  The Brutalist 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 24 Jan 2025

  Drove 100 miles to see this in 70mm. Second half not quite as strong as the first but still an extraordinary achievement.

  Phase IV 1974

  ★★½ Watched 05 Jan 2025

  If only the film was as good as the poster. Would've gained an extra half-star if the version I saw had Saul Bass' original ending.

  The Devil at Your Heels 1981

  ★★★★ Watched 10 Jul 2024

  I'd never heard of Ken Carter and I found this film completely enthralling. The cast of characters and the twists and turns made it play like a drama rather than a documentary.

  Dune: Part Two 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 25 Mar 2024

  Loved the film. Would've get a 5th star if Rebecca Ferguson had got up at one point and said "He's not the Messiah. He's a very naughty boy!"
