I really should stop reviewing movies. For one thing, I can't stand any of them. I go in expecting something brilliant, and the half I like is always overshadowed by the half I detest. Sometimes there's too much story getting in the way of a cheap-thrills B-movie ride, sometimes there's all action when we need some quiet talk and agonised looks. I hate trilogies, I hate superhero movies, I hate plodding crime "thrillers". I hate movies, basically. But I really hate the fact that awards-season is rolling round now, because it means we get into these thick, story-heavy movies at a time when you need a marshmallowy chocolate winter warmer.
