  Get Carter 1971

  ★★★½ Watched 26 Aug 2023

  Slightly seedy Michael Caine is a seasoned killer + loves boobs; classic that hasn’t aged so well

  Serpico 1973

  ★★★½ Watched 25 Aug 2023

  Al Pacino putting in a great shift, classic film for a reason - marked down 1.5 stars on account of his incredibly silly hats

  Phenomenal mini-series; brilliant cast, well-paced and genuinely gripping. Does a great job of tackling such a massive catastrophe on a human scale

  Oppenheimer 2023

  ★★★★½ Watched 28 Jul 2023

  A brilliant film, one of Nolan’s best. Really recommend watching the accompanying Sky documentary about the history of the Manhattan project before seeing the film itself; lent an excellent historical backdrop, and has commentary points from Nolan as well. My only criticisms comes from its length - this is a seriously fucking long film. Honestly, I feel condensing it by about 40 minutes would’ve had minimal affect on the overall impact and storytelling, whilst making it slightly more digestible.
