  Oppenheimer 2023

  ★★★★★ Watched 01 Aug 2023 6

  For the first time I've felt like Nolan has trusted his audience, in cinemas true meaning of show don't tell, he's usually too afraid to let go. To let go and trust his own art, lacking in exposition dumps (sure this movie has some, but not overburdening) but it didn't click until the scene of the thumping shoes post blast sequence that we'd been using suffocating visuals to convey emotion (!) as well as Nolan's most horrifying haunting visual work…

  The Texas Chain Saw Massacre 1974

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 25 Oct 2022 2

  Uncovering and learning the truth around exposed atrocities can be harrowing.

But what we’ve seen for many years from Scorsese are films that show a systematic power at force, in this case a large white group controlling the system and people for their…

  John Wick: Chapter 2 2017

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 15 Mar 2023 11

  Buster Keaton is the first image on screen in John Wick 2; a fitting individual thats representing the enigmatic body violence and motion of John Wick and this world. Set against ancient architecture of Rome history comes back to bite the future, our past always haunts us, follows us until its caught up and we have to face it head on. Just like looking at yourself in the mirror, or a wall of moving neon mirrors in this case. It's…
