The Hunchback of Notre Dame 1996
Epic in every sense of the word, The Hunchback of Notre Dame is the dark horse of the renaissance era and is grossly overlooked. The balance between light and shade is mastery. And the thematic exploration of religious hypocrisy, genocide and lust in a family film is crazy insane but commendable. Disney wouldn’t dare do this today, they just don’t make films like they use to.
P.S. I’m so gay so wtf am I so attracted to Esmerelda?!?! What is wrong with me? Send help!
P.S.S. Count Frollo’s ‘Hellfire’ … fkn go off hon!

Mickey 17 2025
Why did Robert Pattinson sound like Woody Allen as Zee from ANTZ? I guess we’ll never know!
Thoroughly enjoyed the comedy and social commentary in this, not to mention it was refreshing seeing a leading man without the hyper masculinity.
Mickey 17 was definitely giving Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, iykyk.

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga 2024
The positive reception towards this film is a true testament to the artistry of Fury Road. The cinematography is very inconsistent and at times looks b-grade. Not to mention the cgi sticks out like a sore thumb against some of the practical stunts.
Sadly the film also lacks tension as certain scenes linger on for far too long and is quite repetitive in it’s storytelling. Anya is a superb actor but was miscast, this shouldn’t have been made without Charlize; she MADE Furiosa.
A bit disappointed but at the same time I’m open to a rewatch in the future.

Love Lies Bleeding 2024
This one is for the lesbians and I couldn’t be happier!
Love Lies Bleeding starts off strong but doesn’t quite stick the landing. I would have loved to see Jackie develop past her steroid rage. However, this does not take away from the films strengths. The cinematography is mesmerising creating an atmospheric charm that emulates 1980s neo-noir crime thrillers, ‘Blood Simple’ immediately came to mind. Also Kristen Stewart was phenomenal, the chemistry between her and Katy O’Brian was off the charts. My jaw dropped many a time. This will definitely be a favourite 2024 film of mine.
