You're wrong, Alan. Flight of the Navigator is a perfect film, and is all about a kid.

Also, Henry Thomas and Drew Barrymore were brilliant and went a long way in making ET the classic film it is.
Yeah, terrible (and/or really irritating) child actors can put a downer on some films. But I guess the same can probably be said of plenty of adult actors.

Another example of a great kid film: The Neverending Story.

Doctor Sleep
Could have been much worse. The start is very rushed. Other than Rose we don’t really get to know any of the True, not even Andy or Crow. The last 15 mins are bad fan service but I did enjoy it. It really is something that would have benefited greatly from being a TV series.

The King
I thought this was fantastic. The soundtrack in particular was sublime and Timothee Chalamet and Joel Edgerton were brilliant in their parts.

Mary Queen of Scots
It doesn't matter how many times this story is adapted for the screen, or how good the acting or cinematography is, it is a terrible story. The story about a very foolish girl, who played her hand extremely badly throughout her whole career, and ultimately reaped what she sowed.
However, her son did radically change the course of British history, so there's that in her favour.
I have to admit, the last time I saw this story adapted to screen, it was the final season of the cheesy Netflix show, Reign, which in all honesty was far more entertaining than this!
Of the two films I've watched in the last 48 hours about impetuous young British monarchs, The King was much better, I thought.

Spiderman: Far From Home
Finally got round to seeing this. Given that Homecoming is one of my favourite MCU films, I'm fairly disappointed at how mediocre FFH is. It could have been an interesting take on Mysterio, but the result was plain silly and doesn't hold up well under scrutiny.

I'd put this down near the bottom of the MCU list, probably just above Iron Man 3 (which had an even stupider villain).Re: I Just Watched (Films)
Aladdin (2019)
Good fucking grief, this is a travesty. It’s devoid of any of the animated film’s charm, it doesn’t seem to remotely understand the characters, the pacing and comic timing is totally wrong, the songs have been butchered and the actors all forgot to act. The best performance is from the carpet.
Irredeemable shite.
