I used to do 'movie of the week' back before lockdown when I went to the cinema most weeks with my moviebuddy, H. Instead of an in depth piece on each movie, here's what I recall... movies are not in any particular order...
We mask-up and go to the Showcase Cinema in Batley - one of those with luxury reclining seats and plenty of space. Still being Covid-careful, we usually go to an early showing on a Tuesday when there are few customers. Sometimes we even get the cinema to ourselves. We skip school holidays unless we're going to see something we think won't have kid-appeal.
- Top Gun - Maverick - Excellent. Tom Cruise looks hardly any older than he did in the first TG. How does he do it?
- Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness - Both strange and mad. Glad I saw it but I won't be rushing to watch it again.
- Downton Abbey, A New Era - Yeah I'm a Downton fan, so I lapped this up
- Fantastic Beasts, The Secrets of Dumbledore - Frankly a bit meh I keep trying to like the Fantastic Beasts films and failing.
- The Lost City - Excellent fun. Good cast. Sandra Bullock is always woth watching in these kind of caper movies. Dan Radcliffe makes a good villain.
- Dog - Channing Tatum was excellent, and so was the dog.
- The Duke - Very sweet. Jim Broadbent was delightful.
- Death on the Nile: Better than Orient Express though Brannagh's tash enters every room ahead of him.
- Morbius - Utterly forgettable. In fact I forgot everything about it and had to look it up online just to put it on this list
- Uncharted - Good fun, much better than I expected.
- Cyrano - Peter Dinklage is brilliant.
- Moonfall - totally forgettable

I'm not sure what to say about this movie. Did I enjoy it? Yes. Would I like to watch it again? Not particularly.
