The Brown Note Movie Review

First Man (2018)

For me a massive and impressive return to form after the awful La La Land, in this underappreciated, magnificent, first man on the moon biopic.

Deadpool 2 (2018)

I love Ryan Reynolds but hated the acclaimed first film and found its "edgy" humor painful, I enjoyed its sequel more.

Bohemian Rhapsody (2018)

A film I gave a reasonably good score to because of how hilariously awful it was, oh dear. Bloody entertaining though.

Black KKKlansman (2018)

After savaging Da 5 Bloods a far better film from Spike Lee here.

Best and worst films of 2018

My best and worst films of, drum roll, 2018.

Aquaman (2018)

Director James Wan is far better at visual storytelling than creating a coherent narrative in this exposition loaded, over-complicated and overlong film but being amiable goes an awful long way. Be interesting to see if Amber Heard ever gets a role this prominent again.

You Were Never Really Here (2017)

Lynne Ramsay and Joaquin Phoenix's incredibly dark drama.

Vertigo (1958)

For years whilst Citizen Kane was ranked the greatest film of all time, I said this was, and over the years, that's exactly where it has risen to be. This is a wonderful article about the film coupled with a shorter 10/10 review.

Tomb Raider (2018)

This utterly pointless reboot is as slight as a level in a video game.

The Last Jedi (2018)

The start of the downward spiral in the second failed attempt at rebooting the Star Wars franchise has inexplicably great reviews. I gave it even lower than here on my Star Wars special and it's still only the third worst film.
