  Good Bye, Lenin! 2003

  ★★★★ Watched 18 Mar 2025

  Beautiful social satire of familial love and moving on. It ties up really nicely, and although throughout it can seem a little silly, that’s the point. Has a lot of heart in its last 30 minutes as Alex comes to terms with his past and begins to work everything out.

  A simple concept that I found extremely informative, and I’ll always be grateful for this little lesson on German history. Even a flawed society can hold nostalgic memories, and as humans we simply love what we know and find familiar, despite the possibility of a better world.

  Iron Man 2008

  ★★★★ Watched 13 Mar 2025 2

  That’s right. After 17 years. Here I am. Starting the MCU. Maybe I’ll keep going. Maybe I won’t. Either way, banger. Yeah sure has some of the same cringy dialogue moments, but at least here they feel earned. I can get behind them. Yeah, a lot of fun.

  Longlegs 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 15 Jul 2024 2

  Okay so it’s sick yeah but it’s pretty simple in it’s storytelling and execution, nowhere near as scary as it was hyped to be and it shares much more with the thriller genre over horror. Would’ve benefitted from being shot on film too. Looks far too modern for when it’s set. Cage is so good though fr. In fact the acting overall was pretty stellar.

  We Live in Time 2024

  ★★★ Watched 13 Jan 2025 2

  Cute one. Emotionally draining Christ alive. Probably the most woof couple of all time. Had me barking at the screen, audience had to strap me down and gag my mouth.
