  Adolescence 2025

  Watched 20 Mar 2025

  An utterly outstanding miniseries.

  Knife crime is the central plot point, but it is not the central theme.

  Owen Cooper is a star in the making.

  Stephen Graham has again proven himself as one of the best actors working today.

  Absolutely FANTASTIC!

  Heart Eyes 2025

  Watched 16 Mar 2025

  Right, ok, everyone shut up for a second…

  This is BRILLIANT!

  Slick, funny, entertaining, and sardonically coincides with the cliches of rom-coms and slashers in a brilliant way.

  Hugely recommended.

  Akira 1988

  Rewatched 12 Mar 2025 2

  Pretty much tied for my best animated film of all time with My Neighbour Totoro, and the last time I saw this was at least a decade ago.

  The bike slide still gave me goosebumps.

  Got to be the best jacket ever seen in fiction.

  EXTRAORDINARY!

  Lady Bird 2017

  Watched 11 Mar 2025

  I had a feeling I was going to like this.

  A lovely film about lovely things.

  Saoirse Ronan and Laurie Metcalf are utterly superb.
