Carry-On (2024) - Rated 23 Dec 2024
"Worst film in the franchise. I mean, where are Sid James’ laugh, Kenneth Williams’ innuendos, and Hattie Jacques’ stern glare?"
The Phoenician Scheme (2025) - Rated 24 May 2025
"The Phoenician Scheme is Wes Anderson in soft focus—dollhouse framing, deadpan charm, but herbal tea where espresso should be. The pace drifts, the colours fade, and Del Toro keeps saying he feels “very safe.” He is. Too safe. Mia Threapleton steals the show with a quiet, heartfelt turn. Michael Cera somehow works. But the story dawdles, never quite clicking. It’s all quirks and melancholy, but little bite—Anderson with the set dressing but none of the spark."
