I love classic sci-fi, unique horrors, retro visuals, neo-noir, psychological thrillers, apt soundtracks and Scarlett Johansson's voice.

    Transformers One

    ★★★★

    I am anything but a Transformers fan but had heard this was a great movie all round and it did not disappoint.

Midsommar has some of the best modern practical effects I've seen, clever and dynamic cinematography and a constant, overbearing dread cut with nervous laughs, which are never out of place. Everything builds at such a deliberate, steady pace, keeping the weirdness and shock factor at the forefront sporadically as if to pull you back from the daydream/nightmare and remind…
