  The Color of Lies 1999

  ★★★★ Watched 27 Feb 2022

  much more concerned with liars than the lies themselves, despite what the title may suggest. it is rich with character rather than the twists, turns and tension one might usually expect from a story of this kind, though still it has an eeriness. and there are two particular moments of revelation that are especially thrilling - both, aptly, involving pictures.

  Cure 1997

  ★★★★★ Watched 28 Sep 2020

  a shape-shifting, barebones nightmare, as deeply menacing as it is alluring, realised with maniacal precision and confidence, and  prompting the darkest of curiosities. masterpiece.

  Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker 2019

  ★ Watched 23 Dec 2019

  Absurdly heavy on the callbacks; the sequence that begins with Han and ends with the reemergence of Luke’s X-Wing is particularly ridiculous. Palpatine even says “DEW IT”. Doesn’t seem to be trying to offer much else. Wrap this up and tuck it away with those lightsabers Rey.
