Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

Book 5 of 2026: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. A decent adventure for Harry in his 2nd year at Hogwarts. He has to discover who is attacking students (and ghosts) at the school, and clear Hagrid’s name. All leading to a memorable showdown with you know who #booksky 📚

Troll 2

Film 7 of 2026: Troll 2. More of the same, a second Troll gets loose in Norway. The team get back together with some new additions including a friendly Troll. It’s all done with a some decent effects and some human characters. A fun monster flick #filmsky #moviesky 🎬

The Midnight Sky

Film 6 of 2026: The Midnight Sky. I liked this scifi film about a man with a terminal illness in a remote outpost while the rest of the planet suffers a catastrophe and a the crew of a spaceship returns to earth. George Clooney does a good job and you don’t see the twist coming #filmsky #moviesky 🎬

Trump tariffs illegal says Supreme Court

“Trump tariffs illegal says Supreme Court”

Ha ha ha ha ha ha

Rebuild the Galaxy

Rebuild the Galaxy: Pieces of the Past

TV Series 6 and 7: Rebuild the Galaxy, and Pieces of the Past. My wife got me a Lego set from this so felt I had to watch it. It was a lot of fun, especially Servo the robot and all the goodies turned baddies. #tvsky #rebuildthegalaxy 📺

Bet365 advertising used a background making it very difficult to read the actual cricket scores

Horrific use of advertising by Bet365 on @cricinfo.bsky.social - I can barely read the scores. "Never Ordinary" but always annoying

Ciudad de Sombras

TV Series 5 of 2026: Ciudad de Sombras. A suspended policeman is called back to investigate a person burnt alive hanging from the Casa Mila in Barcelona. A decent crime drama that shows of Barcelona, in particular the architecture of Gaudí. Watched in Spanish (I didn’t get the Catalan!) #tvsky 📺

Dune

Film 5 of 2026: Dune (1984). Supposedly a classic but I found it very difficult to watch. Poor special effects (compared to Star Wars for instance), bad costumes, wooden acting and god awful whispered thoughts on the soundtrack. I suppose it was groundbreaking in the 80s #filmsky #moviesky 🎬

28 Years Later

Film 4 of 2026: 28 Years Later. Survivors living on a small island raid the mainland occasionally where infected are somehow still alive (they all died out within 28 weeks). Also zombies can be slow (Slow Lows), intelligent (Alphas) and can also get pregnant #filmsky #moviesky 🎬

28 Weeks Later

Film 3 of 2026: 28 Weeks Later. I had seen this years ago but wanted to watch it again before 28 Years Later. I had forgotten it is mostly set on the Isle of Dogs which I know very well. An ok sequel if you ignore the geography of London. Not actually required for the next film #filmsky #moviesky 🎬

As goes the Washington Post: US democracy takes another hit under Trump Jeff Bezos’s axing of more than 300 jobs at the storied newspaper has renewed fears about the resilience of America’s democracy to withstand Trump’s attacks

“Democracy dies in Darkness”. Trump is switching off the lights

Let me guess, he’s either going to knock it down and build something horrible in its place or he’s going to cover the inside with gold

Monk and Robot: A Psalm for the Wild Built and A Prayer for the Crown-Shy

Books 3 and 4 of 2026. A Psalm for the Wild Built, and A Prayer for the Crown-Shy by Becky Chambers. Having read the Wayfarers series and enjoyed them I was eager to read these. They are equally beautiful in the way they tackle the human condition. The Wild Robot for adults #booksky 📚

Great headline

It’s almost as if the tariffs haven’t fixed the “emergency” they were brought in to solve

Seven Dials

TV Series 5 of 2026: Seven Dials. A decent Agatha Christie murder mystery (I haven’t read the book so don’t know how accurate it is). Enjoyed the main character and Martin Freeman as the policeman. Felt like they were setting up further series. #tvsky 📺

The Fall Guy

Film 2 of 2026: The Fall Guy. I wanted this to be funny and fun but although Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling try I didn’t feel they pulled it off. A shame as I remember watching the series in the 80s. A few good moments but disappointing. #moviesky #filmsky 🎬

His & Hers

TV Series 4 of 2026: His & Hers. I wasn’t sure about this after the first episode. None of the main characters are particularly likeable, only the detectives partner Priya seems to have a brain. But it does build to a double twist at the end and I didn’t see either coming. #tvsky #hisandhers 📺

Real Tigers by Mick Herron

Book 2 of 2026: Real Tigers. The third in the Slow Horses books by Mick Herron. I actually enjoyed this more than the previous books. Better paced and more interesting with decent roles for all the characters. #booksky 📚

Stranger Things 5

TV Series 3 of 2026: Stranger Things 5. A decent end to the show, everyone gets a job to do throughout the series. I had expected a higher cost to be paid by the group of characters, and the last hour was really just tying up everyone’s stories but enjoyed it. #tvsky 📺

Run Away

TV Series 2 of 2026: Run Away. A fairly typical Harlan Coben story. There are twists and intrigue in every episode, and the last one is a doozy. Decent performances from James Nesbitt and Ruth Jones. #tvsky 📺

This weaponising of tariffs by Trump to punish countries who don’t agree with him makes a mockery of his original claim that trade deficits were the reason for his “liberation day” tariffs. I hope the Supreme Court is watching this, bring on that judgement that will stop him

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone

Book 1 of 2026: Harry Potter & the Philosopher’s Stone. I had never read this before, we were given the set for my 8 year old son. It’s perhaps a little advanced for an 8 year old although he did seem to enjoy it, but there were a lot of questions throughout. We are on to the second one #booksky 📚

A Minecraft Movie

Film 1 of 2026: A Minecraft Movie. What to say about this? Basically terrible, but it has Minecraft stuff so the boy loved it. Jack Black plays himself (just named Steve), Jason Momoa plays a washed up video game champion and there are some kids. I like Minecraft but not this #filmsky #moviesky 🎬

Love, Death + Robots

TV Series 1 of 2026: Love, Death + Robots series 1. Been watching this on and off throughout last year. Some nice little short animated sci-fi films. Very varied animation styles and subject matter. I will definitely watch the other seasons. #tvsky 📺

I think Trump meant that the only thing that would restrain him is his own “Mortality” - he certainly has no morals

Children of Time by @aptshadow.bsky.social

La Huella del Mal

Film 42 of 2025: La Huella del Mal. An ok thriller, based in Atapuerca archaeological site, with the theme of evil in human nature. A girl is found killed in the same way as an unsolved case. A twist at the end that I didn’t see coming. We watched in Spanish. #filmsky #moviesky #peliculasky 🎬

Wake Up Dead Man

Film 41 of 2025: Wake Up Dead Man. Takes a while to get going with a good hour of setup. Once it does it is an intriguing mystery with many nods to books. Some good acting from Josh O’Conner, Josh Brolin and Glenn Close. Better than Glass Onion, not as good as Knives Out #filmsky #moviesky 🎬
