| 6 35% | Spectre (2015) - Rated 05 Oct 2024
"(2nd viewing) My seemingly never-ending Bond marathon is almost reaching its conclusion with a penultimate entry that mostly takes a stroll around snoozetown after a rather promising start. Christoph Waltz is just happy to be there."

| 6 35% | Happy Together (1997) - Rated 05 Oct 2024
"Look up the word ‘cinematography’ in a dictionary, and if the name Christopher Doyle isn’t mentioned, throw that book away asap."
|
| 6 35% | La nuit se traîne (2024) - Rated 23 Sep 2024
"Starts off promisingly but veers into implausible wild directions too quickly. Blanchart definitely shows potential as a filmmaker, it's just a matter of sensibly dialing down its intensity next time around."
|
| 7 58% | Tatami (2023) - Rated 17 Sep 2024
"One of the better, or at least, better looking movies of recent months. My annoyance, however, with the film is twofold: it creates tension from a contrived scenario - if the Iranian regime panicked after less then 3 rounds because she could eventually face an Israeli opponent, they could’ve/should’ve easily panicked before the tournament had even started - and the political commentary is about subtle as a brick through a glass window, telling us something we all already know."
|
| 6 35% | Alien: Romulus (2024) - Rated 15 Sep 2024
"Pointless, redundant and altogether forgettable. If making a successful movie these days means catering to older generations with nostalgic fan service while casting faceless young actors in the lead roles because a 16-year-old can't identify with someone that looks like Harry Dean Stanton, then count me out. Rumor has it that Ian Holm is still rendering in Premiere Pro."
|
| 6 35% | Le comte de Monte-Cristo (2024) - Rated 10 Sep 2024
"Looks great but good Lord, it’s way too long and at 43M€, ridiculously expensive. The main reason I enjoy cinema less and less these days is because I’ve reached a point where my brain cannot pretend anymore it is not watching a film. As if the veil of the illusion has been irreversibly lifted and I’m sitting there bored most of the time because the magic is forever gone."
|
| 6 35% | Monster (2023) - Rated 09 Sep 2024
"Remove its multiple perspective approach, some of which are competely redundant, and there's barely a movie to speak of, as if that narrative method is employed by Koreeda merely to camouflage what's obviously a lacking narrative."
|
| 5 20% | A Single Man (2009) - Rated 07 Sep 2024
"(2nd viewing) Didn’t age so well, or maybe I’m not the same viewer I was 15 years ago. I admire Ford’s ambition and intention, but it mostly plays like a gay fantasy where the story gets drowned out by sentimentality and an oversensitive style that may have been better suited for a perfume commercial rather than a feature film."
|
| 5 20% | Trap (2024) - Rated 01 Sep 2024
"Was honestly fun for a while but it eventually sinks to levels of stupidity that are frankly insulting. I can only suspend my disbelief for so long."
|
| 6 35% | Emilia Perez (2024) - Rated 28 Aug 2024
"So ridiculous it becomes fascinating to watch. At least for a while as it starts to drag (no pun intended) by the second half. Doesn’t really give you a reason to care about anything or anyone but kudos to Audiard, however, for always trying something different."
