"You're never too small to dream big". The bizarre attitudes of this film are both off the planet and down to earth and the story really wouldn't work otherwise. What an orchestrated bunch of nonsense. Not worth the time invested, any positive messages here are strongly countered by the opposite.

The Thursday Murder Club (2025) - Rated 05 Sep 2025

Harsh criticism to call it anything but decent. Certainly not a movie that will become a cult classic or even last through the ages, but to fill in 110 minutes it does what it needs to.

Inglourious Basterds (2009) - Rated 16 Aug 2025

Truly there are no "right" and "wrong" sides of wars, but perspectives that make it so. This movie examines how perspectives change when the shoe is on the other foot. Only survivors get to write history.

The Way, Way Back (2013) - Rated 29 Mar 2025

Decent. I still think that Empire Records did it better. Maybe it was the music. Maybe it was the female lead. Maybe I was a different person. Still a fun watch, but not a category definer.

Wonka (2023) - Rated 23 Dec 2023

I don't know whether time, budget, artistic direction, or the pandemic changed the outcome of this film, but sure as anything something did. It could have been brilliant, a new 'Producers', but it fell short. Such a shame.
