28 Years Later (2025) - Rated 01 Jul 2025
"Alex Garland hits it out of the park again. A beautifully written coming-of-age story set in a gruesome zombie world. Danny Boyle takes the script and delivers one of the most visually interesting movies of the year (so far). Ray Fiennes as an iodine-coated deranged doctor/artist is everything I need in a film."
F1: The Movie (2025) - Rated 01 Jul 2025
"The footage of the race sequences are some of the best out there for car/action movies. The rest of the story/script is painfully predictable and poorly executed. Anything that is not a racing scene seems to be something that the writers had to slap together to get to the next racing sequence. Still, had a great time seeing this in IMAX"
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) - Rated 23 Jun 2025
"Horrendous story structure. Cliche characters. Michelle Yeoh kicks ass"
Pee-wee's Big Adventure (1985) - Rated 13 Jun 2025
"A fun story that is directed, lit, and blocked way better than most movies of the era. A great demonstration of how strong directing and cinematography can elevate any film"
The Phoenician Scheme (2025) - Rated 06 Jun 2025
"Really solid movie. Perfect run time and pacing, and in the end a funny and heartfelt story. Benicio shows again why he is one of the best."
Mission: Impossible III (2006) - Rated 03 Jun 2025
"After the disaster that was MI:2, this is the film that the franchise needed. Its a hard reset that sets the tone for the rest of the series. Every action sequence flows well with the story and takes it time letting you live in it. The film does feel a bit rushed at the end, but otherwise this was a homerun"
Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning (2025) - Rated 30 May 2025
"This is one of the few times I've felt emotionally moved by stuntwork. Cruise, Mcquarry, and the stunt team absolutely nailed it. Yes, the film has its flaws. The stakes are insanely high, some characters have a hard time finding meaningful things to do... I still think this is one of, if not the best in the series."
Memoirs of a Geisha (2005) - Rated 30 May 2025
"Some bad writing and line delivery hold this film from being amongst the greatest. Still a very enjoyable film that I would happily watch again. Truly wish this film was entirely in Japanese instead of english"
Mission: Impossible 2 (2000) - Rated 18 May 2025
"Started off horrendously, then it got good, then it became horrendous again. The horniness level is turned up way too high in this film."
Better Man (2024) - Rated 17 May 2025
"If I have to hear another artist tell me they take too many drugs while having their manager screw them over financially, and their shitty relationship with their parents, I might start rooting for the drugs"
