Obsessed with movies. When I’m not working at a place that screens them, I’m watching them or thinking about them.
Primate: this film features elements of many different films but doesn’t present them in any fresh and interesting way. The makers had the perfect opportunity to make it interesting staring them in the face but chose instead to make a bland, boring horror film.

Song Sung Blue: the love of Mike & Clair plus the feel good nature vibes just radiates off the screen. In large part because of the Neil Diamond songs but also the phenomenal performances of Hugh and Kate. There’s tragedy & sadness but that just adds depth to the story.

The Secret Agent: a brilliant jigsaw puzzle of a film that slowly reveals each piece of the amazing & beautiful story. It has so many layers. All performances are amazing and led by the stunningly charismatic Wagner Moura. I really enjoyed all the movie references too.

Back To The Past: I didn’t know this is based on a TV series from 20 years ago. It feels like a TV movie and doesn’t have a very cinematic quality. While it’s fun and the action is decent, the special effects aren’t very good and it looks very cheap considering the ambition.

Marty Supreme: a truly epic work of art. A finely crafted character study that goes in many wild and crazy places. A not terribly likeable character but you can’t help but get carried along by his journey. Chalamet is amazing but I get the sense that he’s not really acting.

28 Years Later… The Bone Temple: an excellent chapter in this horror series. Very different to the previous films showing how the dark side of humanity can develop in this situation. All the cast are excellent but the show is stolen by Jack O’Connell. Fiennes too is amazing.

Orwell 2 + 2 = 5: an incredibly important film that needs to be seen by everyone but probably won’t. It focuses mostly on how Orwell’s ‘1984’ is so relevant to today. This aspect of it didn’t surprised me. I was more fascinated by how it covers Orwell’s life story as well.

The SpongeBob Movie: Search For SquarePants: I have never seen the TV series but always found the movies a great deal of fun. This film is no exception. It’s very silly and very stupid but is so incredibly delightful. You can’t help but get carried along by the adventure.

The Fire Raven: a really fun film that is a great mixture of genres. It’s primarily a murder mystery but has action and comedy as well. It does get very corny and cheesy at times. I also didn’t understand why it had a futuristic setting either. But I didn’t mind.

The Choral: it’s nice to occasionally go see a just generally pleasant film. The story is predictable and one we have seen countless times before but I didn’t mind. I know there are people like these characters but I don’t know how they function with all the prejudices they have.

My Brother’s Band: a really sweet and charming feel good film. You know where the story is going but don’t mind too much. We’ve seen similar stories many times before. Pierre Lottin and Benjamin Lavernhe are excellent as the titular brothers.

Rental Family: this film is morally reprehensible. It’s a supposedly ‘feel good’ film about a bad company that you’re supposed to think is doing good but they are in fact doing bad things. I know it’s supposed to be real so maybe it’s a cultural thing. I liked Brendan Fraser.

The Housemaid: I’m sure there are people out there who will enjoy this film but I’m not one of them. It takes itself far too seriously when it could have been so much fun. None of the characters are likeable and a lot of the plot doesn’t make any sense. It’s also far too long.

Anaconda: to try something different remakes are now going meta. This film is silly, stupid and parts of it don’t make sense, but I found it hilarious and a great deal of fun. It’s about filmmaking so that appeals too. Steve Zahn is by far the best of the cast.

The Golden Spurtle: further proof that there is something out there for everyone. I grew up eating porridge during winter but have not had it in a while. A very delightful film about a group of lovely people. It has amateur quality that just adds to the charm.

The History Of Sound: a lovely queer film where the gay relationship is not a great detriment. The story is not very remarkable but it’s still an enjoyable and pleasant film. Probably should be called ‘The History Of Song’. Both leads give nicely understated performances.

Zootopia 2: being detective stories I enjoy these films more than most Disney animations. It’s a little annoying that Nick and Judy are never taken seriously even with clear evidence. But that happens. Despite that it’s a fun film and while funny it could have used more jokes.

Kokuhō: a gorgeous looking film with a beautiful story of the life of a kabuki performer. It’s a familiar story but I found this film refreshingly different. The kabuki performances are amazing but I found the training and preparation more fascinating.

I got far more value for money from six minutes of #TheOdyssey than I got from 197 minutes of #AvatarFireAndAsh

Avatar: Fire & Ash: better than the first two films but only slightly. Still full of plot holes but none as huge as those we’ve had previously. I still need to know if the people on Earth know what’s happening on Pandora.

Nuremberg: I knew of this trial but was not aware of the details so found it very educational. It’s an excellent film that is a bit cliched and corny at times but very relevant. All performances are excellent but I particularly enjoyed Rami Malek. Definitely his best work.

Nouvelle Vague: I might need to do some research into French New Wave. I love films about filmmaking so I enjoyed that aspect. But I felt you needed prior knowledge of French New Wave to fully appreciate what was happening. The relevance of all these people depicted.

Silent Night, Deadly Night: I enjoyed this a lot more than I expected having not seen the original. It’s a fun Christmas horror film with a cool plot. It implies a lot of menace when it doesn’t need to. We know it’s a horror film you don’t need to hit us over the head with it.

Ella McCay: although the film is set in 2008, considering what American politics is like at the moment it feels very quaint and old fashioned like it’s set in the 50’s. Ella is too sweet and nice to be a politician. The ‘scandals’ that happen are also very sweet and lightweight.
