Part of the UK's holy trinity of Shoegaze, along with RIDE and MBV, all of whom made strong comebacks after twenty-years absences, with new albums and tours. Sadly this second comeback album is nowhere near the perfection of the self-titled 2017 effort and is sadly too slight in almost every direction.

The late Mark Linkous' esteemed band receives a totally unexpected final album, the one he was working on at the time of his suicide in 2010, and completed by his family members. And it's wonderful.

The tenth album by the UK stalwarts is, for me, arguably their finest since the high point of Surrender in '99. Tracks like Live Again and the Beck featuring, Skipping Like a Stone amongst the years finest.

This Is England, director, Shane Meadows first masterpiece, retains immense power as a treatise on small town brutality and toxic masculinity, especially with the never better performance of Paddy Consadine.

Director Ari Aster has had quite a wild ride. His debut, Hereditary, was one of the defining films of both horror and A24 in a decade defined by both, the followup Midsommar was derivative trite trash, with a bizarre fan-base. So seeing the tepid reviews of his most ambitious film yet, I gave 'Beau no hope - and ended up with possibly my film of the year.

The YouTube powerhouse duo release one of the IT horror movies of the year but though really good its not great. It's certainly never the level of originality, impact or quality of an A24 top tier entry. Perhaps an equal to the likes of last years Smile.

Fitting perfectly in with the post Endgame malaise of terrible failures of comic book superhero movies but with a Latino twist! Amazingly rote and unambitious stuff at this stage.

I thought the worst that could happen was a 6/10 and it couldn't physically be possible to make a worse Indi film than the Crystal Skull. I was wrong. Not only is it just a stupid and bad, it's also far more boring. For an unforgivable lack of imagination, a dullness beyond belief, the worst ever on screen use of Mad Mikkelsen, an awful Phoebe Waller-Bridge character and nearly no sequence that either sticks in the memory or justifies it being one of the most expensive films of all time - a BIG FAT ZERO OUT OF TEN.

What in tarnation is one time enfant terrible Ben Wheatley doing directing this!? (seriously, watch The Kill List or Sightseers). Happily, nearly everything is done better here than the lackluster first film, including a magnificent final third.

An entirely listenable but also slight release from the greatest electronic musician of all time.
