I've just finished binge watching all 8 episodes of The Serpent on BBC over the last week and can recommend that. It's based on real life events and he was one sick puppy. I can't work out if the actor who plays the part of Charles Sobhraj was really good or whether his aloof persona was his take on the person he plays. I found the guy Ajay particularly creepy, insofar as he was really friendly to his victims whereas Charles was somewhat a bit suave amongst the hippy fraternity.

Lowering my expectations has succeeded beyond my wildest dreams.
Bit of a cult classic that isn’t quite as good as I remember from last time but still a decent afternoon’s entertainment for all that.

IT Chapter Two.
My memory of the book is that it was long and meandering and any scares were mitigated by my struggle to maintain attention so I guess it stayed true to the book.
Shrek 1 - brilliant when it came out
Shrek 2 - OK
Shrek 3 - disastrous waste of time
Shrek 4 was actually a very good finale, a return to form. I enjoyed it.
An early masterclass by Coppola. Very atmospheric, and swathed in paranoia. Actually a very relaxing film about surveillance and deception in a slightly seedy San Francisco.
Gene Hackman is outstanding, and Harrison Ford in a different role from his other early films.
another 9/10
Tom Hanks really, seriously pulls it out of the bag in this. Simultaneously loveable and really annoying. He seems to be going up in my estimation as an actor, playing in this film children's TV entertainer Fred Rogers and focussing on the narrative where an article is written about him by an angry journalist Lloyd Vogel, played equally well by Matthew Rhys. All "scene changes" are done with traffic, planes etc as models like in the intro to the show. It's very cute.
I don't like scoring, but I'll give it a shining 8.5.
No guns, no explosions.
Sorry.
Little to add to what's already been said - a very good film, beautifully made and with brilliant performances from Carey Mulligan and Ralph Fiennes. I do admit I'm fussy and although I can easily overlook things like Carey Mulligan being a bit too young for the role, and I understand that it's a movie not a documentary, I did find the addition of a fictitious character just to sex things up a bit unnecessary and slightly irritating (as well as Lily James being, a little).
8/10

with Jodie Foster and Liam Neeson
If you expect action and adventure don’t bother watching, if you want to see the kindness, caring and understanding of human nature with a dash of the despicable side of those who should know better, watch it. Jodie Fosters acting is sublime.
Warning: some nudity for those who are offended by that kind of thing.
Powder,
A woman in Labour runs through the rain to the hospital and gets struck by lightning. The kid grows up dealing with the affects of that, that’s all I’ll say. It’s a wonderful film.
Warning: the deer scene may have an effect on you.
10/10
Seems like I just watched a trio (The Graduate, The Conversation and All the President's Men) of US films surreptitiously discussing the Great American Dream - and how the US was conned by it.
All the President's Men cracks along at a fast pace, So much so it is nearly impossible to keep up with the names and significance within the Watergate cover up. Nevertheless, it is entirely watchable, gripping and highlights just how much power existed within the free press. What a different world now - considering how certain US politicians currently behave.
At least Nixon resigned !!
7.5/10
Clever and tense psychological thriller. A couple with a young daughter go on a camping trip by a lake but the daughter goes missing soon after arrival.
All is not what it seems and pretty soon paranoia sets in and people start dying. I can't say more without adding spoilers but Mrs Haych and I thought it was really quite a good movie. Clearly not a huge budget blockbuster, the only member of the cast I recognised was Anne Heche who plays the role of the missing girl's mother.
There are many deliberate red herrings that point to a whole host of creepy characters, any one of whom could feasibly be responsible for the girl's disappearance, to keep the viewer guessing. I did call the ending right but not until a fair way through the film.
Well made, well played and worth a watch if you have a couple of hours spare.
