  Becoming Led Zeppelin 2025

  ★★ Watched 08 Feb 2025

  Poorly edited and meandering as a doco. But fucking hell, Jimi Page was a handsome man.

  The Big Chill 1983

  ★★★ Watched 20 Jan 2025

  The earliest hang-out film I've seen. First time watching it today, and don't know what to make of it.

  "You can't always get what you want..." Mick Jagger.

  There are sections where Kasden digs into existentialism. What is happiness, and can it be achieved. Is happiness possible. At one point at character asks, "I haven't met many happy people in my life. How do they act?" Our dreams as teens can fizzle out and leave us questioning our purpose on…

  The Substance 2024

  ½ Watched 01 Oct 2024

  Fargeat beats her audience over the head with her banal observations on a youth obsessed society for the duration. I felt like poor Elizabeth at the hands of Sue.
  No subtlety, no irony, just an ugly nihilistic work.

  An American Masquerade 2024

  ★★★★★ Watched 10 Oct 2024

  Dude! So hard to rate indie films that don't have the budget or time the big boys do.
  This film is fugazi. This film is black flag. All passion. No money. This is what it is to be human. To give your guts to tell a story.
  I will be there every time for black forest films. Bless your heart. Bless your passion!
  Loved it team!
