  • It's a Wonderful Life

    It's a Wonderful Life

    ★★★★★

    No man is a failure who has friends.

    Films are subjective, except for this, this is pretty perfect.

  • Beetlejuice

    Beetlejuice

    ★★★★

    Fuckin weird but also a bit of fun, the dinner scene, epic. Charming cast, Winona rider is great and holds to odd assortment of characters and story together. Scissorhands next for the Burton 80s watchathon.

    Finding Michael

    Two positives were Nepal being beautifully shot and I also have so much respect for Micheal summiting at 22, it would have been fascinating to get a better understanding of Spencer’s brother. Why he did it, how he got into mountaineering, after all who was the hero of the story… the youngest Brit to summit Everest, or the heavily fake tanned reality TV star brother?

    Spencer spends most of the film chilling in base camp wearing a new Northface jacket…

  • Triangle of Sadness

    Triangle of Sadness

    ★★★★

    Some of the hardest laughs I’ve gotten from a film in a while. First two sides of the triangle were bang on 5 stars, witty comedy with an underlying social and class commentary.

    The third side of the triangle lacked a little, but still spurted out a couple of nuggets of gold including our Russian capitalist taking jewellery off his dead wife. Chivalry isn’t dead, even if she was.
