Pan's Labyrinth 2006
nightmare alice in wonderland.
guillermo del toro creates some of the most imaginative looking characters you’ll ever see in a film. the pale man leaves a lasting impression on you, despite his limited screen time.
pans labyrinth has an interesting dichotomy in its narrative. on one hand you have a political drama about spanish dictatorship, on the other is a fantasy quest for a girl to find her lost father. the film chops back and forth between the two seperate…

The Hunt 2012
Damn this is the epitome of a gut wrenching film.
mads mikkelsen’s entire filmography is banger after banger. his performance is heartbreaking.
this is a grounded and believable plot - i believe it was based loosely on true events. you really feel for lucas, such a well mapped out character. at the start you see a pretty well rounded man, by the final act you see a man who’s had his life ripped apart.
you also relate to all the…

Killing Them Softly 2012
VERY underrated film.
Anything with ben mendelsohn is automatically a +1 star (he’s also fantastic in this).
All-star casting - ray liotta & james gandolfini, couldn’t ask for better mobsters. pitt’s character is something crossed between chopper read, anton chigur (from no country), and aldo raine (from inglorious bastards) - and pitt pulls it together wonderfully.
Directed by andrew dominik, who also directed chopper (2000) & the assassination of jesse james (2007), this very much carries over the vibe of those films.
a greasy, suspenseful, crime film you will enjoy.

Memories of Murder 2003
“what did he look like?”
“well kind of…plain”
“in what way?”
“just… ordinary.”
this really is one of those films that when the credits roll, you’re just sat there like… “fuck”.
incredible, 100/10, will rewatch this on a stormy night for the rest of my life.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness 2022
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Utterly utterly ridiculous.
What even was this film? a horror? a comedy?
Who ever was driving the wheel behind this one at Disney needs to lose their job.
Special effects were tacky and not even as good as the original Doctor Strange. There were maybe two scenes that looked at all up to standard with the quality of CGI in the more recent Marvel films, the rest looks unpolished and comical.
Storyline was worse than Captain Marvel which is saying…

Challengers 2024
yeah look its good but not great.
some tense moments but the story just came to nothing.
tennis bits are cool.
jumps back and forth in time were a bit forced, a lot of it i felt was done just to keep the story from getting stale.. some of it was impactful but a lot of it was just to reconfirm that yes, they’re both still into zendaya, which was established in the first 5 minutes of the film.
first and final ten minutes were funny but the middle lacked real substance.
