For me #WickedForGood suffers from the same second half slump the stage show does. It’s still thrilling, and emotional, but it’s a much more frantic film, not using its time to dig deeper. The new songs are fine, and For Good is as emotional as you’d want, but it’s simply - good.

I enjoyed #TheRunningMan. It’s a fast paced and timely romp with a thoroughly compelling Glen Powell at its core. I laughed and cheered, especially at Josh Brolin’s hammy bad guy role. Comparing it to the Arnie would be a disservice but it’s a great take on a well worn subject.

Dan Tratchenberg takes some swings with #PredatorBadlands and I respect that. Not all of it works, and it’ll probably divide fans but it’s refreshing for a franchise to try something new and not be content with formula. Great score and creature design.

It may be rather obvious to say but these are dark, divided times. It may even feel as if this is as bad as it’s ever been, but the reality is, things have always been divided. People have always draw...

Obligatory LFF thoughts:
None more surprised than me I like #BlackPhone2 more than part one. I think it takes time to build up but the excellent setting, the fun twist on the story and Madeleine McGraw’s compelling performance make this a proper fun ride. The Grabber is still a rubbish name though…

I was surprised by how funny #OneBattleAfterAnother was. A blistering piece of statement art that features top performances from the cast. PTA hasn’t felt this energised in years and the Greenwood score is fantastic.

Brutal but very human #TheLongWalk is The Mist for post-Covid. I was drained by the end but the emotion given by the cast - stand out is David Jonsson - and a clear sense of building threat made this one of the best of the year. How it’s only a 15 is crazy!

A step up from the third one but #TheConjuringLastRites still lacks the James Wan magic. Too happy to coast on the easy chemistry of Wilson and Farmiga but never really gets going with the demonic threat. It’s all a bit vague, but the jumps are very well done.

So I preferred #Nobody2 to the first. I think it’s more focussed, more fun, and oddly emotional. Odenkirk is still a great Everyman hero, but matches against good baddies and terrific support the likes of Christopher Lloyd
