Flight (2012) ★★★½
A solid, but unspectacular film, and one which is elevated by Denzel Washington's powerhouse performance. Kudos also goes to John Goodman, for his memorable supporting role as the drug dealer who supplies Whip, Washington's alcoholic pilot, with enough downers and uppers to keep him on an even keel.
Batman (1989) ★★★★
"Excuse me. Have you ever danced with the Devil in the pale moonlight?"
Over 30 years after it was released and with many different incarnations of Bruce Wayne/Batman and the Joker, Tim Burton's vision of Gotham City still looks outstanding, Michael Keaton's portrayal of the titular character has probably only been bettered by him, in the (superior) sequel.
Cats (2019) ½
I thought Pitof's Catwoman was the worst film made about felines. I was wrong. This is visually bewildering and narratively nonsensical.
