  Mickey 17 2025

  ★★ Watched 20 Mar 2025

  You like Robert Pattinson in Space? Skip this, go watch High Life!

  Despite Bong Joon Ho's uniquely quirky direction and Robert Pattinson noteworthy performances, the plot of this film falls flat on its face. By choosing to dedicate an abnoxious amount of time in developing useless and uninteresting characters and subplots, Mickey 17 shows that there is a truly fascinating character study that's unfortunately buried under this mountain of garbage. A very disappointing outing to one of my most anticipated movies of the year.

  Queer 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 20 Feb 2025 1

  I get unrequited love, but this is Daniel Craig we're talking about here... Check yourself Starkey!

  Queer is truly a fever dream of a film. While not necessarily reliant on a clearly defined plot, the performances and surreal atmosphere made for one of the most unique experiences I've had in some time. I'm still wrapping my head around this one.

  The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring 2001

  ★★★★ Watched 16 Feb 2025

  Its about that time of year again to sit in front of the TV for 11 Hours and 36 Minutes for the greatest road trip story ever told!
  
  Setting off on this adventure feels so good everytime! Despite some minor pacing issues (potentially resulting from the extended editions added scene count), The Fellowship of the Ring is an incredible first entry into arguably one of the (if not the) best film trilogies of all time. The film excellently develops the world of Middle Earth through its stunning production design, convincing performances, and beautifully crafted dialogue. Best of all, they only get better from here!
