    Ravenous

    ★★★★

    When I think of Guy Pearce, I always come back to Ravenous and how this off the wall, bonkers, gory, wacky film was way ahead of it’s time.

    To me, this is one of those mesmerizing and memorable films which never got the shine that it deserved, and really was a fun watch.

  • Conclave

    Conclave

    ★★★★

    A film which was moving along nicely until completely crashing and burning with an anti-climactic conclusion that was created purely for shock value and cultural relevance in todays climate of division and strong personal opinion over gender and ethnicity.

    Great acting work leading up to the end, plot moved along slowly, but other than the ending, a decent film.

    Oldboy

    ★★★★★

    Heralding one of the greatest action sequences in film, this rendition of Oldboy is an addicting story of vengeance that is always worth a rewatch.
