Alien (1979) - Rated 01 Jul 2025
"Timeless. This is only a little younger than my mother but we'd both believe it if it came out yesterday. Tightly packed, everything of significance and the score and the sets and the effects and on and on and on and everything's perfect."
KPop Demon Hunters (2025) - Rated 01 Jul 2025
"I love the sony animation studio and the animated spiderverse movies are some of my favourite full stop, that said, I don't really feel part of the target audience for this movie. They've done a really good job at making it not just cater to some specific niche but comparing it to any other random movie, the writing is just good enough, extremely cliched and dressed up nicely enough to mostly forget about it. The sequences, expressions (barring a few) and overall flow was solid."
5 Centimeters per Second (2007) - Rated 27 Jun 2025
The Phoenician Scheme (2025) - Rated 25 Jun 2025
"Your standard wes anderson, it is consistently mildly funny and engaging but never goes into any extremes. I enjoy his films, this one being no exception but I don't find the theater to have added any value to the experience. Tangents aside, I liked this one, learnt my lesson to do another in a theater unless heavily recommended."
Materialists (2025) - Rated 22 Jun 2025
"Really beautiful watch for much of its run (thankful for seeing it in a theater). The story floundered a bit after the first quarter of the movie, there were some more highs later but infrequent and less contiguous. I liked the performances of all three leads, I think dakota did a splendid job and her chemistry while not the usual romantic kind was still believable (with chris evans at least). Unlike Past Lives, I felt this movie have a very heavyhanded message but I dont mind."
How to Train Your Dragon (2025) - Rated 16 Jun 2025
"I wanted more big dragon :("
The Life of Chuck (2025) - Rated 14 Jun 2025
"Convoluted (in a good way) execution of the simple premise of facing death. It did not overstay its welcome, having made its point in 3 separately titled sections and the beautifully displayed message of optimism/living life to the fullest. Also the prelude to the dance sequence in the middle of the movie was really pretty."
Soul (2020) - Rated 09 Jun 2025
12 Angry Men (1957) - Rated 09 Jun 2025
"Constantly engaging and showing its central points about valuing human life and the dehumanization that modern processes seem to encourage in everyday folk. The bits with arguing sometimes felt dated in their character archetypes, the preachy old man, called out constantly by the big bad antagonist does not feel like someone I'd see in that exact form in real life. However, the character interactions with their conversation and body language and so on was done perfectly. No notes no additions."
The Boy and the Heron (2023) - Rated 09 Jun 2025
