  The Wind That Shakes the Barley 2006

  ★★★★ Watched 17 Mar 2025

  There are many reasons to be proud of an Irish heritage, but if I'm being honest, the biggest one for me is the possibility that I might be distantly related to Cillian Murphy.

  Christmas Eve in Miller’s Point 2024

  Watched 13 Nov 2024

  Obviously the best thing about this movie is my cousin Matilda and the wonderful, awkward, adorable sincerity that is sure to catapult her to stardom.
  Second best thing is the gay cops.

  The Elephant Man 1980

  ★★★★★ Watched 05 Oct 2024
