  Django Unchained 2012

  ★★★★½ Watched 17 Mar 2025

  Excellent. Dissatisfying and extremely satisfying in equal measure. 

  Usually get restless beyond 2 hours but this flew.

  Slowly getting through Tarantino’s work now & honestly, this man really likes the N word. Red card. (Arley)

  A Different Man 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 23 Feb 2025

  Full Dennis Reynolds. Full frontal nudity. Extremely good lookbook. I mean, some of the menswear. Exceptional. Even in his “less desirable” state the casual - geography teacher plays Tony Hawks in his spare time - put together is immaculate. 

  This was just a couple of punches short of excellence. Shame. Interesting. Solid tho. Had some laughs with Haz along the way and that’s what it’s about. (Arley)

  Dead Man's Shoes 2004

  ★★★½ Watched 04 Jun 2024 1

  Bleak. 00s Britain in the Northern sticks. Uncomfortable. The hat, coat & trim of *checks notes* Stuart Wolfenden is exactly the kind of 2004/5 trash aesthetic I like to see. 

  In the most complimentary way possible, this has an exceptionally talented A Level Media/Film studies student project feel to it. Raw. Sombre. Absolutely worth my time this evening. (Arley, solo flick)

  Hard Boiled 1992

  ★★★★½ Watched 28 Oct 2024

  Total, pure, bullet spraying, blow the fckin lot up action that is completely & unquestionably necessary. Stuntmen COMMITTED. My ears are ringing with the sound of gunshots.

  Delivered the exact thing I signed up for today when picking a movie on an impromptu annual leave day. Have not yet seen a single miss from East Asian cinema. 

  Whole thing is badass. Watched completely free on YouTube ad free so thanks to the legend that uploaded it. 💥💥💥 (Arley)
