  Dream Scenario 2023

  ★★★ Watched 23 Feb 2025

  Good Cage rather than great Cage but quite enjoyed the cynicism and meanness in this.

  Presence 2024

  ★★★ Watched 30 Jan 2025

  Liked the lo-fi approach and it works well for this premise. Some odd affectations in the performances but you know what? Pretty fine.

  War for the Planet of the Apes 2017

  ★★★★ Watched 11 Jul 2017

  You are impressive. Smart as hell. You're stronger that we are. But you're taking this all much too personally

  A sweeping, biblical tale of intolerance and fanaticism, revenge and redemption. It somehow manages to draw from Apocalypse Now, Shawshank and the films of David Lean without losing sight of its compelling premise and the Serkis/Caesar tour de force at its centre.

  A technical marvel and a fitting end to what should go down as one of the great blockbuster trilogies.
