    Romeo + Juliet

    ★★★★

    Grotesque, gaudy, loud, bright, brilliant. Just love the world Luhrmann builds using only colour and set and Shakespeare's words.

    Leo isn't all that great but the supporting cast are absolutely brilliant.

  • The End

    The End

    ★★★½

    Completely weird from top to bottom (compliment). Everything it contained was slightly off kilter in some way or another. It's a characature story about how we come to terms with our own delusions to help us sleep at night, and how it consumes us to the point where we lose track of reality. It's a story about how the worlds we choose to inhabit is something we choose to build.

    Tilda Swinton brings her usual weird energy but dialled it…

    ★★

    It's incredible that a person could sit down with this premise and churn out 90 mins of dull walking montages and typically bad sci-fi gadget for everything (T-Rex Machina). Adam Driver's own life is more interesting than this film, and he's never once interacted with a dinosaur.

    What happened to the rest of this film? Did they cut out all of the bits that would have mad it good? Why does the crash happen so quickly that we done yet…
