  La Chimera 2023

  ★★★★★ Watched 01 Feb 2025

  Orpheus would’ve had a more enjoyable time in the underworld had he excavated it himself. 

  Filthy linen suit, lots of clay, enough to ruin a petulant grown man’s day. 

  It’s a soundsystem classic. Viva Italia.

  The Holdovers 2023

  ★★★★★ Watched 07 Dec 2024

  A timeless MVP Christmas film. My emotional rubicon was well and truly crossed. Labi siffre, good choice.

  Still Crazy 1998

  ★★★★ Watched 29 Aug 2024

  Cultured, refined and sexually finite. 

  Bill Nighy as a timidly arrogant Danjuro is enough to engage anyone. Why is the keyboardist such an irritating cuck? Why is this Bill Connelly’s seminal performance? Why does Tim spall seem to be bill bailey’s aromatically challenged twin? Some questions we cannot answer. 

  Bruce Robinson fits the bill, wonderful use of an hour.
