  I've never seen anything like it. Truly affecting to feel like you're witnessing a new way of seeing.

  Bird 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 15 Jan 2025

  Pretty good but I found it a little claustrophobic. I think it would have benefited from the theme of birds being reflected in the filmmaking a bit more and not just in Franz's wonderful performance.
  Great performance from Nykala Adams too!

  Blitz 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 09 Oct 2024

  This reminded me so much of the paddington films and I dunno if that's good or bad.

  Great Blitz scenes.

  A bit heavy on the cockney British twee for me. Mixed bag!

  Challengers 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 01 May 2024 2

  This film just isn't sexy enough. Just a couple of dweebs going after Zendaya, despite the real sexual chemistry being between them which we only get in snippets in a steamy sauna. Zendaya convinces as a teenage tennis prodigy but doesn't much as a woman in her 30s carving out Mike Faists career, where she frequently lacks the gravitas to stick some important line landings. I wanted more sex and I don't think you can hide behind the fantastic score to add pace and tension to the tennis scenes which are mostly just legs????? Sounds like I hated it actually 🥴
