  Presence 2024

  This film really worked for me on a lot of levels.

Comes alive in the second half once the themes of the movie and all of the information starts to fall into place. There were aspects of the character dynamics I wasn't always completely sold by but overall, this is a great film that certainly deserves the hype.

  Flow 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 29 Jan 2025 1

  Beautiful and very moving film. I feel like for me this hits a lot of sweet spots in terms of making it impact me as much as it did. Not 100% sure if I think this one is quite a masterpiece since it is a little simplistic, but it does what it does so well that it is hard to find any faults with it. Might be one that moves up to a 5 for me in the future on either rewatch or just if it sticks with me.

  Also the Capybara is my dude, the GOAT for sure.

  Heretic 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 11 Nov 2024

  man, this guy really just be doing anything to win an argument

  in all seriousness, cool premise that, while occasionally having moments that feel a little cliche, creates enough intrigue to be consistently engaging, while mostly subverting expectations in fun ways

  hugh grant do be kinda carrying tho, like I think this movie could have hit a lot less if not with his performance
