Movie Review – Greed
Director: Michael Winterbottom Starring: Steve Coogan, David Mitchell, Isla Fisher Year: 2019 Michael Winterbottom likes to work with Steve Coogan, which is great, but unfortunately Greed is more The Look of Love than The Trip franchise, except also much, much worse.

Merchant gives us what is

Movie Review – A Bridge Too Far
Director: Richard Attenborough Starring: Everyone Year: 1977 Where The Bridge on the River Kwai and The Great Escape succeeded, A Bridge Too Far failed. Although, those former two are POW movies, where the latter is about active warfare, so perhaps it would be more appropriate to compare it to two more modern features, like Saving
