Her hair is amazing. Beautiful. I’m very envious.

I’m glad it’s not just me. I got as far as Dr Strange and I just couldn’t take any more. It’s not that the individual films are bad, not at all, but recently I’ve found myself going back to older films (I had a run on sixties/seventies political thrillers recently) which I’ve found to be more satisfying. In a while I’m…

Here’s my top five of 1998 in no particular order
