It's time for that "new year, new me" bullshit... am I right? While I think that's all a bunch a crap (If you want to start a diet, quit smoking, whatever - DO  IT NOW!) one of my resolutions for the new year is going to see more live shows (concerts, comedy, theatre, anything!), and movies.

To give you an example of how behind I am, I still haven't watched It Chapter Two or Doctor Sleep, and I have seen ​Alita: Battle Angel only because it was on the plane on the very long flight to Australia. But in 2020 things have to go back to normal, so let's have a look at what's coming out in January.
