Mickey 17 2025
Mark Ruffalo Trump: We have been infested with the woke multiple virus!
Has a pacing rhythm that takes time to get on board with and not much refinement of ideas but you have Robert Pattinson in mega gonzo mode—this is a marvellous thing. Was expecting this to be more of a classic sci-fi joint or a comedy that echoes the book, but it’s certainly a Bong Joon ho movie for better and occasionally for worse (his English work has the…

Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy 2025
Renee may have undeservedly won an Oscar for Judy but she’ll always make up for that with fun and sincere Bridget’ing! This has actual dramatic heft and loses more of the goofy sitcom plotting of the last two—you can tell a decent director actually came on board to make this. It’s a bit rushed in the second half with Chiwetel’s arc but hey, it’s very sweet and I cried! Thank you to Hugh Grant who absolutely killed it in his three scenes—his services to the motion picture arts are greatly appreciated by me personally.

Nickel Boys 2024
A miracle of a movie—one of the greatest adaptations of a (spectacular) novel ever. Captures Whitehead’s imagery and characters so well and RaMell creates a whole immersive visual language for this that perfectly compliments the source text. That visual conceit is perfect and not distracting in the slightest. A beautifully human film; a new American classic that should be the year’s Best Picture winner by a cakewalk. As an Australian, I’m sad we were robbed of seeing this in cinemas.

In the Lost Lands 2025
One of the dorkiest pieces of schlock I’ve seen in eons—I had a rip-roaring time. PWSA’s best movie since the epic Retribution. With the exit of editor Doobie White, gone is the hyperactive, overly-edited shot structure of The Final Chapter and Monster Hunter. Instead, an array of gorgeously colourful establishing shots linger and there’s just less of a frantic quality for most of it even if the action still rips. Overall this really is a hangout western fantasy hodgepodge where…

Deadpool & Wolverine 2024
Uber-millennial, irony-poisoned nothingness. I don’t even have a problem with the cameo overloading—in fact, I would’ve preferred to be watching two of the extended cameos’ standalone movies*—it’s more that I still just can’t get into a lot of this snarky schtick as a mature, employed adult. Saying that, I do feel for the poor former main cast (aside from my boy Delaney) who get entirely sidelined so [multiple redacted names] can show up. There isn’t really any form of coherent…

Spider-Man: No Way Home 2021
Just over the moon… that we got a hint of that sweet Electro theme!
Contains some legitimately great Spider-Man moments in a film that feels like it’s built around scene and character-based concepts rather than being a tightly coalesced whole. Thankfully the annoying Disney Channel tone of Far from Home is mostly gone and Holland can give a performance that actually has a bit of weight at points. Still, this feels like fanfic where some of the fanfic is fun,…
