Films, films, films...

With the weather having been un-Summery, and with me being forced to isolate recently, I have managed to see a few movies that had either a) passed me by, or b) begged me for a repeat viewing. I’m not in the mood to write long reviews of all of them, but I don’t want to fob you off with a simple, truncated line of highlights. So here I bring back (because I’m pretty certain I’ve done this before) RORY’S 10-WORD FILM THOUGHTS:

21 Grams – Not a barrel of laughs, but wonderfully acted and filmed.
The French Connection – Slightly dated, but deserving of its status as a ‘classic’.
Aliens – 35 years old! Still sets the bar for action movies.
The Peanut Butter Falcon – Beautiful. Funny. Inspiring. Poignant. Beautiful. Ground-breaking. Did I mention ‘beautiful’?
All Is True – The first thing involving Ben Elton worth watching since Blackadder.
Lucky – Instantly on my all-time favourite list. RIP Harry Dean Stanton.

And hyphenated words count as one word, and so do numbers, and so do acronyms, so shut up.
