Haha. I’m still angry about how terrible that song turned out to be.

The Ballad of Wallis Island. Lovely stuff. Very funny, somewhat melancholic, but overall just nice.

Yeah I watched that last night too, really lovely

I’m just back from the new Jurassic thing. The reviews gave me hope but it really is very average. Seen it all before. I dont know what they are going to come up with for two more films in this new trilogy but they probably shouldn’t bother

Back down to Edinburgh for the Film Festival in August to see the first screening of my girlfriends new short film about Orkney, the sea and weather (and the local game called the ba). Very proud as it’s a beautiful wee documentary.

Took oldest daughter to see new Superman movie.

Better than I thought it would be. More timely and profound than I expected.

I saw the new Jurassic Park at the weekend and thought it was great, loved the jaws-esque section and some of the nods back to the original, plus the Xavier character. 2 hours flew by.

Friendship. Definitely one for fans of I Think You Should Leave… which I wasn’t totally sold on. Enjoyable in an uncomfortably funny way though.

Took the teens to see Fantastic Four. Four out of ten.

I secretly want to go because of the sixties vibe. I already know no-one will want to come with me.

The best part of it (other than too brief appearances by Natasha Lyonne) is the interiors and costumes. Genuinely beautiful.

This might be enough to convince my Mrs

Yeah the design and the imagined world is cool, the film/plot itself was weak IMO. The good thing is that it didn’t go on forever, which in Marvel land is a good surprise.

Bring Her Back - so many bad horror films these days but this is a really good one. Creepy af.

I want to go and see this but Midsomer and Hereditary (different directors, I know) really did numbers on me. Is this going to do my head in as well?

Yeah I loved them but I wouldn’t want to watch again really!

No, passed on Mother. Got the impression it maybe wasn’t for me
