    The Electric State

    ★½

    The Electric State boasts a stellar cast, both on-screen and in the voice roles—though not everyone delivers their best work. Chris Pratt, while likable, feels stuck in familiar territory, playing a character that doesn’t stretch his range beyond what we’ve seen in previous films.

    Visually, the film is impressive. The CGI is consistently strong, as expected from a production of this scale, and the quirky robot designs add a nice touch, each with its own unique personality. There is also…

  • Love Hurts

    Love Hurts

    ½

    Where to start with this? Well, for one—it’s bad. Love Hurts is yet another poorly scripted action flick that lazily borrows from countless other films about a former assassin, marine, or killer being forced back into their old life. The difference? This one attempts to inject comedy into the mix. The problem? There’s nothing remotely funny about it.

    The cast does an okay job overall, but Ariana DeBose—an Academy Award winner, no less—is shockingly bad. She likely has the most…

    Mickey 17

    ★★★½

    Bong Joon Ho is one of my favorite directors, and Snowpiercer is in my top four films of all time. I also adored Memories of Murder, so I went into Mickey 17 with high expectations. While it doesn’t quite top those films, it’s still a highly enjoyable and visually stunning experience.

    The film looks incredible—the interior of the ship and its aesthetic make space travel feel as real as it possibly could. The production design is immersive, creating a world…

    Captain America: Brave New World

    ★★

    The latest entry in the MCU picks up after The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, following Sam Wilson as he continues to grapple with the weight of taking up Steve Rogers’ mantle. The film leans into the political themes of its predecessors but struggles to capture the sharpness and intrigue of Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

    Anthony Mackie proves to be a solid leading man, delivering a decent performance as the new Cap. Harrison Ford steps in as the newly…

  • Nosferatu

    Nosferatu

    ★★★

    Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu is an eerie, atmospheric reimagining of the 1922 silent horror classic, and as you’d expect with a cast this strong, the performances are nothing short of excellent. Bill Skarsgård’s portrayal of Count Orlok exudes a chilling presence, while Nicholas Hoult and Lily-Rose Depp bring depth and nuance to their roles, grounding the film’s gothic tone with emotional weight.

    Eggers once again proves his mastery in crafting intense, immersive worlds. The atmosphere is dark and brooding, wrapping the…

    God this was bad. It’s like Rob Zombie only wanted to do the one film so when he had to come back he made sure this one was pure shite so he defo didn’t have to make a 3rd…. 🤦‍♂️
