  Brad Pitt looks like he's having so much fun and I love it.

  The Descent 2005

  ★★★ Watched 27 Oct 2024

  Swore a tonne. Quite low-budget, the blue colour grading got a bit intense, but they definitely made the most of what they had. Genuinely extremely scary, both psychologically and in a more traditional horror film sense. Good balance of implausibility and possibility (if that makes sense). SFX and sets absolutely great, really impressive. The ending was insane, loved it. Worth watching but brace yourself.

  The Lives of Others 2006

  ★★★★ Watched 08 Sep 2024

  Gonna preface this with the fact that I didn't watch it all at once, so I probably would've like it more if I had. Still, it was amazing, and I'm definitely going to rewatch it (and not just because I have to). 
  Captured the voyeuristic nature of the Stasi very well in my opinion. Atmospheric music and good soundtrack overall. I didn't love the way they did the 'two years later' type things but I also often find those annoying/distracting…

  The Road 2009

  ★★★★ Watched 07 Aug 2024

  Definitely one of the better post-apocalyptic films out there, and 100% worth watching.
  It follows a fiercely protective father and his son travelling together and attempting to survive, with the former frequently dreaming about his life in the lead-up to the film's present day. 
  As soon as I finished the film, I looked up whether it was shot on film and it was: that was definitely a great decision. Not only did it elevate the visuals, but it worked superbly…
