Mannequin (1987)

Classic 5/5

Home Sweet Home Alone (2021)

A fun Boxing Day film 3/5

Click & Collect (2018)

Such a great Christmas film! 5/5

Nobody (2021)

Nobody is one of those films that sneaks up on you.

I watched this expecting a decent action film and came out wondering why more people aren't talking about it.

Bob Odenkirk is fantastic as Hutch Mansell, an ordinary man with a very extraordinary set of skills. Watching him switch from overlooked family man to absolute force of nature is incredibly satisfying. Every punch feels earned, every action scene lands, and the film never takes itself too seriously.

Then there's Christopher Lloyd.

At an age when most people are deciding what biscuits to have with their tea, Christopher Lloyd turns up and reminds everyone why he's a legend. Every scene he's in is a gift, and he manages to steal attention from a film that's already packed with memorable moments.

The action is brutal, creative and entertaining. It feels messy in the best possible way. People get hurt, and buildings get destroyed.

The biggest question the film leaves unanswered is this: who's cooler, Bob Odenkirk or Christopher Lloyd?

5/5

Being Eddie (2025)

Such a great insight into Eddie, loved this documentary 5/5

Bhaji on the Beach (1993)

Bhaji on the Beach isn't just a film. It's a massive part of British Asian culture.

As Gurinder Chadha's first feature film, it was something special when it was released, and it still holds up today. I have fond memories of going to the local Indian video shop with my dad and renting it. Back then, seeing British Asian stories on screen was still a rarity, which made films like this feel even more important.

What stands out is how many difficult subjects it tackles. Smoking, drinking, dating and family expectations were all sensitive topics for many British Asian families in the 1990s. The film also explores interracial relationships and domestic violence, subjects that can still be uncomfortable conversations in some communities today.

Despite dealing with serious issues, the film never feels heavy-handed. There's plenty of humour, warmth and heart throughout. The characters feel real, flawed and relatable, which is probably why the film has remained so memorable over the years.

As with all of Gurinder Chadha's films, the cinematography is excellent for its time. The soundtrack is great, the cast is superb and everything comes together to create something that still feels fresh more than 30 years later.

It's also always a pleasure to see Zohra Sehgal on screen. She steals every scene she's in, and her Punjabi swearing remains absolutely iconic. 

For me, this is one of the most important British Asian films ever made. It made people laugh, started conversations and showed stories that weren't often seen on screen at the time.

Unlike my local video shop, this film hasn't disappeared with age and I still own the VHS and DVD.

Back in Action (2025)

My first 2025 movie. It's a difficult one to review as it started well but the entire petrol station scene was clearly not filmed in the UK. Attention to detail was lacking. And the fact that it was almost the same as the Mark Warburg film The Family Plan.

2/5
