  Challengers 2024

  ★★★ Watched 01 Jan 2025

  Disappointing, great premise so poorly delivered.
  The extensive slo mo at the end was excruciating I wanted to shoot myself during the 20 minutes they spent staring at each other. Music was a headache too.
  Josh O'Connor was good I guess, otherwise I'm not sure it was really worth a watch.

  Like Father, Like Son 2013

  ★★★½ Watched 23 Jul 2024

  Predictable and formulaic, but it's a good formula.
  Fukuyama was really good and the family dynamic was great. Film basically carried by the concept, it's basically like Blood Brothers if it was set in Japan and a bit more interesting.

  M. Butterfly 1993

  Be prepared for the coup of the century.
  Yeah, first cronenberg and it was a winner - Jeremy Irons is a very convincing idiot and I like that his voice sounds just like Scar in non lion roles.
  Music is very moving, way ahead of its time on trans questions, and engaging right up to the credits!
