Nosferatu (2024) - Rated 26 Jan 2025
The Parallax View (1974) - Rated 26 Jan 2025
"Good punching sound effects"
Waterworld (1995) - Rated 26 Jan 2025
"Why would he wait for all the limes to get ripe at the same time then pick them all at once it’s like he’s asking for a lime thief to appear out of nowhere."
Small Things Like These (2024) - Rated 30 Dec 2024
"Well made. Cillian Murphy carries the emotion of the film in his silence and expression while the quiet and sharp cinematography does the rest. Some of the scenes and acting within the Magdeline home felt a little off but nothing detrimental."
Apocalypse Now (1979) - Rated 30 Dec 2024
"Psychedlic and horrific, the jungle becomes the web of the mind, the river carries you deeper into the psyche, the land pulses, sweat beads on skin, light skews and suddenly you are alone and surrounded at once by everyone and yourself, and everything else disappears and you find yourself an island at the end of the world."
Platoon (1986) - Rated 30 Dec 2024
"Felt like every any war film. Banal and boring minus a few decent suspenseful moments before shoot em up Johnny action scenes."
Streetwise (1984) - Rated 11 Dec 2024
"Heartbreaking. Such a beautiful doc."
Dead Poets Society (1989) - Rated 11 Dec 2024
"This one always hits. Pains me not to have discovered it earlier in life."
Jiro Dreams of Sushi (2011) - Rated 28 Nov 2024
"Another film saying what we love to hear about success: have kids but don't be present for them; work until you hate the idea of a holiday; sacrifice everything for career 'success'. And after 30 minutes of everyone jacking Jiro off, we could have cut the film there and not watched the next 50 minutes."
Before Sunrise (1995) - Rated 22 Aug 2024
"Is it that a film like this feels ever-possible - the chance coming together of destined souls? There’s something to be said here about what isn’t in the film; no day job, no family, no friends. There is only the present. The same way a scientist limits her variables, does it succeed in its ability to isolate falling in love through all the things absent? So, maybe it’s not as ever-possible as it seems - or maybe that's the real romance - watching something like this, reality in the backseat."
