  The Substance 2024

  ★★★★★ Watched 18 Mar 2025

  I never thought they’d get someone like Demi Moore to play Lady Cassandra from Doctor Who on the big screen!

  Non-joke review: I need to see everything that Coralie Fargeat has done or will do, stat. Also: body dysmorphia is a hell of a drug.

  Tenet 2020

  ★★★★★ Watched 16 Mar 2025

  This is everything I wanted Inception to be and more. Immaculate vibes, great Kojima-style monologuing, and Robert Pattinson as Neil is so fucking good. 

  Also shout out to Fiona Dourif and Aaron Taylor-Johnson for their utterly absurdly good character transformations. Would’ve been 4.5 stars but the music gives it another half-star.

  Gladiator 2000

  ★★★★★ Watched 16 Mar 2025

  ”There was once a dream that was Rome. You could only whisper it. Anything more than a whisper and it would vanish... it was so fragile. And I fear that it will not survive the winter.”

  Forgive me, Gladiator, I was not familiar with your game. Damn.

  Heretic 2024

  ★★★ Watched 15 Mar 2025

  I think I liked this film a lot better when it was doing more psychological “you’re locked in here with me, debate me” stuff and less when it started trying to be religious Saw. 

  Also, did we really need Sherlock Holmes-ass smash cuts through figuring out “the mystery”? I found that really gratuitous and it ate into the build up to the climax of the film in a way that just kinda killed it for me. 

  At least the cinematography in the beginning was pretty cool.
