Full Metal Jacket 1987
I have seen parts of Full Metal Jacket here and there but this is my first time watching the whole thing. It’s very dark and harrowing. I found the first half of the film in boot camp difficult to watch at times but Vincent D'Onofrio gives the best performance as Private Pyle.

There’s some great cinematography and the tense soundtrack accompanies it perfectly. After watching Dune for the first time, I wanted to learn everything I could about the lore. I’m currently reading the first three books in the franchise.

Mickey 17 2025
A wonderful and wacky film from Bong Joon Ho. Mickey 17 is a goofy space oddity with some great cinematography and brilliant production design. Robert Pattinson's comedic talent really shows in this movie, playing the polar opposite personalities of both Mickey 17 and 18.
It’s a wild ride and exactly what I was expecting from Bong Joon Ho. The film is full of political satire, with Mark Ruffalo's hilarious performance as politician and all around douche bag Kenneth Marshall. The character…
