  Tenet 2020

  ★★½ Watched 24 Aug 2020

  People are talking about this film as if the fact they don’t understand what happened means that there’s more here than meets the eye, but I think the opposite is true - there’s less.

  The sound mixing was so bad there were points at which the score drowned out the dialogue, but it was so bland and convaluted that it might have actually helped my comprehension and enjoyment. 

  Evidently nobody has said “no” to Chris Nolan in a while. This is some ‘Emperors new clothes’ shit right here.

  Mystery, Alaska 1999

  One star for the scenery, because everything else about this movie sucks eggs. Watch Goon if you want a good hockey movie.
