Finally caught American Fiction last night. I have to say that this might be the best show I've seen in a while. Very well acted, great story, poignant. Really well done and worth the watch.
9/10

I absolutely loved Amy Winehouse, I can't count the amount of times I played Back to Black in the day. Massive fan so I was going to see this regardless.

It's not one of the better music biopics out there, it has some of the same cliches of how the artist/performer told off the record label and stood by their vision, etc. The Queen movie was really bad with that cheesy stuff and this is no different. The actress playing Amy had an incredibly tough assignment, but she was very good when you consider how completely unique Amy was. I wish we could have got another album from her, but more importantly it's incredibly sad she didn't survive her addictions and depression. So much talent and such a huge loss.

The Amy Winehouse documentary 'Amy' is excellent. At the end, you will be sad and hate all the right people.

That documentary is infinitely better than the movie, same with the 2018 Back to Black BluRay release which has a lot of footage from the studio/writing sessions and interviews with the producers which I always find far more interesting than the personal aspect and the tragedy. She really was incredible.

I watched the Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.

Gotta say...pretty good. It was a fun movie, its not going to rank up with the current crop of classics like Dunkirk or 1917, its nowhere near that level, but its still a fun movie.

The major hurdle it faces is the same as most movies of its genre...theres too many people to keep track of.
