  Apocalypse Now 1979

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 10 Oct 2024

  Seeing it in a cinema (even though it was the Final Cut and not my preferred Theatrical) has cemented it firmly into my top four. It's structurally incredible, portrays the dichotomy of awe and terror in a deliriously brilliant way and, above all, can be marvelled at in a 'I can't believe they made this' sort of way. It's a great movie that rewards multiple rewatches, has challenging characters and themes, and can simply be enjoyed as spectacle

  Black Bag 2025

  ★★★★ Watched 16 Mar 2025

  Another ripping yarn from Soderbergh. Surprisingly similar to Presence, but the spy element made for a film that tickled my brain a little more. Good one to see with a crowd

  Isle of Dogs 2018

  ★★★½ Watched 19 Feb 2025

  A little slight for a Wes Anderson picture, but it still has a lot of the trademarks that make his movies special. Very strange watching Bryan Cranston voice a dog while I'm just getting to the end of Breaking Bad. Was half expecting him to yell Jesse! at some point

  TINĀ 2024

  ★★★ Watched 08 Mar 2025

  Was more mixed on it than I expected. The kids are really good, in the singing sequences and in the couple of moments when they get to just horse around. Performances from the adults were a bit more lacking, with some characters acting downright cartoony. For everything that I struggled with from the script, there were still moments that really worked, and I'm always going to support a local production (even when it's obviously not, lol)
