  He-Man: the all-powerful charisma vacuum.

  Seriously, he makes Tom Paris look like Al Pacino in this.

  LOLA 2022

  ★½ Watched 19 Apr 2023

  Yes, because if one could see the future in 1940 the worst thing one could possibly see would be Nazi rallies outside Piccadilly Circus and a future without David Bowie - not the worst of the Holocaust.

  In all seriousness, this veers between charmingly amateurish and utter s**** - but sadly it's also convinced that it's much cleverer and more inventive than it is.

  And also, again, imagine making a movie about being able to see the future during the early years of WW2 and not referencing the Holocaust even once!

  The Substance 2024

  ★ Watched 01 Oct 2024

  Way too in love with itself, ironically. A criminally tedious film that treats its audience like complete idiots for the entire runtime, as if anyone could lose track of the film's insanely simplistic (and frequently rather stupid) plot. It then insists on battering said audience over the head with its unforgivably shallow message again and again for a whole 140 minutes. To make matters even worse, this nominally feminist film is ultimately so unimaginative that it cannot think of any…
