  Arrival 2016

  ★★★★★ Added

  Upon logging my rewatch a few days ago, I realized that I'd never actually reviewed or logged my all time favourite film. So here goes.

  Arrival is perfect in every way. As far as movie scores go, I doubt if there will ever be a more personal 10/10.

  As I am writing this, I don't even know where to start. Arrival combines my love for filmmaking, linguistics, dialogue, and science fiction. One word that comes to mind to sum up…

  Hans Zimmer & Friends: Diamond in the Desert 2025

  ★★★★½ Watched 19 Mar 2025

  Breathtakingly awesome and boneshakingly grande. It oozes the same energy as if one were to go to a Hans Zimmer concert (trust me, I've been there. Twice). That said, the extra bits were interesting. I would have liked an additional separate hour of just Hans Zimmer talking to all these people because it feels a bit forced and rushed in this way, as if they had to squeeze a tightly cut piece of conversation in between all the concert bits.…

  Novocaine 2025

  ★★★★ Watched 16 Mar 2025

  They didn't play the Fall Out Boy song at the end. Boooooh.

  I had such a fun time with this one. Is it a bit of a generic one-trick pony that does not even touch the likes of Crank? Sure, if you're expectations are that high, then yeah. But it's just good fun. It's really straightforward and it uses what it's got, which is only a handful of actors and locations, to their fullest extent. Especially Jack Quaid. I am…

  Red Rocket 2021

  ★★★★½ Watched 29 Mar 2022

  Bye bye bikey.

  Oh my goodness, I loved this waaaay more than I thought I would.

  Simon Rex is such a charming moron, the production design and cinematography were so friendly and colourful, and the whole film is just so hilariously ridiculous and absurd. And the quick-witted editing, spitfire dialogue, and smooth, nonsensical plot is nothing but delightful. I went into this dumb-ass film completely blind and I loved every second of it.

  Anne+: The Film 2021

  ★★★★ Watched 28 Mar 2022

  Yes, I reaaally like this.

  Not only is this an expertly shot, produced, and cast Dutch film, it also resumes and concludes the narrative that the series started. The overall tone and spot-on dialogue is the same as it is in the series, which is amazing.

  But above all else, this is a fantastic character study. I have such a profound disability to understand people like Anne, but I do recognize Anne's character in daily life. The way she interacts…
