An almost perfect Western. Told in near real time (and screened to match the time in the film, nice touch!) and full of all the elements you’d expect. Bonus points for decent female characters, a banging theme tune and Lee Van Cleef
A lovely fresh take on vampires. Doesn’t stick too closely to standard rules and makes up some nice new stuff. The vampire family all rooting for the young one to get her fangs and start killing is rather lovely
Gloriously silly fun. Part animation, part people running about dressed as beavers, rabbits and horses, all completely bonkers slapstick fun.
Took a punt on this one: don’t always enjoy the child-and-unconventional-parent subgenre but this was a lovely watch. Steers clear of heavy social commentary, leaning towards road movies and lovers on the run classic tropes instead. Thoroughly enjoyable.
This could have been very dark - it’s essentially about an abusive relationship - but it was loud and weird enough that it mostly avoided it. There was a bit of a lull somewhere in the middle but it was great fun
