A Few Quick Ones

Bohemian Rhapsody: Admittedly stepped into the hall with more than a little skepticism, but was bowled over by the sheer talent of one Freddie Mercury and how the Pakkie found his voice all the way from a highly skeptical Parsi family in London all the way to Live Aid. 15.5/20

Ralph Breaks the Internet: To get to EBay to find a steering wheel and save Candy Race in the Arcade, Ralph and Vannelope undertake a coming of age journey that while cementing their friendship truly shows up the different people that they are. 15/20

The Girl in the Spider's Web: Lisbeth Sallander finds her way through the Russian mafia and an irate NSA to a Bourne style thriller to recover some truly world-saving information. Claire Foy needs to use her full complement of hacking skills as well as physicality. Includes some brutal sibling face-offs too. 14/20

Thuggery

Thugs of Hindostan robs both your wallet and sanity in equal measure. I cannot rate this movie as I left in the interval. It is hard to pinpoint exactly what truly and irredemably dooms the movie - the terrible script, weak cinematography, utterly underdeveloped characters and relationships, a background score that is among the worst one has ever heard. With the dominance of IPTV the bar in terms of quality has irrevocably risen, and this sort of execution will inevitably and swiftly get consigned to the dustbin of history
