  Okay I tried. This movie is just unbelievably gorgeous in pretty much every aspect. I wasn’t necessarily blown away by it but I’d be hard pressed to find something I would change or do different. Time to go on an Alain Delon deep dive.

  Black Bag 2025

  ★★★ Watched 22 Mar 2025

  My favorite part was them all competing for who has the most sultry, British spy voice.

  ★★★★½ Watched 01 Jun 2024

  I don't care how much this movie makes at the box office, give George Miller a blank check to make as many movies set in this universe as he wants to. Yes it doesn't quite reach the heights of Fury Road but it is a worth successor (and predecessor) that may feel a little bloated but its for the purpose of building out the wasteland. Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth are both great and seeing it in XD made all the engine and explosion noise that much more visceral.
