  Ferrari 2023

  ★★★½ Watched 11 Jan 2024

  I love Michael Mann films from Last of the Mohicans, to Hear, collateral and even Miami Vice. I think he can do about anything! His use of sound, camera direction and the performances he gets are very signature to his style.

  Cillian Murphy has always been brilliant, let’s be…

  ★★★★½ Watched 01 Jun 2023

  First off, let me get this out of the way… the 4 1/2 ⭐️ is in no way a diss. This movie is incredible in every frame. It makes almost every other superhero by comparison look tame. If “into” is a 5… this is a 4.9. The opening sequence with Gwen was breathtaking, the time they give to proper character development and dialogue in this movie is rarely seen in a big budget animated film ( IMO how to train…
