Wake Up Dead Man

Wake Up Dead Man; 3rd instalment delivers on everything expected; intriguing mystery, clever dialogue handled by exceptional actors, levity that hits in the film & as commentary on our real world. Changes of setting + characters makes this an evergreen delight, a fresh energy to a solid formula; A

The School for Good and Evil

The School for Good and Evil; The cast is having a blast, the visuals are scrumptious but the pacing & lore seems to struggle with whether this is a series, a franchise or an overlong feature film. Actors are excellently cast and play the dualities nicely. Overstuffed but fun; B-

The Prom

The Prom; Technicolour transfer of stage musical seems hand picked for Murphy’s Glee pedigree. A-list cast + musical veterans excel and revel in their roles, while pushing the focus of the film’s LGBTQ2 couple off screen to a degree. Still, loads of fun numbers for everyone; B+

Django Unchained

Django Unchained; Waltz's scene chewing is a treat to watch but film is over long and not as fun to watch as Tarantino's other work; B+
