What a Hidden gem #deathbylightning turned out to be. Four part mini series about the 20th president of the USA and his assassin. Interesting as I didn't know the stroy, good performances especially by Matthew Macfadyan. Not sure been much in UK but worth checking out.

Clearly enjoying the role, I just felt he was secondary in this film and phones it in. If they make a fourth he needs to be front and centre

Wake up Dead Man or Knives Out 3, was better than the second film, less intricate than the first and less for the supporting cast to do. Josh O'Connor steals the show, Craig I felt rings his performance in. Close may get a supporting nod. Passes the time.

Enjoyed #jaykelly and as a Clooney fan I knew it would be self indulgent but in all honesty I couldn't care less. Adam Sandler is good and fun to see a load of but parts played by British actors. If you like George then.itsnfor you, if nit you're probably hate it.
