  Black Bag 2025

  ★★★½ Watched 20 Mar 2025

  very cool espionage film that manages to pack a complete and interesting arc into it's shorter runtime quite well. the main cast are mostly great and very entertaining to watch, although the characters themselves come across almost entirely as super type-A "movie characters" rather than realistic people. the plot was fun to watch unfold but the exposition dump at the end felt like it came out of nowhere and didn't feel rewarding at all. maybe with a longer runtime we could have had more clues along the way to make this feel more satisfying and clever.

  Companion 2025

  ★★★★½ Watched 12 Feb 2025

  brilliant.
  do yourself a favour and go into this film blind if it's not already too late. the concept is pretty straight forward and revealed in the first 20 mins or so and after that it just gets more and more intense and chaotic with some quite funny, ridiculous moments to break up the tension - if only for a second. essentially, expect a feature length black mirror episode with a great cast, a very digestible and fun concept and an entertaining and shocking series of events that play out.

  Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace 1999

  ★★★★ Rewatched 04 Feb 2025

  a joy to watch.
  a thrilling adventure that is by no means perfect but is such a fun ride. the more dramatic/serious scenes are right up there alongside the best of the original trilogy. anakin leaving his mother, qui gon's battles with the mysterious villain, obi wan's development and heartbreak during the final scenes, all great. jar jar binks is very annoying, there's no escaping that. there are some more light hearted scenes that are clearly aimed at the kids…
