  Family Pack 2024

  ★½ Watched 04 Mar 2025

  On holiday staying at a French directors house, he's called Romano:

  Romano: let's find some football to watch
  *there is no football*
  Romano: we could watch a film, i have Netflix
  Max: Sure
  Romano: what kind of film? We have action, comedy, something in English is possible.
  M: I'm happy to watch a good French film in French with some English subtitles!
  R: You want a GOOD French film on NETFLIX?! 😂
  M: Fair enough!
  *we find this film and the rest is history. It was funny and entertaining nevertheless by how terrible it was, turns out Netflix's French studios are even worse than ours.*

  Saltburn 2023

  ★★★½ Watched 18 Feb 2025

  Watched this a couple nights ago so some of my immediate thoughts have gone.

  Great to see Oxford city. Even greater to see Oxford Uni weirdos mwuhahahaha

  And it's a good enough film to deserve the hype, worth a watch if you haven't watched it because it was popular. That was me.

  Anyone else find the bath water stuff weirder than the grave stuff?

  The Brutalist 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 10 Feb 2025

  WOAH THAT FACE IS LIKE 5 METERS TALL - Max Burnett watching this in Imax (he hasn't watched an Imax film before)

  Poor Adrian Brody's nose :(
  It didn't seem to hold him back though coz he still put in an outstanding (by definition) performance!

  Mr 1950s America, Guy Pearce, legendary guy until all of a sudden he really isn't. No no no why did that happen wtf. Yeah, really enjoyable character though.

  The score is everything, Cinema worthy. Well…

  Inside Llewyn Davis 2013

  ★★★★ Watched 06 Feb 2025 3

  If you haven't watched it, it's probably the only film with folk music in you need to watch any time soon. *cough* Biopics will have nothing on this *cough*

  I never read other's reviews on the films I watch. But that was the first thing I did after this. People should have something interesting to say after watching this. It has an obvious moral, it's fabulistic, funny (obviously), and for a film that spends most of it's run time playing…
