    To Catch a Thief (1955)
    Little did I know I would be escaping into a romance novel with a sprinkle of mystery set in the idyllic Côte d’azur which most mesmerized me. If you’re expecting typical Hitchcroft, forget it for it’s a much lighter fare.

    The Boy and the Heron (2023)
    Not quite to the standard you expect from Studio Ghibli and it felt more like a last hurrah when I found myself noticing too many similarities between this and many of his previous works. It’s messy, it’s disjointed, it’s surrealistic, and it’s absurd; it’s Miyazaki turned up to 11 and seems to be made for the Miyazaki acolytes.

    Plane (2023)
    Plane promises the viewer will see Gerard Butler as a pilot forced to save his passengers in hostile situations alongside unlikely companions and it delivers precisely that.

    My Blueberry Nights (2007)
    Legendary director Wong Kar-Wai’s first foray into the western market and it is disappointing. Let me clarify, it’s not bad, yet it is knowing that it’s from WKW, like your straight-As student suddenly handing in a C. Everything seemingly felt contrived and I don’t know if it’s the language or the actors or both.
