  Enter the Dragon 1973

  ★★★★ Watched 24 Mar 2025

  Cameraman set out to use his zoom lense and rail as much coke as possible. Cinema.
  Surprisingly dark and well constructed espionage means this isn't just relying on its excellent fight choreography.

  Anora 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 01 Mar 2025

  Good but lacks the juice, despite being new ground in topic the filmmaking is by the numbers and what is supposed to be a reality shattering heel turn feels just like a return to normality.

  Four Lions 2010

  ★★★★½ Rewatched 15 Sep 2023

  Confusion and misdirection. Every joke lands with a cruel sense of naivety and melancholy. These are men who think they have a righteous cause, but are misguided in their ideals in the most tragic of ways. The performances and writing are genius in a unique British, devastating way. One of the truly perfect satires that understands what it wants its message to be and hits a home run whilst being incredibly entertaining.
  They doubt themselves all the way through, but don't doubt their beliefs in the same way, and that's where the tragedy lies.
