Megalopolis 2024
This came out right as a went on holiday for two weeks and it’s less than positive reaction from audiences and critics meant that it’s cinematic run was truncated, despite being a passion project by a beloved cinematic auteur. So to see it I had to hike for an hour through the Bristol harbour side to the last cinema’s last screening of this on a Thursday evening to catch this in the big screen. Because when will I next have…

Starship Troopers 1997
Now I want to play Warhammer 40,000 again.

The Electric State 2025
Okay, so I’m someone who avoids trailers and most marketing for upcoming movies due to the excessive spoilers most marketing has these days. I hadn’t even read Simon Stålenhag‘a original work till a few days ago. But when I did I was blown away by the art, the subtle world building and the craft being displayed here.
