  Mare of Easttown 2021

  ★★★★ Watched 23 Mar 2025

  Solid murder mystery, elevated by a strong cast with well-written, rounded characters and a drama/dark comedy tone. 
  Jean Smart steals the whole miniseries.

  War for the Planet of the Apes 2017

  ★★★½ Watched 17 Mar 2025

  Has probably two or three too many Bad Ape “haha’s”, but otherwise a satisfying, slower ending to the first trilogy.

  Adolescence 2025

  ★★★★ Watched 16 Mar 2025

  As with the best of British dramas, they’re more concerned with keeping everything effectively grounded in reality rather than flashy twists and turns. 
  Stephen Graham as always proves he’s one of the greatest actors working today, but here everyone shines.

  Rebel Ridge 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 07 Sep 2024

  Super fun, tense, slow burn action thriller. 
  Subverted expectations in certain ways films like this don’t do, which helps it stand on its own. 
  Glad John Boyega had a hissy fit and left production. Aaron Pierre chews the fuck out this role, all for him and AnnaSophia Robb getting more film presence. 
  Huge improvement over Jeremy Saulnier’s last film.
