Threads (1984) - Rated 04 Aug 2025
"Truly horrific and bleak. The lack of polished visuals means the build up and attack are conveyed by still images and a cold, documentary style that is highly effective. The aftermath is almost crushing, showing the horrors the survivors go through."
The Courier (2020) - Rated 01 Aug 2025
"Decent watch, bit too much telling than showing."
Predator: Killer of Killers (2025) - Rated 28 Jul 2025
"Loved it. Properly violent but still involving. Let Trachtenburg do all the Predator things going forward."
Jurassic World: Rebirth (2025) - Rated 28 Jul 2025
"It's maybe not as bad as the recent trilogy, but I'm not arguing the point either way. Really so very what, despite the star power of the leading trio. Gareth Edwards does his best and John Williams score elevates a trip to the shops. But I just didn't care."
Superman (2025) - Rated 28 Jul 2025
"Well I like it. Launching in full tilt with a brief screen of text is ballsy, but I liked it. I want more time with this Superman to know how I feel about David Corenswet, but it's not an immediate no. Really liked Nicholas Hoult as Luthor, that tension between intelligence and ferocity is well played."
King of Thieves (2018) - Rated 28 Jul 2025
"Lovely to see all these actors sharing screen time together. (The use of footage of the main cast in previous films at the end worked nicely for me). The problem is that the heist is interesting (and how it nearly goes wrong). The fallout isn't as compelling. It's a staple of heist films for it to unravel but I'm not bothered who gets caught. Worth a watch for the cast."
Scott of the Antarctic (1948) - Rated 28 Jul 2025
"Really well shot exploration of an infamous disaster. The film really conveys just how merciless the environment is."
The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) - Rated 28 Jul 2025
"I love the 60s aesthetic, it's an efficient introduction to the Four, I do want to see more of them. I liked the film turning kaju-esque when Galactus arrives. It does have the "something big is coming" factor hanging over it though."
In a Lonely Place (1950) - Rated 30 Jun 2025
"It's a monster of a performance by Bogart. I'm not sure the "did-he-didn't-he" is given enough room. You do have to give it some leeway for the attitudes of the time, or it turns into PTSD vs Red Flags, The Movie."
28 Years Later (2025) - Rated 30 Jun 2025
"I'm still not sure how to feel about it. Lot's of ideas, many interesting, not sure if it's fully fleshed out. Great acting performances."
