Not as writer or director as far as I know but he was producer on blackklansman - might be that you’re thinking of?

The Lighthouse (2019)
Love the post processing and camera work, very authentic feeling. That being side, a very flat watch, there is such a slow momentum to the story that it almost lost my interest. Maybe another watch and it will grow on me.
Not to sound immature, but I couldn't help at times to feel like this is a movie you were forced to watch in school.

Animal House (1978) 6/10
Was great in its time im sure but a bit outdated in terms of humour. Hope my score doesnt upset anyone from that era.

Hah! Bluto was my hero back in 1978 (I was 21) but I've watched it much more recently and it hasn't aged all that well.
That is an issue with quite a few movies for me. Top Gun as mentioned above, also the Wayne’s World and Bill & Ted movies just grate now.
Interstellar in 4k - 9/10
I've already watched it about 4 or 5 times as it's an all time favourite, however re-watching all sorts now i've finally got a 4k TV.
I know it's massively marmite but i'm on the love it side, the music is what really sets it apart though, can evoke so much emotion to the point if any of the OST tracks come on my spotify randomly, I find myself strangely choked up.

He wrote the screenplay (and probably produced) the new Candyman that's being finished right now.
Where can I see this? Saw the trailer a few weeks back and really resonated with me.
Cheers, just wanted to ensure I hadn't missed it available on NF or anything like that.

Nightmare on Elm Street - 5/10 The premise is good, the execution is poor and the characters are dumb, Freddy isn't scary he was more comedic than horrific

Artemis Fowl - 0/10 .. awful film ! only reason we watched all the way through is the missus has OCD so once she starts watching something she has to finish!
she also has to watch things in order .. so i put on a Marvel film that was out of sync with the MCU timeline she freaked out

Chariots Of Fire 9/10 easily the best film I've seen in a wee while. Beautiful to look at, really well acted and builds tension and pay off nicely given we know the outcome. This film was probably quite expensive for a UK production of the time but it was all spent on costumes and sets. Pre-CGI no tricks or effects just great storytelling. Oh and how could I forget early eighties synth soundtrack by Vangelis cracking.
Unfortunately when the nutkins seize power it will be banned for being about a bunch of toffs and fella that really believes in God.(j/k)

Da 5 bloods 6/10

New Spike Lee film for Netflix. Promising idea but spoiled by no real ability to develop much empathy with the characters. I wanted to like it but it felt confused in what it was trying to be. Some almost black comedy moments quickly juxtaposed against some fairly undesirable human behaviour. The whole thing felt quite disjointed and a missed opportunity all leaving me not sure which way to feel about it. I think Spike Lee has a tendency to do this in order to wrongfoot the audience and make them really deal with uncomfortable truths but this just wasn't that enjoyable or thought provoking. Fabulous setting for a movie mind.

Insidious. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1591095/
Thoroughly enjoyed it. Not absolutely certain I understood the ending but I quite like to watch film analysis videos for insight anyway.
Most enjoyable film I've seen in a good few weeks or more.

Mission Impossible Fallout - 8/10
Longest of the bunch and it does feel a little long. The pace is quite good though, aside maybe it could have been 10 minutes shorter if the final scenes were a little less stretched out. Still, some great fights, chases and the usual great plot with twists and trickery.
