| CODA | 2021 | 4 | Can’t fault it. | AppleTV+ | 05/04/2024 |

| All of Us Strangers | 2023 | 4 | Unique. | Disney+ | 23/08/2024 |
| First Man | 2018 | 3.5 | Good. | Plex | 29/02/2024 |
| Rushmore | 1998 | 3.5 | Just a hint of Wes before he really let loose. But it holds up well and is still a great coming of age movie. | Disney+ | 22/02/2024 |
| Love, Simon | 2018 | 3.5 | Can’t fault it, solid feel good/coming of age movie. | Disney+ | 29/02/2024 |
| Call Me by Your Name | 2017 | 3.5 | Interesting sound editing, great sets and cast. Plot wise, still unsure about Elio being 17, how should this be taken. A coming of age tale or a story about grooming. That his parents encouraged. | Netflix | 07/02/2024 |
| Say Anything… | 1989 | 3.5 | Easy going non-offensive, aged well. John Mahoney was great. | Plex | 20/02/2024 |
| Saltburn | 2023 | 3.5 | Very dark but great. | Prime | 14/01/2024 |

| Professor Marston and the Wonder Women | 2017 | 3.5 | Could have had more depth but was interesting. Perhaps a little ahead of its time. | Plex | 23/01/2024 |
| 99 Homes | 2014 | 3.5 | Pretty good. | Netflix | 27/01/2024 |
| Finch | 2021 | 3.5 | Enjoyable. | AppleTV+ | 03/04/2024 |
| Vicky Cristina Barcelona | 2008 | 3.5 | Simple, but complex, easy to watch. If you can put aside who made it. | Prime | 04/04/2024 |
| Tetris | 2023 | 3.5 | Enjoyable. Probably not that accurate. | AppleTV+ | 09/04/2024 |
| Civil War | 2024 | 3.5 | Bleak, tense and disturbingly possible. | Everyman | 19/04/2024 |
| Bottoms | 2023 | 3.5 | Nailed it, this was great. A satirical sometimes dark parody of a teen comedy. Better than Booksmart. | Prime | 14/06/2024 |
| The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare | 2024 | 3.5 | Pretty good. | Plex | 28/06/2024 |
| The Iron Claw | 2023 | 3.5 | Could have hit a bit harder in places, probably glossed over the steroid abuse. But good. | Prime | 24/07/2024 |
| Deadpool & Wolverine | 2024 | 3.5 | More entertaining than 99.99% of Marvel movies. | Everyman | 27/07/2024 |
| Hail, Caesar! | 2016 | 3.5 | Great movie. | Prime | 21/08/2024 |
| Cha Cha Real Smooth | 2022 | 3.5 | Good enough to ignore Dakota Johnson’s acting (or lack thereof). | AppleTV+ | 29/10/2024 |
| Shithouse | 2020 | 3.5 | Nailed it. | Prime | 30/10/2024 |
| The Outfit | 2022 | 3 | It was ok. | Netflix | 14/02/2024 |
| Man of the Year | 2006 | 3 | Not that unlikely of a scenario. The first half is good then it’s a bit iffy and ends well enough. | Prime | 01/03/2024 |
| Triangle of Sadness | 2022 | 3 | Dragged a little. Had parasite vibes. I got the point but they labored it. | Prime | 22/01/2024 |
| Red Rocket | 2021 | 3 | Concerning. Taken at face value. | Netflix | 18/01/2024 |
| The Kid Detective | 2020 | 3 | Much darker than expected, could have gone further though. But I enjoyed the unexpected side against the comedy. | all4 | 08/03/2024 |
| Killers of the Flower Moon | 2023 | 3 | Drawn out, an interesting story but could have been told better. The ending summary was good. | AppleTV+ | 27/03/2024 |
| Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning | 2023 | 3 | Mildly entertaining. Absolutely ridiculous plot, basically a mashup of all standard action/spy movie tropes. Far too long. | Now | 31/03/2024 |
| Gran Turismo | 2023 | 3 | A bit TV movie but not bad. | Now | 12/04/2024 |
| The Hummingbird Project | 2018 | 3 | Not bad | Prime | 24/04/2024 |

| Hot Summer Nights | 2017 | 3 | It was ok. | Prime | 12/06/2024 |

| Bad Tidings | 2024 | 3 | Fun, simple Christmas Movie. | Now | 30/12/2024 |
| The Paperboy | 2012 | 2.5 | Really not very compelling. A lot of scenes thrown in as shock perhaps but don’t really add to it. | Plex | 20/02/2024 |
| The King | 2019 | 2.5 | Rpatz French accent was hilarious. | Netflix | 05/03/2024 |

| Scoop | 2024 | 2.5 | It was ok | Netflix | 11/04/2024 |

| IF | 2024 | 2.5 | Not bad. | Plex | 14/07/2024 |
| Blue Valentine | 2010 | 2.5 | “Depressing, but now one of my favourite movie quotes: Cindy: I’d like to see you have a job where you don’t have to start drinking at 8 o’clock, in the morning, to go to it. Dean: No, I have a job that I can drink at 8 o’clock in the morning. What a luxury, you know? I get up for work, I have a beer, I go to work, I paint somebody’s house – they’re excited about it.” | Prime | 30/08/2024 |
| Flora and Son | 2023 | 2.5 | Not bad. | AppleTV+ | 15/10/2024 |
| Raymond & Ray | 2022 | 2.5 | Not bad. | AppleTV+ | 17/10/2024 |

