Ratings are irrelevant, which is lucky as I've completely lost control of my rating system.

Deep Blue Sea 1999
Incredible premise (genetically modified ultra intelligent homicidal sharks), amazing setting (sea lab in the middle of the ocean), super tight fast paced plotting, and an overpowering sense of utter uncertainty over who if anybody will actually get out alive.
This is animal-centric action cinema (acac?) done right.
Very much a post Jurassic Park project, but in an exceedingly rare case is all the better for it.
Learns all of the right lessons, leans heavily into the highs (pack hunting terror!)…Translated from by -
The Cat 1988
Extremely strong and smart heist/robbery film.
Nearly to a fault, but has just enough of a sense of humour (what an ending!) and emotional core running through all of the calculated precision for it to shine very brightly.Very much in the upper echelon of this sort of film.

Hannah Gadsby: Nanette 2018
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
I briefly stopped watching this after about fifteen minutes in order to find some paper to write my thoughts on. Unfortunately, I now have a page of scribbles which I can’t read, as apparently I cannot write in the dark very well. The following is my rambling reactionary and borderline incoherent attempt to remember/decipher what I had written.
Firstly, on a technical note, I dislike the rapid editing associated with the stand-up medium - what is this, a music video?…
