  Glory 1989

  ★★★★½ Watched 13 Jan 2025

  Excellently shot and visually gripping scenes of battle for the history buff with fantastic performances and a swelling emotional core. Criticsm of this film for indulging in white saviour tropes are understandable but these elements are handled with reasonable care given the 1989 release date.

  Zulu 1964

  ★★★★ Watched 09 Jan 2025

  Some pernicious elements of framing only detract slightly from this classic. Impressive visuals and costuming combined with stand out performances make this an thrilling watch even several decades after it's release.

  The Death of Stalin 2017

  ★★★★★ Watched 13 Jan 2025

  Wickedly funny and genuinely harrowing at points. Equal parts farce and political thriller. A darkly comic tour de force.
