  Magazine Dreams 2023

  ★★★★ Watched 11 Mar 2025

  He’s a really good actor😔

  I hadn’t seen too much promotional material for this so I wasn’t expecting the sort of movie we got, but it was very well made.

  Cinematography was nice and I really liked the score. It was a little uncomfortable how real some of the unfortunate character traits of the protagonist were. The supporting cast was all great but this really was mostly a one man show. Solid performance but could very understandably be a hard watch for people, even without the behind the scenes controversy.

  Amazing from Robert Pattinson! He’s becoming one of my favourite actors lately. This movie was awesome and he’s a big part of that.

  This has a lot of the themes that you’d expect from a Bong Joon-ho movie, but this feels a lot larger than most of his other movies I’ve seen. He handles it really well. CG was used for a lot of the film (mostly by DNEG and Framestore I think), and it looked really good in the…

  Novocaine 2025

  ★★★½ Watched 03 Mar 2025

  It's a pretty simple movie, but really well done!

  Civil War 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 11 Apr 2024

  Strong from Garland! The first non sci-fi thing I’ve seen from him and it’s really intense. It’s written sort of like a book if that makes sense- the dialogue I mean. The performances were all excellent (I can imagine at least one best actress nomination next year)

  I like that the film is about journalists and war. It isn’t really a political film, although it does have a few comments on politics in general. It uses a familiar US setting…
