The Thing 1982
Man's Worst Friend
"I know I'm human. And if you were all these things, then you'd just attack me right now, so some of you are still human."
Getting to see this film in the cinema was such an awesome experience, what's most impressive about what John Carpenter achieved with The Thing is how rewatchable it is, retaining the same level of intrigue and terror upon every revisit. I'm sat in the cinema, watching the film for the 'I don't…

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 2023
"Don't look at me like a lost puppy needing somewhere soft to lie down!"
I think I spent the better part of Vol. 3 either crying or with tears in my eyes, and it's absolutely wild to me that gap between the worst of the MCU and the best it has to offer is one movie, from Quantumania to this is a giant leap. As the end of a trilogy Vol. 3 is fantastic, like Vol. 2, the narrative works…

Anora 2024
"When you give me health insurance, workers' comp, and a 401K, then you can tell me when I work."
I built up a false picture of what this was actually going to be based on what I'd already seen/heard, it was almost completely nothing like I was expecting it to be. I was never sceptical of the acclaim Mikey Madison has been engulfed in of late, but to watch her in Anora is just to have hard proof of how…

The Gorge 2025
"Too much truth puts sadness in your heart and madness in your mind."
I like the premise, it's simple and feels like it hits some sci-fi tropes in the right ways. What I didn't expect was that the least engaging parts of the film would be what's in the mysterious gorge. The first scene with something coming out of it is really well done in how it disrupts the tone to create immediate and effective tension, the use of lighting…

Babylon 2022
"What we have here is high art, it's-"
"-Party time sparkle cocks!"
Has there been a film that so perfectly uses its commentary to tell how wonderful and important a medium cinema really is whilst also being a perfect example of it at the same time, as Babylon does? I'm not sure, but any little criticism I felt the first time just melted away coming back to it. I laughed, I cried, I fell in love, felt my heart break, and then all over again. And again, and again.
"What happens up on that screen means something."

Scream VI 2023
"Who gives a fuck about movies?!"
The most brutal in the franchise so far, and that's a point not to be understated when these slashers are known primarily for their knife-wielding, stab-happy antagonist. Where last year's Scream became the living embodiment of the 'requel', Scream VI turns inwards again to focus on the theme of franchise, what it means when a film series becomes 'episodic' and the changes that come when a trilogy, quadrilogy, saga, becomes a franchise. Easily the…
