The Corpse Bride: I would have thought I'd posted about this before, apparently not. I re watched it around Halloween. It's a fun Tim Burton movie, if you like Nightmare Before Christmas, you'll probably like this. Nightmare is on a grander scale but I think maybe I like this story better? I don't know, give it a try.

The Theory of Everything: I didn't initially post about this movie because I stopped watching partway through the movie.  What I did see was beautifully filmed and I learned quite a lot about Stephen Hawking. I had no idea about his family life or even that he'd had one. I stopped watching because it was too hard, hard to watch what was happening to Stephen and hard seeing how his family life was falling apart. I didn't want to go on.

The Mask of Zorro: I don't know a lot about the Zorro story, I've seen some Zorro movies but I don't know how this movie compares to the original. It's an entertaining action movie, it's also one that you shouldn't think too hard about.

Spectre: So this may be the last Daniel Craig Bond film, it's also where the reset sort of rejoins the rest of the Bond-vers(?). I've really enjoyed the reset and I was worried that this would be too much like the super cheesy Bond's past. It did have cheesy moments but I think it was pretty good. It was also more tasteful than many of the Bond movies... more cutting away. There is still violence and some very unpleasant things and a lot of barely covered nudity in the opening sequence but over all it was a good movie.
