    R.E.M. Tourfilm

    ★★★★★

    R.E.M. I love you. This is just such a cool movie/music doc . In 1988 we didn’t exactly know it yet but R.E.M. were about to own the alt rock world’s ass (and pretty much the rest of the music world’s too). Here they are back then, when the world was still young, showcasing their particular ability to walk with dazzling grace the line between the alternative experimental arthouse and the accomplished school of music. Palpably authentic, fresh, confident, unstoppable. There’s also reference made to a liberal political agenda, some eyeliner and a megaphone. Did I mention that I love them?

  • Tenet

    Tenet

    ★★½

    First time back at the cinema since lockdown and, oops, Chris Nolan might just have fucked with physics once too often.

    At its best, Tenet is like a cross between classic James Bond and David Lynch, with all the requisite wit, action, bad guy narcissism and intriguing weirdness that that would imply. The off-the-wall bro dynamic between Washington and Pattinson is enjoyable and well delivered and there are some mysterious moments and dramatic sequences that work, mostly action and combat…
