  Magazine Dreams 2023

  ★★★½ Watched 20 Mar 2025

  What a ride, this kind of blew me away. Most of that coming from the disturbingly brilliant Jonathan Majors performance.
  It’s always interesting when a film tests its audience and allows sympathy for a character that is so un-human like.
  Beautiful at times, heart wrenching at others. A film in which has beats of ‘Nightcrawler’, ‘Taxi Driver’, and ‘Whiplash’ still succeeds in breathing life into a brilliant new character and story.

  Megalopolis 2024

  ★★ Watched 28 Sep 2024 1

  Complete and utter mess.
  Positives I can grab, Aubrey Plaza and Shia LaBeouf were ok and the set pieces were unique and ambitious.
  An hour into this I thought it may be over but no, another hour and a half (that felt like 3 hours) to go.
  Obvious Coppola cares about this work and I can respect that, but this was a boring, narrative-less, boomer ass fuckin mess.

  2001: A Space Odyssey 1968

  ★★★★★ Watched 29 Aug 2024 1

  Never have I ever felt the emotion I was going through during this film.
  I simultaneously felt in awe (of the absolute master filmmaking), frightened, and violently high.
  I experienced this in a theatre where those around me had context of the film, therefore were laughing at early comments HAL made. But, it didn’t take away from the deep fear I felt as soon as actions ensue and HAL’s bleak tone takes us through.
  There are countless pieces of sci-fi…
