The Long Walk, 2025 - ★★★½

Sun, 30 Aug 2026 20:06:57 +0000

The book left such an impression on me I was a little hesitant to watch this, but it does a good job of stirring the same feelings towards the young men and the world they’re trying to survive in.

The Kitchen, 2019 - ★★

Sun, 30 Aug 2026 08:27:41 +0000

A waste of some great actors.

Sing Sing, 2023 - ★★★★★

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 21:18:16 +0000

No notes.

Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, 2026 - ★★★★

Mon, 24 Aug 2026 20:12:34 +0000

I am both the intended audience for this (they had me at Anderson and Einbinder). And also not (can take or leave a slasher movie).

It’s not as surreal as earlier Schoenberg films, though still a little off the wall. I appreciated the artistry of the filmmaking again. And laughed way more than I expected. I think that humour was probably the making of it for me.

Trainspotting, 1996 - ★★★★

Sun, 09 Aug 2026 20:07:59 +0000

30th anniversary rewatch

Fri, 07 Aug 2026 19:20:45 +0000

Heartbreaking.

Jurassic Park, 1993 - ★★★★★

Sat, 01 Aug 2026 19:38:34 +0000

As good as I remembered it

The Invite, 2026 - ★★★½

Tue, 21 Jul 2026 17:39:17 +0000

Probably a better film than I have the capacity to appreciate right now. The acting is definitely something to marvel. And I appreciated the direction and use of space around the apartment.

I’m intrigued enough to try and track down the source material (play and Spanish film).

My main takeaway however is that I never want to be in a position to disappoint Penelope Cruz.

3 Women, 1977 - ★★★

Sun, 19 Jul 2026 21:07:12 +0000

What have I just watched? There’s the film and then there’s the score which sometimes seemed to be at odds. One thing is for sure the acting is immense.

Project Hail Mary, 2026 - ★★★★

Sat, 18 Jul 2026 20:13:41 +0000

A faithful adaptation and a great film in its own rights. I’d forgotten how much humour there is in the story - Reynolds does a great job in the delivery.

And I am a stubborn fool for not going to see this at the cinema.

A Private Life, 2025 - ★★★

Sun, 12 Jul 2026 13:43:41 +0000

Could also be called ‘Une étude des mains de Jodie Foster’

Happy Together, 1997 - ★★★★

Mon, 15 Jun 2026 20:44:52 +0000

I really felt Lai Yiu-Fai‘a sadness. So unmistakably Wong Kar-wai and yet never have I been more aware of his influence by French new wave cinema.

Dìdi (弟弟), 2024 - ★★★

Mon, 15 Jun 2026 17:45:08 +0000

Still sucks to be a teenager, huh.

Enjoyed this a lot. It continually surprised me.

Practical Magic, 1998 - ★★★

Sun, 26 Apr 2026 20:49:04 +0000

Brb, busy whipping up a spell to bring Sandra Bullock into my life.

Memories of Murder, 2003 - ★★★★

Sat, 25 Apr 2026 14:39:47 +0000

A slow burn. On the surface a tense hunt for a serial killer but underneath a complex character study.

Thor: Ragnarok, 2017 - ★

Mon, 06 Apr 2026 14:07:53 +0000

Dad’s choice. Not for me. Felt like a poor man’s Fifth Element with added Avengers.
