Mickey 17 2025
Struggled structurally with it and really felt little to nothing for Mickey 17 despite his awful predicament. The dialogue felt so on the nose at times, plus it was overwhelming in both exposition and delivery. Wanted more Mickey 18 and that was the one thing the film seemed to hold back on. In fact no character really felt that fleshed out - many of them serving the plot exclusively - and only one aside from M17 had a complete arc…

One of Them Days 2025
Technically not the best, script average but just goes to show the power of charisma from the ladies.

Sixteen Candles 1984
Even putting aside how disgusting it is through a modern lens, it’s just not well written. A coming of age about a character who doesn’t even evolve through the film, other than apologising to her sister for being a bit of a twat? A love interest who’s only as interesting as his flashy car? We barely see them together or why they like one another. Obviously the characters are one dimensional (and deplorable) so it’s hard to care about any of them. Hughes has a strong filmography but this one is incomprehensible.

Heart Eyes 2025
I’m convinced this was co-written by AI that exclusively harvests data from Twitter. So many references to the zeitgeist that is a) stupidly on the nose and b) will undoubtedly age like milk. $18mill so it looks like Dan Mindel’s protege DP’d it but all wasted on a student-film-that-requires-free-labour script. The gory horror elements are indulgent but that’s the bare minimum for a slasher isn’t it? You could watch How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days and Halloween back to back, let your imagination do the work and you’d have a better time.
