“When this storm is over, we’ll be in a new ice age.”
Not great — though it’s premise is apparently possible — it’s not anything in particular except a touch boring.
★★✩✩✩

Hot Tub Time Machine
“Great White Buffalo”
Craig Robinson might be one of the funniest people on Earth and I’ll watch anything he’s in, thankfully this wasn’t a chore — this 80s set wacky time-travel movie has it’s ups and downs, but remains pretty funny throughout.
★★★✩✩
Everest
“Human beings simply aren’t built to function at the cruising altitudes of a seven-forty-seven.”
Really disappointed I didn’t get to see this in cinemas, the vistas are beautiful, it’s a harrowing and intense story, enough to put you off mountain climbing for good.
★★★★✩
Cliffhanger
“Kill a few people, they call you a murderer. Kill a million and you’re a conqueror.”
A cheesy 80s action movie where quite a lot of the thrills rely on Stallone’s strength and some fun special effects — in the realm of ‘so bad it’s good’ territory whilst still being a lot of fun.
★★★✩✩
The Godfather
“Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.”
A perfectly executed film, everyone in it is great, composed beautifully, and a tale of mafia manhood and survival.
