  Challengers 2024

  ★★★★½ Rewatched 06 Jan 2025

  A very compelling character study between three manipulative multidimensional characters set against the backdrop of a high stakes tennis match between two former best friends. The character work is so rich and the writing is incredibly multilayered. This is truly a film that gets better on every subsequent viewing. So many tiny details and lines of dialogue that are easy to miss but change your understanding of these characters once you catch them.

  Civil War 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 12 Apr 2024

  Incredible sound design and cinematography. Cautionary tale about the costs of war seen through the eyes of journalists. Hood performances all around and some tense scenes for good measure.
