to The Lion King without a doubt.👎

The human villian duo (0 more)

Considering this moster movie was based on an 80s arcade game (that I barely remember playing on the Nintendo) it was surprisingly good. Sure it is a bit campy at some points its not over the top like some other 80s video game movie adaptations I could name. There's a well rounded cast of characters, my biggest issue is the villainous brother and sister the acting at times seemed staged (not wooden but like read lines?) they were ok but more meh.
Good movie for a few cheap jump scares, wonton destruction and some good laughs.

Great revenge action film

This is a very good revenge action film from the director of Saw, spot the Jigsaw face! The story as with a lot of these films is a bit over the top. Kevin Bacon starts as a calm mild mannered white collar worker who suddenly changes into a raw hate filled father after the death of his son. Pretty handy with a range of guns all of a sudden as well. Apart from that the film is great and has plenty of decent action scenes and some great performances from the two lead characters.

Fantastic D&D lite game

I was very sceptical of this game as it's clearly a reinterpretation of the world's most famous role playing game. However it is a fine reimagining of said game into the structure of a boxed table top rpg. The minis and maps are great, there are plenty of characters to choose from and the missions have a great amount of diversity. There's even leveling of characters to bring them more skills. Overall its very enjoyable and complex even if its themes are quite familiar.

Andrew Kennedy (199 KP) rated The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992) in Movies

I love the Muppets.
This film is the best of many retellings of Dickens classic ghost tale.
Gonzo is my favourite as Charles Dickens, his narration along with Rizzlo the rat is humorous and fun.
Kermit as Bob Crachit as the lead book keeper is amusing and his team of rats are hilarious.
Michael Caine plays Scrooge who's path of redemption is believable as he is visted by three ghosts who show Scrooge the errors of his ways.
Also, the songs are catchy.
Disney tried other versions but none can top this one. A true Christmas classic to watch every year.

Top bitesize TV series

Finally got round to watching this after hearing many good reviews. A very short series of 6 episodes and only 25 minute long episodes. It follows the life of a 30 year old dealing with life, relationships, family, love, grief and sex. It's very funny with a sharp, witty script. It's similar to @Peep Show - Season 1 in some ways, breaking the 4th wall talking to the viewer. Also similar tone but this time from a female perspective. If you haven't seen it yet check it out!
