69 32% Society (1989) - Rated 27 Mar 2024
"Doesn't pull off the high-minded thematic ideas it seems to be intending, I guess because its a crappy b-movie. I don't even know what elite satire was even intended, nothing makes any coherent sense. So that kind of ruins any credibility for the film. But the weird finale is surely noteworthy in Hollywood effect design history, so all credit for this film should go to Screaming Mad George for his great work."
90 97% Dune (1984) - Rated 20 Mar 2024
"Full of Lynchian mysticality, weird pulsing vibes and visual treats."
10 0% Poor Things (2023) - Rated 17 Mar 2024
"Apparently arthouse feminist films made and written by men are allowed to degrade, exploit and humiliate a woman (?) in the name of a muddy problematic moral message about sexual liberation(?). But of course, because "that's the entire point!". Shallower than a Sahara puddle. The film clearly enjoys and revels in gratuitous disgusting imagery which was disturbing, but also undermines the argument that it's a satirical crit. Style over substance in a film like this makes it a poor thing indeed."
20 2% Exodus: Gods and Kings (2014) - Rated 10 Mar 2024
"how did they even f up the red sea parting scene? they made it look like the tide had just naturally gone out a bit. There was no sense that anything supernatural had taken place at all, and no sense that Moses was responsible in any way. Yet then, suddenly, they do do the whole 'big wave' scene once Ramses turns up to get wiped out. Just an utter moronic mess."
73 48% Mothra vs. Godzilla (1964) - Rated 08 Feb 2024
"Godzilla in this is like a clumsy drunk - most of his initial destruction is oddly slapstick, he gets tail stuck in an antenna tower, then proceeds to trip and fall into Tokyo castle."
80 76% Godzilla vs. Megaguirus (2000) - Rated 25 Jan 2024
"Swing at the king you better not miss. And to be fair, Megaguiras doesn't, but the black hole firing satellite weapon launched into space orbiting Earth (???) does. Maybe. Twice. By the end it turns out Godzilla was b lining to destroy the Institute of Science the whole time. Enjoy the fun!"
89 94% Godzilla Minus One (2023) - Rated 17 Jan 2024
"Thematically resonant of Bruce Willis' Armageddon. This is the best looking Gojira monster yet. Godzilla is usually seen as modern myth for a whole people, but this story focuses very much on the personal life of one individual, and this storyline is the main focus of the film, which can give an offbeat pace but it pays off, with Godzilla this time symbolising man's lingering inner demons."
97 99% The Boy and the Heron (2023) - Rated 07 Jan 2024
"May be, the most meaningful, mysterious, symbolic, existential and emotional film Miyazaki-san has ever made. The layers of meaning in so many aspects of this subtle and thoughtful film is overwhelming. This is the clear-minded product of a wisened old master at the very top of his craft. Footnote: by far his most intellectually challenging of his career, people around me in the cinema just didn't seem to understand what was going on, let alone the themes."
65 29% Senna (2010) - Rated 19 Nov 2023
"The good reviews must be simply because it's about Senna, as a film, it was a mediocre effort carried along by an extraordinary man. So much more could have been done, lots of interesting things was left out, including some fascinating details about what Senna did after Ratzenbergers fatality, and generally just more insight into the man."
79 68% The Lord of the Rings (1978) - Rated 04 Nov 2023
"Atmospheric, brooding ambitious and artistic but unfinished early interpretation of LOTR that Peter Jackson 'borrowed' a strangely large amount from. A few scenes of genuine animation genius, especially when Frodo slips into the dark world and is being hunted by the dark horseman of the apocalypse."
