  You'll Never Find Me 2023

  ★★★★ Watched 24 Mar 2024

  Predicable but fun slow burn thriller. The atmosphere steals the show on this one, the sound design and one location makes it feel so claustrophobic.

  The Taking of Pelham One Two Three 1974

  ★★★★★ Watched 12 Oct 2022

  In the last 20 minutes or so of this near perfect movie you can guess what the penultimate moment will be, but you can’t prepare for how wonderfully delightful the final frame of the movie is.

  Mad God 2021

  ★★ Watched 18 Jun 2022

  Very very pretty but without an ounce of plot to follow unfortunately very shallow and hollow. 

  A far too long music video with no band

  This is the exact kind of movie stoners will try to sync a Pink Floyd album to, under the nebulous haze of a black light and some nag champa

  Returns diminish at a rate in which you give a fuck about any of the above.

  Crimes of the Future 2022

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 17 Jul 2022

  Fuck me for doubting Cronenberg had anything left to say. 

  This flick has his most coherent and clear expressions of body dysmorphia seen since his prior stuff like Videodrome and eXistenZ. 

  Everything in the world is synthesized so organically. From the bone teeth wiggle chair to the surgery pod, the future presented here is beyond believable, and also pretty hot.

  Can we just have an extended cut with a bit more of Kristen Stewart’s character Timlin please?

  Long live the new flesh

  Surgery is the new sex
