"+15 for very cozy mid 00’s chick-flick. Critics seem to have abused this movie to show how smart they are by the good old “calling the time travel mechanics wrong”. So what!! The preposterousness is romantic!!"

"I'm obviously in my Dardenne-phase, i'm eating it all up like never before and i'm throwing around megascores left and right like it's nothing. The formula is always very similar and -every- movie in the first 5 minutes i feel resistance to watch it, but i always feel so happy by the end, a little more empathetic, a little more streetwise. Unusual to hear music in their movies, but it's an interesting 5 second transitional fragment of a familiar concerto, perhaps a meta-play on this exception"

"Overproduced sludge, silly in so many ways. The british are so reliably bad at “prestige” tv"

20 4% Masters of the Air (2024) - Rated 17 Mar 2024
"CGI bombers firing down cliches with unparalleled destructive power. Anyone that dares to liken this to Band of Brothers needs a Lüger service weapon to the head. This is fucking A.I Top Gun in World War 2. I’m losing my mind reconciling the fact that it’s the same writer and producers. They must have had a collective illness or else BoB had some driving creative forces that are obviously NOT involved in the making of Masters of Air. It’s a perfect token for my desperation about tv in the 20s"
90 96% L'Enfant (2005) - Rated 16 Mar 2024
"The treatment of the incredibly annoying Bruno is so non-judgmental, so honest and precise that he somehow becomes an intruiging character that i'm slowly starting to understand through the following of his actions. Renier acts out inner dialog (though it's debatable to be for sure to what extent he has it) with 10s shots of just his face and the directors have this confidence in him and the audience that we're there with him. Premium masterclass show don't tell with an exhilarating ending"

"Paul Mescal makes for a very entertaining American farmer, he's got it down pat."
45 20% Stopmotion (2023) - Rated 16 Mar 2024
"Just soulless hopping from genre cliche to genre cliche. Some scenes work okay mostly because of the good actress, others are gruesomely cringe, but rest assured absolutely nothing is in any way original. Is that seriously the extent of the ambition on board? I usually look up the creators of these kind of movies expecting them to be 23 and it would all make sense, but these are actually usually weathered adults!"
