  Better Man 2024

  ★★½ Watched 11 Mar 2025

  The dubious storytelling throughout this vanity project initially put me off until I realised that, only 7 months before this movie's release, the monkey from the PG Tips adverts (famous for breakfast table back-and-forth-ing with Johnny Vegas) was honorably discharged from service and said monkey was voiced by an actor coincidentally born in Nantwich, a mere TWENTY MINUTE DRIVE from Robbie Williams' birth home in Stoke-on-Trent.

  Sharknado 2013

  ★ Watched 11 Mar 2025

  Actually enjoyed how intentionally disorienting and surreal this was beyond the eponymous 'shark-nado'. Totally impossible to work out the layout of any room or setting in this and each plot point could have been written by a different person.

I was more impressed than I expected but, regardless, it's impossible to give this more than 1 star. Absolute trash but I've wasted my time in worse ways.

  Hot take - the colour red was symbolising power relationships between the characters -

  1 - Luxurious red silk bedsheets are enjoyed by Vanya but only at the will of his parents "that bedroom that you've been…

  A History of Violence 2005

  ★★ Watched 27 Dec 2024 5

  In a world without state or federal law enforcement Millbrook county Sheriff Sam has to handle the murder of 5 hardened criminals linked to a multitude of murders and organised crime across the country all by himself.

  I can't believe I saw my pals giving this obviously sub-mid shiter of a film 4+ stars and took their words for it. That's 1.5 hours I'm never getting back.
