    We here to become human again, to put on nice clothes and dance around and enjoy the things that is not in our reality.

    Triumphant, uplifting and heartbreaking, Sing Sing is an absolute joy from start to finish, full of so much love and spirit. It conjured a feeling inside me that I can only compare to lying safely on top of a sun-drenched bed.

    The entire cast is electric. Such an endearing group of characters.

    Paul Raci is up there with Harry Dean Stanton for me when it comes to weather faced legends making me cry with just a facial expression.

    Yeah, I, uh, I had to dismember that guy with a trowel. What have you been up to?

    Always a fun rewatch!

    Clever trope-inverting script and plenty of cool horror meta-layers.

    Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga

    ★★

    Oh my god, what a disappointment.
    I would've put money on me liking this beforehand.

    Unworthy of being mentioned alongside Fury Road. Pretty much inferior across all categories by some distance.

    The whole movie just looks wrong, with its noticeably rough CGI and weird glossy visuals.
    Everyone just looks like they're on a green screen.

    Chris Hemsworth and his weird-ass prosthetic nose just do not belong in this film. I initially hated his character but eventually me laughing at him was a happy refuge from the rest of the film.

    Baffled by all the 4/5 star reviews.

    (Not a movie, I know!)

    I casually dipped in and out of this while my partner watched.

    Really well made show and excellent performances.

    I have genuinely never been so angry watching a show.

    All these morally corrupt scumbags selling their bullshit snake oil to vulnerable people can fuck off in great physical pain for all eternity.
