  Bend It Like Beckham 2002

  ★★★★ Rewatched 15 Mar 2025 2

  Maybe it’s because I’m soon to become a girl-dad next week, but I cried twice watching this. So much heart and sincerity.

  Tampopo 1985

  Stunning! Masterpiece! Nothing else like it. Weirdly has the vibe of a Saturday morning cartoon with its main story. Such a joy. I’m going to eat some ramen today.

  A Real Pain 2024

  ★ Watched 15 Oct 2024

  Pretty abysmal. Amateurish filmmaking, just embodies everything bad about twee dramadys that we thought we left behind in 2005, this was painfullly unfunny. Culkin does all he can to add some humour to a stilted script abundant with character exposition, but this film was sinking from 5 minutes in. Unsalvageable. Every time I heard a piece of Chopin I wanted to claw my eyes out. Eisenberg doesn't have it as a director and this film is an SOS for him…

  This film has no concept of space or time and is kind of incredible
