  Blade of the Immortal 2017

  ★★★★ Watched 08 Mar 2025

  I knew when one of the bad guys exclaimed “b-b-bakemono ga!” that I was in for one of the most anime non-anime films I’d see this year. An absolute thrill from start to end.

  An Ideal Husband 1999

  ★★★½ Watched 02 Mar 2025

  This adaption of Oscar Wilde’s writing perfectly brings to life the scandal and pseudo intellectualism of the Victorian upper class, and paints it with all the colour and wit that makes Wilde’s writing timeless. The production team did an incredible job. 

  Rupert Everett mogging the camera in every frame he’s in is worth the watch alone.

  Chef 2014

  ★★ Rewatched 09 Feb 2025

  In a film directed, produced, written, and starring Jon Favreau in which we’re supposed to believe Sofía Vergara and Scarlett Johansson would willing have sex with him, he still manages to get cucked by Robert Downey Junior.

  Bravo.
