  Away 2019

  ★★★½ Watched 19 Mar 2025

  Yer man just casually came up with the best postrock album in years as the soundtrack to his film he made entirely himself with no one else. Blimey.

  Grand Theft Hamlet 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 08 Mar 2025

  As someone who also spent the Covid lockdown hanging out with my friends in a videogame (Minecraft) doing something cultural (building a cathedral), I had many emotions. We all need a friend like ParTeb.

  All Cheerleaders Die 2013

  ★★½ Watched 02 Oct 2024

  Bound 1996

  ★★★★½ Rewatched 13 Jul 2021

  I can only talk about Bound in one of two ways:

  Very briefly: it's a modern twist on film noir where all the beats are perfectly hit, but each point has been subverted, from the central couple being queer women to the fist-pump of an ending.

  At extreme length: I could talk about this film for hours and hours, picking apart the precision of the script, the commitment of the performances, the inventive shots... honestly, hours.

  Film noir heist flick where Jennifer Tilly, Gina Gershon and Joe Pantoliano all give their best ever performances, and all the lesbians loves it for a reason.
