Spiderman - No Way Home: Was expecting this to be good. Can’t say it was. Tobey Maguire looks drug addled. Fairly entertaining at best, but didn’t really do much for me, especially with all the universes colliding etc etc etc. 5/10
Licorice Pizza: I had to watch this twice, mostly to make sure it wasn’t shite. Only got through half of it the first time, pretty much the Stranger Things/Euphoria situation, where I can’t bring myself to care about characters who are in high school. The missus complaining about how the characters were ugly and pimple faced didn’t help either. The second time around I felt this was an absolute masterpiece. The entire Bradley Cooper scene was an amazing movie watching experience, had everything from hilarity to absolute tension. And I’d be lying if I said I didn’t get the feels at the end. Solid solid solid movie. PTA hitting it out of the park yet again. 8.8/10
Phantom Thread: Put this on after shutting off Licorice Pizza the first time. Holds up, big time. Daniel Day Lewis bring his a-game and then some. I can’t stop thinking about how funny the scene is where Alma surprises him with a candle light dinner after getting fair warning from the sister, who is also absolutely brilliant in this. 9 / 10
