  Do the Right Thing 1989

  ★★★★½ Watched 17 Mar 2025

  8.5/10

  A superb and powerful look into conflicts between ethnic communities and racial justice, built through ongoing tensions on a scorching day. A film with intentionally conflicting but excellently developed characters that leaves you watching neutrally as you discover the racial prejudice that secretly fuels them. 

  However, as expressed by the conflicted statements from Martin Luther King and Malcolm X at the end. The ‘right thing’ is truly ambiguous. Such as the correct action of delivering racial justice, violence or…

  Dear White People 2014

  ★★ Watched 10 Mar 2025

  4/10

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 12 May 2024

  Alien: Romulus 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 26 Aug 2024

  7/10

  This film was great until I heard one of the worst fan-catering, nostalgia baiting lines I have ever heard in a sequel. Come on, there was no need. But other than that, I really enjoyed this, returning to the slow burn routes of the original 2 whilst incorporating the horror elements of the first, even if it’s a little too familiar. Cailee Spaeny is a star in the making, and the visceral atmosphere and sound production are quite effective. Also very brutal and mostly practical, which is always a plus. 

  A nice filler in between alien and aliens.
