  Talk to Me 2022

  ★★½ Watched 20 Mar 2025

  Didn't really care for any of the characters but beside that, everything in the right place for a horror of this caliber.

  The Fifth Element 1997

  ★★★★ Rewatched 20 Mar 2025

  First rewatch in ages, still a blast. The humour and the general vibe has complete gone over my head when I watched this as a youngster!

  The Boy and the Heron 2023

  ★★★★½ Watched 14 Jul 2023 1

  Opening day in Japan. Marketing budget was roughly two rusty coins, meaning we only got the poster a month before release and...that was it. No empty seat in sight, fully booked.

  Miyazaki is freewheeling and firing on all cylinders, what a show. Whimsical, full of colour, wonder and keeps you guessing all the way to the end.

  Round About Midnight 1999

  ★★★★ Watched 09 Apr 2023

  This is one heck of a hidden gem. Jazz, 90s Tokyo, sudden murder case on our hands and just great mood and vibes.

  This needs a re-release like yesterday, to let it truly shine.
