  The Harder They Fall 2021

  ★★★½ Watched 15 Mar 2025

  Very cool, even if it's trying very hard to be, with an aesthetic that's crafted around the soundtrack. A blast.

  Bong at his goofiest. The film is less focused than his others as it attempts to tackle several issues. His satire is definitely more effective when he zeroes in on a particular issue. But it's still a lot of fun.

  Every time someone said "creeper" I went "aw man". The guy next to me got very annoyed.

  Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget 2023

  ★★★★ Watched 14 Oct 2023

  The anti-chicken (as food) message was ineffective as the film made me crave chicken nuggets.

  Thankfully, it captures the spirit of the original, even though it seems unlikely it will live up to the iconic status of that film. The aesthetic is more colourful, which cheapens it with the feel of a kids film, and it suffers from some unfortunate casting changes. It's still a whole lot of fun with some excellent gags.
