Ah, Predator: Badlands was cute. He might've gone half across the universe to find a perfect prey, but what he found was companionship instead. A love story for the ages. ❤️❤️❤️

I know that the final twist of Bugonia is the part of the Korean original but I don't know, I feel like it undercuts any messaging that this film might have aimed at. Unless the message was Job's nihilism, but that feels like a cop-out. Great score, though! Loud and oppresive, reminescent of...

Sometimes the beauty of cinema is that it lets you inhabit lives of other people, get to know them and see what they think of. Love was exactly that - a small drama about the love lives of a Norwegian doctor and a nurse. Smart, well acted, with some good food for thought. Really liked it.

favourite example being Sedhat, an Ethiopian priest looking as if he came straight out of an Orthodox icon in a world drawn in a style of Western European book illustrations from 16th century), to how it is interested in such a wide array of issues, from relationships between abbeys and local...

It's a tragedy that Obsidian is owned by Microsoft these days. I've finally started playing Pentiment after buying the game months ago and this might be the first time ever that playing a video game made me feel smarter. From how it uses typefaces and artstyle for storytelling purposes (my...

There are few worse things that can happen to a person than becoming famous overnight. Asghar Farhadi's "A Hero" portrays the insanity that is viral stardom, while also criticizing the current state of Iranian's justice system. A film that is worth seeing, even if its inception...

I would have never expected a Safdie bro movie to be lethargic but here we are! The Smashing Machine just never seems to get going. It also doesn't help that I do not understand the fascination that Hollywood has with wrestlers these days. If we have to get sport biopics, pick some other discipline!

Watching Franz, the newest film by Agnieszka Holland, made me think of Nora Ephron's Julie & Julia. While both movies are certainly interested in documenting the story of their main characters, they also explore the audience's relationship with their protagonists' works and much...

Sorcerer ROCKS. A truly stupendous piece of action filmmaking whose influence feels so wide-spanning. From Fury Road to this year's Sirat, so many movies feel like they owe a lot to this one. Roy Scheide ris as excellent as ever, the vibe is bleak, everyone is sweaty and on a verge...

I loved Velvet Goldmine. Loosely inspired by David Bowie's relationship with Iggy Pop and Lou Reed, it recounts the early 70's rock scene in a wonderfully dream-like and visually inspired way. Ewan McGregor does a fantastic rendition of Gimme Danger, so what more can anyone ask for?

I've just seen the face of the silver Daft Punk guy for the first time and it's honestly shocking how... normal he looks. Those helmets used to be such a source of mystique and the fact that he's now appearing in public without it feels like a bit of a desecration.

Cocoon is great. You're just a little guy, carrying your little orb pocket dimension, solving puzzles along the way. I love it.

With so many movies on my watchlist leaving the Criterion Channel by the end of the month, I am doing my best to watch all of them. The next one on my list was Alex Proyas's The Crow and I can totally see why it is considered to be a cult classic. The movie is SO early 90's in so many good ways...,

Man, Altered States has the juice! What I originally thought would be kind of a riff on The Fly (I know it was made before Cronenberg's version, but you get the idea), turned out to be much weirder and more profound than I originally anticipated, blending in body horror with elements of 2001:...

On Wednesday I watched Grey Gardens, which is a documentary about Edith Bouvier Beale, Jackie Kennedy's aunt, and her daughter, Edie, and their life in the titular Grey Gardens estate, which was badly run down at the time of the movie's shoot due to years of neglect.

Following Do Not Expect Too Much from the End of the World, which was one of my favourite films of the last year, would always be a tall order. Thankfully the next film by Radu Jude, Kontinental '25, is another win. The movie does not really have that much of a story (following an eviction that...

I don't think it's a coincidence some of the best cinema of 2025 centers around a parent and a child facing an incredibly perilous situation in a present-day setting (or at least one that is direct allegory of it). How does a family survive when faced a world ravaged by war, disease, prejudice?
