We are both struggling with illness this weeks but we still manage to watch a fair few things.

A cinema dynasty looks to be getting forged with Destry Allyn Spielberg debut feature 'Don't Feed The Children', we then head to Japan for some oddness with Brendan Fraser in 'Rental Family', then return to UK (well 16th Century version) for adaptation of Maggie O'Farrells breath-taking novel 'Hamnet' from Chloe Zhao, then we travel to the waters north of Darwin for some survival against the elements, enemy and of course a giant f**king shark in WWII set 'Beast Of War', one of us delves into cinema history with silent movie from Alfred Hitchcock 'The Lodger' and we finish with biggest movie going around, a crime that it has taken us this long to see it but we head to Pandora for 'Avatar: Fire And Ash'
