If you rename the Department of Defense the Department of War, then bomb fishing boats in the Caribbean, and shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper bullet, you should automatically be barred from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for the rest of your life.

I am fully, completely, and instantly in love with this whole Harley Quinn deal. 😍

'The Naked Gun' (2025)

Shockingly unfunny.

A lot of people have gone right down in my estimation for thinking this is funny.

COVID has clearly rotted your brains.

Justify that r slur to me and I'll hear your argument for the rest of the film being worthwhile

'The Sea Beast' (2022)

Lovely animation, a fabulous feisty girl, Karl Urban swearing a lot (in my head) and some delightful creature design.

'maybe you can be a hero and still be wrong' is a hell of a lesson to build a story around.

Blue is the goodest wet dogblob.

'Predator: Killer of Killers' (2025)

Went into this with no expectations. Great fun, nicely bloody, actually engaging and with some gorgeous sequences.

A rip roaring good time.

'Godzilla x Kong: The new Empire' (2024)

I adore this silly film and my favourite kaiju throuple.

Dan Stevens is neurodivergent enby goals in this film and I love him for it.

'Last ride' (2009)

Gorgeous cinematography, brutal performances.

Extremely well done all around. I will never watch this film again.

My favourite review of this just says 'devastating!'

'The Ritual' (2025)

With a different director, and different stylistic choices, this could have been really interesting, I was reminded of the exorcism of Emily Rose, but not in a way that reflected well on this film.

Al Pacino is also here I guess, playing some kind of Redwall badger.

'Adulthood' (2025)

All of these people are terrible, learn nothing, have a horrible time, and are trapped in awful lives.

Anthony Carrigan is a delight, as ever.
