One Mann's Movies Review of the Live Action Short Films from the 2025 Oscars, being announced on March 2nd.

A fun and moderately uplifting slice of rom-com fantasy with a side order of grief. Unpredictable and quirky, but I found it to have some pacing issues that made it feel longer than it was. 3.5/5.

A One Mann’s Movies review of “Scary Movie”. (2026, 0.5*, 15). Also known as: Scary Movie 6. So, I pride myself that once I start a movie in the cinema I will stick with it to the end.

A One Mann’s Movies review of “De Gaulle: Liberté”. (2026, 4*, 15). Original title: La bataille de Gaulle: J'écris ton nom The second part of the French-produced mega-production, De Gaulle: Liberté follows on from the fabulous De Gaulle: Résistance that I saw at the back end of last month. The second part is still brilliant - a truly impressive production in its ambition and scope - but, for me, fails to quite meet the bar of the first film. But once again, it is an intriguing take on an aspect of the war I really knew nothing about.
