  Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy 2011

  ★★★★½ Watched 15 Mar 2025

  You really have to concentrate to watch this movie, but I really think it's worth it. It has a very vintage espionage aesthetic to it.

  Megalopolis 2024

  Rewatched 11 Dec 2024 1

  Two hours and eighteen minutes of nuclear weapons-grade insanity. This movie must have been storyboarded with a stack of newspaper pages swept from the floor of a New York subway station, a copy of Gladiator 2 playing on repeat in the background, a spool of red string and a cork board.

  Tired of genre conventions bringing you down? Look no further than Megalopolis.
