  Spencer 2021

  ★★★★ Watched 17 Feb 2025

  This movie, with its gorgeous cinematography, perfectly weighted dialogue, and Kristen Stewart's beautifully modulated performance has immediately made me deeply regret my historically uncharitable attitude to Diana Spencer

  This isn't necessarilly always the case, but Ben Affleck brings such profound dumb guy energy to this otherwise completely unremarkable movie

  The Substance 2024

  ★ Watched 06 Oct 2024 2

  This movie: "So it's a biting satire about the way the entertainment industry commodifies youth and the female body"

  Also this movie: "So Margaret, congratulations on getting the role, get in the gym because this movie is going to be 45% close ups of your ass"

  Smile 2 2024

  ★½ Watched 17 Oct 2024

  Just fucken...can we stop doing horror movies that are about the inescapability of trauma? Can the emotional torture porn cycle please be over? Thank you?

  And on a personal note the way this movie handles addiction recovery is completely fucked. Mike Flanagan gets it, Parker Finn doesn't.
