Ready Or Not (2019)


The trouble with the premise of this quirky slasher - that a bride playing hide and seek on her wedding night discovers the game, played with her gaming family in-laws, is a murderous one - is that too quickly the bride is able to extricate herself from the family's gothic mansion, a move akin to taking your queen off the chessboard so it can run free across the game table, turning the game into a not terribly interesting foot chase outside between her and just one member of the in-laws' entourage...as though having set up the goofy premise the movie then didn't have enough smarts to keep the idea going for very long.

Groundhog Day (1993)


Bill Murray is perfect as the worldweary, bad-mannered weather presenter Phil who finds himself living the same excruciating day over and over in small town America, in this hilarious 80s comedy classic from Harold Ramis which sees Phil first becoming dismayed by his situation, then taking full advantage of it, and finally learning the lesson that frees him.
