Downton Abbey - A New Era - enjoyable as ever, in that rather rushed Downton way! 

Spoiler

But sad to see Violet passing away, though she still had a great final line.

Saw it in the cinema, superb. 

 

Not sure why I posted this, as I haven't seen Crawdads! Maybe it refers to an earlier post?

Watched Mr Holmes today, Holmes in his 90's and his last case. Ian McKellen, always excellent, as Holmes and stellar performance by Milo Parker ( young Gerald in The Durrells). Rather poignant but thoroughly enjoyable.

I saw that a few years ago, and loved it!

Watched a couple of good drama series on Channel 5 this weekend. Both surrounding death in a

river or the sea. One UK, one Australia.

Wasn't it good! I love this era and the cinematography was beautiful.

I watched Grave of the Fireflies on Sunday night as it is one of the Studio Ghibli films I hadn't seen. I knew nothing about it before sitting down to watch it so expected something relatively happy with a but of Japanese whimsy thrown in for good measure. I couldn't have been more wrong and the movie has been in my head since I watched it.

 

Last night we went to our local cinema to see Gladiator II. I thought it was ok but not a patch on the first movie. It all felt a little bit of a mess and relies heavily on the action scenes. Movies typically need the viewer to suspend belief but there are a few scenes which are outright ridiculous when you take a second to think about them. I really like Paul Mescal as an actor, he is fantastic in Aftersun, but I'm not sure he quite pulls it off here. Denzel Washington steals the movie. He plays his character perfectly and looks like he really had fun with the role.
