  Adolescence 2025

  ★★★★★ Watched 20 Mar 2025

  Stupendous. Newcomer Owen Cooper is a fireball actor to watch out for. Particularly in episode 3. Owen’s ability to command the screen is almost unheard of for his age. Also, man I love Stephen Graham. His ability to write and perform in this is otherworldly. Don’t get me started on the mind blowing production here… each episode is shot in one complete take, jaw dropping stuff! 
  
  Adolescence is a wake up call to the dangers of social media, how young men view women, and the consequences of real life actions. The best thing to grace any screen in 2025 so far.

  Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith 2005

  ★★★★ Watched 19 Mar 2025

  I saw this in Las Vegas in 2005 on opening night, after a week of partying with my friends. It was our last day, the perfect remedy for a hangover. True story. It was mind blowing at the time, turns out it’s still pretty badass. My favorite of the prequels.

  Good Time 2017

  ★★★★½ Watched 06 Feb 2025

  As of now, my favorite first time watch of 2025. Doesn’t quite hit the highs of Uncut Gems, but it’s damn close.

  Anora 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 26 Jan 2025

  45 minutes into Anora, I was concerned that director Sean Baker was just here to shoot a party movie. Boy was I wrong. Once this thing takes off, it shoots into the air like the 4th of July fireworks, a cinematic fireball. One of the best movies of 2024. It’s hilarious and unexpected, tragic and hypnotic. Mikey Madison is off the charts great as Anora. The same goes for Yura Borisov as Igor.

  Both actors were nominated for Academy Awards…
