A swing.. and a six. Or a home-run for you Americans. Fucking brilliant. I love when that happens. Took my mum and stepdad to see this one. Village Gold Class, because they refuse to go to a normal theatre of course. With my troubles and problems, I probably could’ve picked a better movie for them to watch with me instead of getting nonstop looks from her that screamed “he acts like you on a Friday night” but what are you…

The Apprentice 2024
Didn’t watch a single trailer and absolutely ran though 'Confidence Man' by Maggie Haberman and 'Too Much and Never Enough' by Mary L. Trump PhD again in preparation for this. Very glad I did. They absolutely nailed this movie. Wow. Everything is here. Thrown at your face, mentioned in one line of dialog or in an Easter Egg like the Citizen Kane (1941) poster in his room. I can see why Trump and his campaign wanted this killed. I’m very impressed. This rocked.

Carlito's Way 1993
“You do what you gotta do to survive, somehow, you know, you just end up where you are.”
Carlito just wanted his $75,000 to dream, man. Boy did Gail know how that dream was gonna end. You can’t trust nobody. That and listen to your girl.
What a soundtrack in this. De Palma is not so subtly becoming one of my favourite directors ever. Maybe my favourite? He’s like Babe Ruth, but he doesn’t miss two-thirds of the time. It’s…

Gangster Squad 2013
“You’re dead! You’re all dead!”
“Yeah, we get that a lot.”The ‘La La Land’ duo in Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling are in this one. I’ve now seen all three films they’ve been in. The other being ‘Crazy, Stupid, Love’ (2011.)
I don’t have much to say about it. It was more violent than I expected but after that opening not what I wanted from it, that really left me wanting more. Regardless of that, a really great cast.

The Brutalist 2024
“It’s not the journey, it’s the destination.”
A closing line that can definitely be interpreted in many ways with this film. In one sense, it could be about how Israel came to be, which is the angle I’m going with, but it could also reflect László’s work, how, through hardship and traumatic times, it’s the art and final product that lasts so other’s can understand. This really was just a phenomenal film. I can completely see why Adrien Brody won…

Deadpool & Wolverine 2024
As I sat down popcorn-less with my oversized Pepsi (I wasn’t giving this movie any more unnecessary money. Everyone else was buying the $30 popcorn holders lol) I simply said to myself “I just want to laugh” before it began. Cameos, nonstop swearing, A Mad Max joke which people loved but just made me wish I gave Furiosa my money when it was out instead of this. It’s fun, I did laugh and it’s probably gonna make a billion. Seeing Jackman wear the Wolverine mask was heaven. The soundtrack slaps just like every other Deadpool film. It’s exactly what you’d expect.
