  Throne of Blood 1957

  ★★½ Watched 17 Mar 2025

  Visually gorgeous, fun action set pieces and wild performances, but I struggled to connect with this Kurosawa flick; didn’t realise it was gonna be an adaptation of Macbeth, which is a Shakespeare play I’m so bored of seeing. I unfortunately checked out several times throughout, this does get fairly fun by the end, but I just didn’t care much for the story by then, maybe if this had been my first intro to the Macbeth storyline I would’ve been way more intrigued.

  Mickey 17 2025

  ★★★½ Watched 16 Mar 2025

  This has a lot of silly fun with its concept; didn’t expect this to have so much hilarious slapstick moments.

   Great lead from Pattinson, who is trying something completely new here which is awesome. Fun supporting roles from Mark Ruffalo and Toni Collette who ham it up in their villainous parodies. Naomi Ackie, Steven Yeun and Anamaria Vartolomei all give solid roles (one or two moments of overacting), but feel underdeveloped as a result of the film’s obvious cutting, especially…

  Biggest surprise is that I actually loved this movie! It’s an amazingly edited film and a breath of fresh air with how original its storytelling is.

  Doctor Who: The Church on Ruby Road 2023

  ★★½ Watched 25 Dec 2023

  Ncuti seems pretty fun so far, Ruby Sunday is a fantastic new companion and the two’s chemistry is great. However, the main goblin plot is forgettable and cringey, whilst also feeling very rushed. I’m still interested in seeing what’s in store.
