  Iguana 1988

  ★★★½ Watched 14 Feb 2025

  Robinson Eyesore.

  Morals all topsy turvy with shocks and unexpected turns. Monte Hellman is pretty bloody great at turning cheap movies into cinema. It's not Cockfighter or 2 Lane level, but I'll probably be thinking about bits of this for days.

  As straight edge as Cronenberg gets. Cracking matroshka yarn.

  Challengers 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 25 Jan 2025

  Expected sexy youthful, got cleverly constructed story with great soundtrack too. Micro to macro drama. Horrible characters really, but was engrossed nonetheless. Like the best tennis matches, the endgame was superb viewing.

  Kneecap 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 19 Aug 2024

  "Mae pob gair o Wyddeleg ti'n siarad yn fwled yn y frwydr dros ryddid Iwerddon."

  Ma'r joio pur mewn ingestio amrywiaeth eang o recreational drugs, a'r steil yn atgoffa fi o Human Traffic, ond efo llawer gwell stori, cymeriadau empathetic, miwsig mwy real, lot mwy o hiwmor a dos sylweddol o wleidyddiaeth iaith gyfiawn. Banging.
