    Requiem for a Dream

    ★★★★

    WOAH, what a fucking weird film that is, and I mean that in a good way. Available on the Primey stuff if you fancy your head falling off - although I'm warning you, it's a pretty dark watch so it could be too rich for some !

    This psychological drama depicts four characters drastically affected by drug addiction and dramatically explores how this addiction alters their physical and emotional state. All four characters become imprisoned in a world of delusion…

  • Shallow Grave

    Shallow Grave

    ★★★★

    Danny Boyle's debut film 'Shallow Grave' certainly set the tone for an illustrious directing career with further films such as Trainspotting, Slumdog Millionaire and 127 hours all yet to come. He really is a shit, shit hot director - one of the goats imo

    ★★★★

    Sunk a few pints tonight post essay slogging and fancied an easy watch. The Simpsons as a series is definitely goated (S1-10 anyway). Although the movie doesn't quite live up to the lofty heights as the series, it's still fucking quality.

    I've added half a star for nostalgia bias. You know the rest - from spider pig to boob lady it's going to be laugh central as take a trip down memory lane. 100% worth the isolation rewatch

    Blade Runner

    ★★★½

    "What do you mean you've never seen Blade Runner?" a famous line from the Arctic Monkeys tune 'Star Treatment' - Well Alex Turner, I've seen it now and I thought it was decent fella

    The movie is set in a dystopian depiction of '2019', based on what they thought it would look like in 1982. This is quite amusing as we still don't have flying cars, despite every futuristic film predicting we will - hopefully one-day ey

    Anyway, Rick Deckard…
