  Avatar: The Way of Water 2022

  ★★★★ Watched 06 Jan 2023

  James Cameron is a master at the two primary genres of cinema: sinking boat and aliens. This film is a brilliant combination of the two.

  (Watched this in good ol' 2D without any of that HFR stuff because I don't hate myself)

  Gotta love documentary/fiction hybrid films. A revolutionary work that is also centered around a fairly compelling romance. It definitely didn't land for me in quite the same way as some other Cuban films like Soy Cuba or The Last Supper, but it's still a pretty interesting portrait of the machismo culture that remained through the post-revolution period as Cuba engaged in its gradual societal transformation.

Mark Ruffalo is doing a…

  Crime Wave 1985

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 01 Jul 2024

  Spent this Canada Day rewatching the greatest Canadian film of all time (and one of my favourite films in general). I'm so glad I randomly stumbled on this movie like a decade ago while watching a free trial of a Canadian movie channel back when Satellite TV was still a thing people had.

  There's no movie even remotely similiar to this, neither from Paizs's peers in the Winnipeg Film Group nor elsewhere. It's a film that essentially created an entirely…

  Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 24 May 2024

  For nearly a decade now, Fury Road was the only Mad Max film I had seen. I finally worked my way through the other 3 films just in time for Furiosa, and in a world where every film series has turned into an expansive cinematic universe with every interesting element milked to death, it was so refreshing to watch a series so disinterested in continuity. Each film is simply a tale about some guy named Max (who may not even…
