  Paddington in Peru 2024

  ★★★ Watched 27 Feb 2025

  Easily the worst Paddington film, an imitation that fails to capture the deep emotional core that the previous two films were built around. However, it is a pretty successful imitation. Even though the careful filmmaking that had made the series such a perfect pair of humor and heart isn't present, it still finds its way to a few lovely moments by the end.

  I think one of the film's biggest issues is a lack of any new relationships for Paddington…

  The Penguin 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 18 Nov 2024

  Would be 5 stars if he ever once used an umbrella as a weapon. I don't even need it to be a gunbrella, if he had just whacked someone with a normal umbrella the show would be perfect.

  The Substance 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 26 Sep 2024

  Supremely terrifying, I haven't felt this uncomfortable watching a film since I saw Eraserhead when I was 12. I do think it would've been even more impactful if it ended 10-15 minutes earlier than it did, and there are some plot points I wish happened differently, but otherwise this is one of the best horrors I've ever seen.
