  Kill List 2011

  ★★★★ Rewatched 22 Mar 2025

  **GRIMMFEST double bill w/EDEN LAKE**

  “Thank you.”

  Grimmer than ever (I’m getting old), but still holds up and makes perfect narrative sense, I’m certain.

  The end of the world is nigh.

  Adolescence 2025

  ★★★★★ Watched 20 Mar 2025

  Stunning achievement. Four episodes, each remarkably a single take and a differing perspective of the story. Loads to ponder. Every performance kills. Stephen Graham breaks my heart.
  Some of the finest television drama I have ever seen.

  Mio on the Shore 2019

  ★★★★★ Watched 04 Jul 2021 2

  Just sublime.
  Everything that is good about Japanese cinema is in here. The unsaid to tell a story, to attract emotion and provoke thought.
  The final scene will linger long as one of my favourite film endings that I've seen in a long time. x

  Absolute bonkers Shaw Brothers HK horror at its finest. Takes a good half hour to get going.....then just what-the-actual-f*ck comes one after another. Strong jaw and floor needed.
  Can't wait to get into more SBHK horror later this month x.
