  Mickey 17 2025

  ★★★½ Watched 10 Mar 2025

  Didn’t expect all the nonsense. Bong went to silly town and then the White House to write this.  

  I feel like it tried to cram about 10 movies into one. The Menu meets Oblivion meets Don’t Look Up meets Challengers meets President <redacted> and his billionaire loser sidekick.

  You’re telling me I’m supposed to believe at some point in the future we’ve built a cloning printer when I can’t even get my inkjet one to work for one f***ing second? How’bout we fix those first.

  The Brutalist 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 10 Feb 2025

  Warning: Sadly this film will not bring an end to your distaste for Brutalist architecture 😔

  That was possibly the most unpredictable second half of a film I’ve seen in a very long time—or maybe even ever?

  Absolutely majestic in terms of scale and grandeur. I personally firmly refuse to believe it was shot on film for under $10M. Someone needs to check the books for a cover up. 

  Since Conclave was audaciously snubbed from being nominated for best cinematography…

  Emilia Pérez 2024

  ★½ Watched 27 Jan 2025

  This film tries to depict that apparently, if El Chapo had gender reassignment surgery, he would’ve turned into Mother Teresa. 

  I personally did not need a poorly written musical about a drug cartel Mrs Doubtfire Netflix but to each their own. 

  Childhood Nick/Disney stars who can act:
  Zendaya
  Zac Efron
  Ariana Grande

  Ones who can’t:
  Bella Thorne
  Debby Ryan
  Selena Gomez

  I won’t get too caught up in its inauthenticity and the implausibility of it all considering nothing in this film is to be taken seriously. Right?

  Oh, how many Oscar nominations did you say?

  A Real Pain 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 26 Jan 2025 3

  Why was Will Sharpe from Yorkshire?

  Firm believer that accent should stay off screen unless it’s Wallace and Gromit or someone from gogglebox sorry. 

  Kieran Culkin was well deserving of that Globe. The more I see him play a variant of Roman Roy and this type of character though the more I think this is just him.

  Well balances wit with its sombre overtone although I never felt too engaged emotionally.
