whelming
don’t know if i’d just absorbed too many memes about it prior to watching that sucked it’s impact, but it wasn’t as eerie, disconcerting or dark as i was lead to believe

A Star Is Born 2018
watching hungover, resulting in an intrigued but introspective experience, ending in me shedding tears, teetering on ugly crying
seriously impressed by bradley coopers acting and direction

Alien: Romulus 2024
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
a fantastically retro-futurist analog set hosts frustratingly vapid, uninteresting and undeveloped characters in a ‘does what it says on the tin’ sci fi horror that is an enjoyable and gorey watch, that doesn’t offer anything more
maybe i’m just jaded and hungover on a sunday but my suspension of disbelief can only be made to worry so much about the never ending washing machine of inbound perils the group face, be it air locks closing, in coming asteroids, or hordes of xenos, where seemingly none of it has any tangible gravity (space joke)
David Jonsson as Andy was a real highlight though, played brilliantly

Poor Things 2023
emma stone stars as a sexual, surreal, and sci-fi version of simple jack.
pomp with a charmingly timeless quirk, the production value is brilliant - full of fantastically detailed costumes, sets and colour palettes. casting is excellent with stone ruffalo and defoe bringing their A game. cleverly written dialogue intersplices the curious mannerisms of the characters with blunt profanity, resulting in a bunch of quotables.
as macabre and grisly as it is barmy, off-kilter and simply funny, it’s hard to look away. way more sex than expected. overall a great watch that oh so slightly overstays its welcome.
