The American President (1995)
Formulaic yes, but expertly so.
Those who are cynical of Rom Com's which are written to wring all of emotions out of the somewhat predictable storyline may not appreciate this. But everybody else will! The dialogue is witty and on-point, the duty vs heart conflict for the two lovers feels real.
Extraction (2020)
If you like Call of Duty ...
This film delivers exactly what it says on the tin. Non-stop, adrenaline rush action. With a body count that outstrips Rambo and Schwarzanegger's Commando combined - you do feel somewhat in an action game like Call of Duty!
So long as you are next expecting anything deep and meaningful and are watching just for the ride, it's gripping and satisfying!
Against the Tides (2019)
As much about parenting an autistic child as about swimming
I watched this documentary as an avid open water swimmer expecting an in-depth birds eye insider view of a woman attempting a phenomenal physical and mental challenge. Of course the swimming is centre stage, yes, but the real story becomes about a single mother's journey with her autistic child. A worthy film if you are interested in either story.
The Perfect Date (2019)
Standard Rom Com formula but very charmingly done
Yes, this is a rom com by the numbers, fully up to date with fun and games around dating apps. But the two leads have genuine charm and spar off each other with believable chemistry. Whilst probably not a film that you will remember in years to come, you will nevertheless have a very enjoyable 90 minutes watching this.
