Sleeper hit of the year! Funny, intense, dramatic. The works. Switches genre so well. Love that it’s got that “bottle episode” feel with you never leaving the apartment. Hard to find a single fault

Unmarked can and I’m sure it is this beer
Castlefield Bowl summer shows never disappoint. Wet Leg on Wednesday was another smasher.
Movie Log 🍿: Disclosure Day, 2026
It’s so hard to review this! It’s mental. There’s some poor writing (the nurse letting us know about Margaret’s traumatic event was an eye roll), there’s far too many gratuitous shots of an Alfa Romeo (every other car driven in the film is from the …

A few sunny days in Bordeaux just wandering round and loving it.
Beer Log 🍺: Wooolf by Brasserie Lalune at Brasseurs Lalune
It’s a scorcher in Bordeaux and it’s beer o’clock
Movie Log 🍿: The Fog, 1980 - ★★★★
Second film I’ve watched in France on this trip. What a classic. Starting with the ghost story is a touch a genius with the film being one itself. Soundtrack, effects, acting all spot on. I’d LOVE to run a radio station in a lighthouse

Movie Log 🍿: Bait, 2019 - ★★★★½
Really bold cinema! I loved the super close up shots of everybody throughout. Builds a tension that is added to by everything. How can someone eating lobster be tense? It is here!

Movie Log 🍿: Close Encounters of the Third Kind, 1977 - ★★★★½
John Williams just let loose. So clear where Spielberg went from here to get to E.T. What a marvellous film that’s aged like a fine wine. The special effects are so good for a film of its age. Spielberg is a visionary!

Forgot to log this one. Formulaic but a fun watch. Really plays with silence, big fan of films doing that.

This is up there with the greats
Movie Log 🍿: Backrooms, 2026 - ★★★★★
Awesome. Loved every second of this. Edge of the seat stuff the entire time, beautifully designed, filmed and executed. How can some rooms built off kilter make me uncomfortable?

Movie Log 🍿: Snakes on a Plane, 2006 - ★★★½
Peak Sunday afternoon film. Terrible CGI, impossible physics, amazing. I love how the lights on planes flicker in movies

Finished reading: Thirst - Twelve Drinks That Changed My Life by John Robins 📚
What a brilliant read. I’m not a particularly quick reader but couldn’t put this down. Really insightful, emotional and funny at the same time.
I saw this plaque in Manchester Airport yesterday (T3 Arrivals) and ended up finding out more about it at Manchester Histories. How cool is that?

Movie Log 🍿: Hokum, 2026 - ★★★★
Did everything very well. Lots of gesturing at the screen and fidgeting in my seat. I loved that nobody in Ireland has a car from later than 2004 and somehow it was possible to rent a Saab 900 from an airport