| Fly Me to the Moon | 2024 | 2.5 | Not bad | AppleTV+ | 06/12/2024 |
| Road House | 2024 | 2 | Almost bearable until Connor McGregor turned up. | Prime | 22/03/2024 |
| The Marvels | 2023 | 2 | That’s enough now Marvel. | Disney+ | 10/02/2024 |
| American Underdog | 2021 | 2 | It’s not so much that it’s bad, it’s just boring. It’s not a good story or at least it’s not told well enough to make it any good. Also for a film about American football there’s really not much in it. | Netflix | 08/02/2024 |
| Role Play | 2023 | 2 | Could have been worse I guess. | Prime | 21/02/2024 |
| Absolutely Anything | 2015 | 2 | Surprising Robin Williams role. Probably didn’t age well. | Plex | 10/04/2024 |
| The Idea of You | 2024 | 2 | It was a film. | Prime | 09/06/2024 |
| Challengers | 2024 | 2 | Meh | Plex | 30/06/2024 |
| Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F | 2024 | 2 | Didn’t try too hard, had some fun Easter eggs not awful. But equally wouldn’t recommend unless there’s nothing else to watch. | Netflix | 12/07/2024 |
| Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom | 2023 | 2 | It’s just not a very good story. It’s cheesy poorly scripted bad actors. Black Mantra is the worst bad guy he’s so hammy and his motives don’t make any sense. Jason Momoa plays the role too jokey you can’t take anything seriously. It’s essentially Octonauts the live-action movie. | Plex | 16/07/2024 |
| Arthur the King | 2024 | 2 | Watchable | Prime | 21/08/2024 |
| Alien: Romulus | 2024 | 2 | It was ok. | Everyman | 23/08/2024 |
| The Instigators | 2024 | 2 | Pretty silly. | AppleTV+ | 07/09/2024 |
| Spirited | 2022 | 2 | Harmless. | AppleTV+ | 24/10/2024 |

| The Beekeeper | 2024 | 1.5 | Watchable but also awful. | Now | 06/04/2024 |
| Ricky Stanicky | 2024 | 1.5 | Pretty bad but had moments. | Prime | 15/05/2024 |
| The Beautiful Game | 2024 | 1.5 | Good cause. Mediocre movie. | Netflix | 22/08/2024 |
| Wolfs | 2024 | 1.5 | Not great. | AppleTV+ | 10/10/2024 |
| Enemy | 2013 | 1.5 | Not sure about that one. | Prime | 08/11/2024 |

| Wish | 2023 | 1 | Awful | Cineworld | 01/01/2024 |
| Maestro | 2023 | 1 | A pretentious ideal of a modern twist on classic cinema. | Netflix | 10/01/2024 |
| Transformers: Rise of the Beasts | 2023 | 1 | Tedious rehash of the same boring movie. And some awful CGI. | Now | 16/04/2024 |
| Unfrosted | 2024 | 1 | Did they make this bad on purpose? It’s like one long skit. And Jerry Seinfeld can’t act at all. The Jon Hamm scene almost made it worth it. | Netflix | 09/05/2024 |
| Masterminds | 2016 | 1 | Pretty bad but Kate McKinnon nailed her role. | Netflix | 10/05/2024 |
| Hypnotic | 2023 | 1 | The wish version of hypnotic. | Now | 16/05/2024 |
| A Family Affair | 2024 | 1 | Bearable. | Netflix | 05/07/2024 |
| Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire | 2024 | 1 | Meandered not very funny often boring. | Plex | 10/07/2024 |
| Joyride | 2022 | 1 | Bit odd. | Netflix | 03/08/2024 |
| Showgirls | 1995 | 1 | Firmly in the so bad it’s funny category. | Prime | 19/08/2024 |
| Luck | 2022 | 1 | Not worth watching. | AppleTV+ | 08/09/2024 |
| The Union | 2024 | 1 | Pretty bad | Netflix | 06/10/2024 |
| Despicable Me 4 | 2024 | 1 | Would not have been my choice of film. | Atrium | 12/10/2024 |
| Expend4bles | 2023 | 0.5 | Awful | Prime | 23/04/2024 |
| Argylle | 2024 | 0.5 | Borderline unwatchable | AppleTV+ | 23/05/2024 |
| Atlas | 2024 | 0.5 | “What happens when smoosh together all sci-fi movies into one almost unbearable 2 hours. Why did JLO have to be so dramatic all the time constantly in a state of distress and just awful acting.” | Netflix | 29/05/2024 |
| Madame Web | 2024 | 0.5 | If you have to exposition dump in the first 5 minutes then something is very wrong with the movie. Whilst I appreciate they are reading off a script they might as well be holding it reading it for the first time with the delivery each character gives. Did they rerecorded all of the floppy haired guys vocals because if they did it was awful. Dakota Johnson can’t act. The plot makes no sense and almost ever scene is pointless. | Plex | 04/07/2024 |
| The Wild Robot | 2024 | 0.5 | Awful | Everyman | 21/10/2024 |
| The Family Plan | 2024 | 0.5 | Just a combination of other unoriginal films. | AppleTV+ | 30/10/2024 |
| Brothers | 2023 | 0.5 | Awful. | Prime | 05/11/2024 |
| Red One | 2024 | 0.5 | What was the point of this who was this even aimed at. | Prime | 22/12/2024 |
