The plural of Michele in French is Michelin.
Fact.
That's why they named the tyre company that, after all the race drivers called Michele.

THe KIll Team
BAsed on the true story of a young soldier who is in Afghanistan and realises his Sergeant (Alexander Skarsgård) and the rest of his unit are senselessly killing Afghan villagers and making it look like they are insurgents.
Alexander Skarsgård is menacing as Deeks, and some other good acting from nobodies, but story really struggles to grab you and get going, and then at less than 90mins you are kinda left thinking there should be more.
2.9 unit beatings out of 5 dead villagers

The Knight Before Christmas on Netflix. Not quite as bad as Falling Inn Love (the dialogue is marginally better and no goat), but the saccharine sweetness that is piled on with a trowel will give you tooth decay (what is tamer than G-rated?). Basically a witch hands a knight a pendant and he zooms 650 odd years in the future on a 'quest'. The way 14th century English medieval knight seamlessly fits into Ohio US 2019 - understanding language, customs, technology (he asks to drive her car, she hands him the keys, he can use the oven, work a remote for cable tv, speak American slang etc etc) is quite something. He also says 'toodle pip' at one point. Ask no questions because naturally the plot makes no fucking sense.

Do not, under any circumstances, be talked into seeing Last Christmas.
I was going to give tickets to this to someone special.
Certainly not somebody who would look to pass it on the very next day.

Finally saw Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Really good!
I struggle to believe that you a. saw a movie made after 1990 and that had a budget of more than $10m or b. that you liked it.
Knives Out: Riaan Johnson's next movie after some little sci fi thing he did that sent people into a tizzle.
A murder mystery. I knew nothing about this before going to see it, I didn't know who was in the cast, what it was about (thought it was a horror actually) and it turned out to be a bloody good and funny movie.
All the cast are having a blast. Daniel Craig almost redeemed himself for Spectre with his role as a Southern detective although it took me a few minutes to adjust to his over the top accent. Captain America is very un-Captain America, Michael Shannon was mostly un-Michael Shannon, and Don Johnson, Jamie Lee Curtis and Christopher Plummer were great as the oldies. Last but not least the main character was played by Ana De Armas.
The plot is silly and is mostly meant to be silly and it's punctuated with some belly laughs.

Family movie night: The Lion King.
Great motion capture and CGI. Pretty good considering its almost a shot-by-shot remake with a couple of extra elements.
Yeah looks good, but missed out the crazy Hyena, which was the best part of the original

Frozen 2.
Amazing visuals, music even better than the first film, lots of funny moments from Josh Gad's Olaf, a bold, dramatic plot and some great messages, this is a film that will make a lot of money and be talked about for years.
Very dark in places for a family movie, lacked the charm, innocence and narrative simplicity of the original Frozen.
4 Snowmen out of 5.
