    Past Lives

    ★★★★★

    A film that I endlessly adore. A film brimming with excellence and lessons about separation of the heart and the head. A movie about the importance of embracing your own path with uncompromising belief. The necessity of both independency and codependency alike. A love letter to nostalgia, the bitter and warm and overwhelmingly comforting falsehood of nostalgia.

    It’s the sleeping in not for rest but to stay in
    the relief that your dreams hold. It’s the constellation’s of a future…

    Dune: Part Two

    ★★★★★

    I have never seen a movie more than once in a cinema, never more than once in one week and never on my own. I left the cinema today completely lost for words, completely blown away and almost in a state of shock, even on my second viewing.

    Denis Villeneuve has balls of fucking steel and along with the genius of Greig Fraser and a monumental Hans Zimmer score, completely reinvents everything we know about science fiction and visual storytelling.…

    True Lies

    ★★★★

    When you have a booming runtime brimming with both style and substance, the odds are that James Cameron is the man behind the wheel. While I have never loved Arne and I am really not an action guy - this just oozes class, humour and scale. Don’t get me wrong, films like the Matrix and Mad Max are what the genre needs the most, you just can’t deny the fucking glory of a classic balls to the wall blockbuster like…

    ★★★★★

    Oxford describes beauty as “pleasing the senses or mind aesthetically”. I don’t consider that a just or fair definition. Taste of Cherry encapsulates why entirely. 

    Beauty isn’t in the stars or lamp lit city streets. It isn’t in the fanciest restaurant or finest painting money can buy. It’s in the soul. It’s in the people who light them lamps and wash your dishes when you’re done with them. It’s found within the people that clear your table. Beauty is a…

    Certain Women

    ★★★★★

    Wow. I can’t describe what I have just seen, partially due to absolutely nothing happening, mainly due to not having the words nor intellect. No analysis in my head but a shit load of emotions, so i’ll try and describe my feelings instead of my thoughts.

    It’s the scratching your dogs back with your toes while you’re half asleep on the sofa and no one is around. It’s the going for a run but having a cigarette halfway through and…
