    Lady and the Tramp

    Directed by Charlie Bean. With Tessa Thompson, Justin Theroux, Sam Elliott, Ashley Jensen. The romantic tale of a sheltered uptown Cocker Spaniel dog and a streetwise downtown Mutt.

    Enjoyable but forgettable live action adaptation of the 1955 animated film, it adds to the list of unnecessary remakes that Disney has been churning through. This one has the distinction of being released on Disney+ though, so at least it has that going for it.

  • The War of the Worlds

    With Eleanor Tomlinson, Rafe Spall, Robert Carlyle, Rupert Graves. In London during the Edwardian era, George and Amy’s attempt to start a life together is interrupted by a Martian invasion of Earth.

    A British TV Mini-Series from last year, this is the best adaptation of the original story that I’ve ever seen, and yes I’m including the American-centric version that Tom Cruise starred in back in 2005.

    All Quiet on the Western Front

    Directed by Delbert Mann. With Richard Thomas, Ernest Borgnine, Donald Pleasence, Ian Holm. A young soldier faces profound disillusionment in the soul-destroying horror of World War I.

    Made for TV movie, but with high production values and extremely shocking subject matter. This is likely the best World War 1 movie that I’ve watched.

    Black and Blue

    Directed by Deon Taylor. With Naomie Harris, Tyrese Gibson, Frank Grillo, Mike Colter. A rookie New Orleans police officer is forced to balance her identity as a black woman after she witnesses two corrupt cops committing murder.

    A fast paced and well shot chase film with many familiar faces at the top of their game. Naomie Harris wasn’t on my radar and I was surprised to see she’s been in many films that I enjoyed her parts (MoneyPenny in the recent Bond films!), her face just didn’t seem to stick to me, but after this i’m going to keep an eye out for her, I really enjoyed this movie.
