  Hostiles 2017

  ★★★★½ Watched 27 Feb 2025

  “We’ll never get used to the Lord’s rough ways, Joseph.”

  This was exactly my kind of film. Off-beat and surprising, slow and explosive, lit in shadow and in blinding sun. It’s… far from perfect, but the pairings of trope and novelty are sublime, and it’s terribly emotional.

  A good companion piece to The Sisters Brothers.

  Poor Things 2023

  ★★★ Watched 28 Nov 2024

  Yeah this was fucking wild. Yorgos Lanthimos at his most… charming? Really quite a departure in all senses of the word. The set design and acting were absolutely delectable, and the sound design was unsettlingly effective. Acting on point. But still… it’ll be a while before I see this one again. Watching Lanthimos’s movies is like eating stinky cheese.

  Fight Club 1999

  ★★★½ Rewatched 01 Mar 2025

  Sheesh, this movie is so 90s. I forgot how green and dirty it is. Honestly a pretty overrated film, but I think everybody know that. It’s fun, and it’s great when you watch it for the first time. The ending is kinda charming.

  The Fifth Element 1997

  ★★★★ Rewatched 14 Feb 2025

  Still slaps. This movie is almost perfect. An iconic piece of sci-fi strangeness. Yeah it sucks, but it’s also the best thing ever made. So green.

  Blade Runner 2049 2017

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 11 Aug 2018

  “Her eyes were green.”

  What does it mean to be real? To exist? To be human?

  A deep retrospective into our nature, and our meaning. Blade Runner 2049 challenges our perception of what we know as existence, and how we classify others.
  A beautiful film.
