  Where the Wild Things Are 2009

  ★★★★½ Watched 12 Mar 2025

  Well, this film had no reason to do that to me. I’m inconsolable. It’s as if the song ‘Puff the magic dragon’ were a movie. Deserves way more credit. 
  It’s not for children, it’s about children.

  I can’t tell if I want to change Flynn Rider or fly kick him in the face. 
  Ps I would die for that horse.

  James Acaster: Hecklers Welcome 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 24 Nov 2024

  Once again, not doing what everyone else is doing. Also doing what every other male comic isn’t doing; going to therapy. You never know what to expect with his work, which is why I’m always in such awe.
  Did NOT expect to get a bit teary at the end.
  What’s so sick is that, well like all theatre, we only got to see THAT version. Not all the other cities with all the other hecklers, so my mind just continued to wonder about all the different performances of that show. 

  I don’t even have a witty trunkated sentence for this one. He’s just the best.

  Anora 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 26 Dec 2024

  Okay so I wasn’t expecting to care so much about this film, and her. But dear lord I do now.
  That goddam ending. Far out.
  Also, potentially, is this how we do a film with a male director but not completely the male gaze? Parts were and parts weren’t.

  If I was to describe the storyline to a friend it would sound like every 19-year-old-straight-boys-favourite-film for the past 20 years; but the cinematography flipped it. Big time.
