The Post – 4/5 Stars ★★★★

The Post is an excellent re-telling of its era and the significant change brought about by courageous reporting. It is also a cautionary tale of what happens when the government attempts to intimidate the press.

The acting of Tom Hanks is stellar, as is Meryl Streep. I was impressed by the cinematography, appropriate color-keying, and director’s choices. Regardless of how one feels about the story, the underlying politics of the time, the persons, etc. this is a must-see moview if for nothing else by its craft.

Rated – 4/5 Stars

Here comes Storm Fionn !!

Storm Fionn officially hit Britain on January 16, leaving swathes of the country under deep snow cover following an intense -7C blast.

Forecasters warned of gusts of up to 90mph sweeping through the UK for the next two days – with strong winds set hitting the whole of England overnight into January 18.

Gusts reached 93mph in Capel Curig in Wales overnight, as well as 83mph in Tibbenham, Norfolk.

Fionn was predicted to bring eight inches of snow throughout the North West and North East of England, as well as Scotland, where an amber weather warning was in place.

On January 17 traffic bosses then closed parts of the motorway in Lanarkshire in both directions due to wintry conditions for a number of hours – with tailbacks stretching back for six miles.

The latest Met Office warning explained: “The location of the most damaging winds is currently uncertain, although parts of northern and eastern England along with southern Scotland currently look more at risk.

“Along with the strong winds a spell of heavy rain can also be expected, which could also be combined with a temporary thaw of lying snow in the north.”

The Environment Agency warned many river levels in the West Country rose, including the Hayle and Cober in Cornwall.

Meanwhile, southern Scotland, as well as northern and eastern England saw fierce gales sweep in.

Fionn is the sixth storm of the season.

Veronica – 4/5 Stars ★★★★

Veronica is a one time watch classic horror, but it is worthy of that watch! It doesn’t rely on scare jumps, gore, violence, it delivers on the typical Spanish movies level: tension!

It focused on what it wanted to tell and managed to connect with the viewer. At least it did so with me. I enjoyed Veronica, so an elevated 4 Star rating from me , just remember to turn on the subtitles if you are not fluent in spanish like me, and you will have great ride.

Rated 4/5 Stars

Travel disruption as snow hits Scotland

Snow and ice leaves thousands of motorists stranded in Scotland and threatens disruption across the UK.

Molly’s Game – 4.8/5 Stars ★★★★?

The true story of Molly Bloom, a beautiful, young, Olympic-class skier who ran the world’s most exclusive high-stakes poker game for a decade before being arrested in the middle of the night by 17 FBI agents.

Aaron failed to disappoint me with this one, hopefully the cast and crew of this film receive something noteworthy at the Academy Awards this year as this film cannot be hidden in shadows.

The dialogue was amazing, fast paced as per usual and with tons of detail fed to the audience. The cast was enjoyable to watch and Chastain is incredible both to the eyes and ears.

I recommend this film to anyone who has any interest in this person’s life (Molly) and screenwriting as a whole.

Rated – 4.8/5 Stars
