  Mulan 2020

  ★★★★ Watched 10 Sep 2020

  Four stars for Yoson. Awesome seeing a young kiwi on the Disney big screen and I thought he killed it. He could have come off as cheesy with that script but he pulled it all off and looked at home with the star studded cast. Can’t wait to see more of him.

  Extraction 2020

  ★★★ Watched 25 Apr 2020

  The Three star PG13 version of "The Raid" for people with a White Saviour complex. Car chase scene makes it all worthwhile.

  Gran Torino 2008

  ★★★★★ Watched 28 Nov 2011 4

  Sometimes I wonder whether Eastwood is such an awesome actor because he gets to play himself in the movies. Here he plays a grouchy badass with a soft spot for being awesome.

  I adored this movie; the breakout supporting actors are phenomenal and the pacing is perfect. It feels real despite the heroism. I also laughed. Win.

  Midnight in Paris 2011

  ★★★★ Watched 20 Oct 2011 3

  I’m moving to France next year with my partner, so though I don’t typically make space for Romantic Comedy’s in my cinema schedule, I thought I’d make an exception for a typical “foreign couple goes and discovers Paris.

  Definitely got more than I bargained for. Because guess what:

  It’s about Fu#king time Travel

  That’s right, not only do I get points for taking the girlfriend to a movie about Paris. I get to see some time travel.
