If you’re at #EdinburghFringe you MUST go and see #MotorhomeMarilyn. It has comedy, it has mystery, it has a song or two and most importantly it has an enchanting performance from the iconic Michelle Collins. As I told Michelle and her producer afterwards, I hope this show tours!

Whilst Chris Chibnall’s Doctor Who era isn’t my fave he IS a brilliant crime writer and Broadchurch is the best crime drama ever written. Tonight I had the pleasure of meeting Chris and hearing him talk about his writing process as he launched his debut novel Death at the White Hart.

#DeathOfAUnicorn could’ve been so good but sadly it’s pacing is all over the place, it lacks any real humour and the majority of the kills (bar 2) are at night and so badly lit you can barely see anything. So much wasted potential. Paul Rudd and Will Poulter carry the film.

I thought #TheWomanInTheYard would be a simple horror film instead it was an emotional rollercoaster with expert sound & light design, building continuous dread the likes of which I’ve not seen since Paranomal Activity. It also deals with an important topic. Great cast too!

Finally watched Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story. A beautiful tribute to a truly remarkable man who embodied the values of Superman and was a hero his whole life.
A great father, husband, actor and advocate gone too soon (along with wife Dana and friend Robin Williams).

#TheLastShowgirl is a sad but beautiful commentary on the double standards women face as they age as well as on delusion. No one else could’ve played the lead role as well as Pamela Anderson - a career best! Jamie Lee Curtis and Billie Lourd also gave spectacular performances.

Literally cried with laughter at throughout Greg Davies’ show, absolutely brilliant.
Was lovely to meet him after the show and to get @michaelm238.bsky.social’s books signed.

I remember seeing the trailer for #TheMonkey for the first time and being very intrigued but also worried because I didn’t like Osgood Perkins’ last film (Longlegs) but holy shit, this film was incredible! It had jumps, it had laughs and plenty of gore! Horror comedy at its best!

#HeartEyes has to be one of the worst movies I’ve seen in a long time. Utter drivel. Save yourself some money and don’t pay to see this in cinemas. Poor acting, terrible ending, abysmal script and really bad pacing. Found myself looking at the time a lot. Beyond poor.

I think #Companion is one of the most original movies I’ve seen in ages and it explores some very timely themes.
I really don’t wanna say too much though as I’d advise seeing this film the way I did - watching no trailers, reading no spoilers and going in blind. So much fun!

No spoilers from me but if you love #InsideNo9 then you will love #StageFright! A perfect denouement to the series that blends horror and comedy with faces old and new for a truly unique theatre experience. Bravo @reece-shearsmith.bsky.social & @sjpemberton.bsky.social 👏🏻

Heartbroken about David Lynch dying and not fully processed it yet. I connect with his work on such a spiritual level and have made amazing friends thanks to his work. He is one of my all time favourite filmmakers and a true visionary the likes of which we will never see again.

I thought #Nosferatu was a gothic masterpiece. Robert Eggers did a great job creating a creepy, unsettling movie. The cast were excellent with no weak link amongst them. the cinematography was gorgeous. The pacing was a little off though (20 mins too long perhaps).

When I first saw the trailer for #BetterMan I was like “Wtf !” but honestly, take a chance on this movie as it’s beautiful and exceeded expectations! An emotive story that isn’t afraid to highlight the highs AND the lows of Robbie Williams’ life. @sjpemberton.bsky.social was amazing too!
