Watching Missile To The Moon
It's a rocket not a missile, crewed by two blackmailed escaped convicts, a moon man who's been undercover on earth and a science couple. He wants to get back to the moon as it is exclusively inhabited by shit papier maché monsters and Miss World contestants

6. I'm working my way through the Assassin's Creed games backwards, enjoying how the games get smaller as I get used to them.I'm on Syndicate where as well as Assassination, I'm running organised crime from a train in 1860's London.
The good thing?The enemy gang are called The Blighters!

So what you're telling me is that the operation in Venezuela was just a viral marketing stunt for this film being released on Friday?

Watching The Carpenter's Son
Nic Cage is Joseph. FKA Twigs is Mary. And Noah Jupe's Jesus is a teenage boy living on the run and being tempted by the weirdo girl who is straight out of devil girl central casting. Lots of good ideas here,but it tends to quite obvious symbolism is a bit religion shy

Got a new copy of The Spy Who Came In From The Cold at Christmas, and was surprised that at the end now Liz gets a bucket of blood dumped on her and then destroys part of the Berlin Wall with hitherto unhinted at telekinetic powers.
Made a bit more sense when I rechecked the cover

5. The recent Finn Wolfhard album reminded me so much of Sparklehorse, and particularly Sparklehorse when they rocked, that I pulled out Vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot for the first time in years and it still bangs!

Watching The Silver Horde
1930, trying to invent the capitalist romance, this is ripped from what I assume is a more complex book. The human melodrama is overblown and doesn't quite work (and doesn't explain what sledge fisted means) but its five minute 'how a salmon cannery works' section is great

Watching Anaconda
Jack Black is at his most likeable in this spoof of reboots, reimagining that is actually a friends reunited comedy. They have the rights to the IP,and go to film it whilst being menaced by a real anaconda and mixing it up with illegal gold mining. It's 12A, any horror is long gone

Watching Fackham Hall
What is nice about Fackham Hall (which sadly probably comes from Jimmy Carr) is that it really does throw every kind of comedy into the mix, and its background gags are excellent. Downton is an easy target, but this isn't lazy and Thomasin McKenzie uses naif deadpan brilliantly

Watching Link
Wears it's Britishness and 80'sness like a neon sign and swamped by an inappropriately awful Jerry Goldsmith score, this Elizabeth Shue being chased by a chimpanzee being played by an orangutan thriller is rather good fun,if you look past nearly everything that makes it terrible.

4. Having seen Sentimental Value earlier today it reminded me how much I liked Trier's earlier, moody psychic romance Thelma. Eili Harboe dazzles as Thelma in a gothic, lesbian, supernatural cautionary tale: perfectly plotted and teeters between scary and beautifully revelatory

Watching Sentimental Value
Joachim Trier builds a mini family epic, generations told through the story of their house. Skarsgård is the absent Dad, Reinsve the damaged daughter, though the film is stolen by Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas as the other sister. Beautifully constructed, chewy lo-key saga

Watching Happily
Tom(McHale) and Janet(Bishe) have been married 14 years and never argue, and are still having sex twice a day. Their friends hate them, and one day a man turns up at their door apologizing that they are deficient and he can make them normal with a shot. Is it real? Is it a prank?

3. I'm sorry, I know this is going to upset a number of people but reading in the bath is a very good thing. Locked in, hot and steamy with no distractions, a few bubbles and maybe a candle. But there's nothing better than devouring the last 100 pages of a novel

Watching It Was An Accident
Finally caught up with this, another of Pahani's chewy moral dilemmas gussied up with an almost Ealingesque comedy despite being about torture. Share's with Bugonia a problem with resolving it's mystery, but is a lot more graceful in doing it and with a killer final scene

Watching Kdo chce zabít Jessii? / Who Wants To Kill Jessie?
Czech comedy where a scientist invents a machine that makes bad dreams go away, not realising they go into reality, then uses it on her husband's sexy dream about a comic heroine Jessie. She and her pursuers (cowboy/superman) wreck havoc

Watching After Jackie
I don't follow baseball at all so I don't know why I like baseball docs so much. Maybe it's the passion from all involved particularly about the history of race in the game, it takes on a national dimension.This is great on the next gen of black players after Jackie Robinson

Watching Scarecrow
Looks great and has a fantastic opening shot, but whilst both Hackman and Pacino are great, their chemistry doesn't quite rub. Part of the issue is the largely loose plotlessness of its picaresque storytelling, Hackman comes out top though. One of the last not historic hobo films

Based on Highsmith's The Blunderer, which is a much better name for it,Patrick Wilson gets obsessed with a murder and then his wife dies in the same wayas he keeps changing his story and getting embroiled with the previous case. But it's so slow,should be called the Plodder

2. Curried Parsnip Soup
Post Xmas Parsnip glut, this is such an easy meal to make. I use the recipe in Lindsay Bareham's A Celebration Of Soup, though all you really need is parsnips and curry powder. I veganised it with veg stock and no cream and it's just as nice
