  Anora 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 09 Feb 2025

  Ooof. Pretty great.

  Loved how it was shot and edited. Mikey Madison is fantastic. A lot sillier and funnier than I expected too.

  Not quite sure to what to make of the ending? It's a wild and fun ride, and then reality hits and you're just left wondering what the heck it was all about.

  But maybe that's the point.

  Nosferatu 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 04 Jan 2025

  Pretty great! Loved the grim, moody aesthetic.

  Had to work reeeeally hard to stop picturing Nandor The Relentless whenever Count Orlok spoke though... but that's on me.

  Joker 2019

  ★★½ Watched 10 Oct 2019 3

  Ehhh... pretty underwhelming despite all the polarized opinions and controversy.

  Good stuff:
  - Joaquin Phoenix is amazing (as he always is)
  - The cinematography is excellent
  - The score/soundtrack are pretty good too

  Not good stuff:
  - Borrows heavily from other films. Not bad in itself, but it doesn't know what to do with any of it nor does it have anything of substance to add.

  - Disjointed themes and plot threads. The class war and Arthur's personal journey were…

  Avengers: Endgame 2019

  ★★★★★ Watched 25 Apr 2019 1

  FUCK YES. This is why I love cinema.

  Endgame was:

  1) Quite different to what I expected?
  2) A fucking M A S T E R P I E C E

  Probably the biggest film event... ever? Really, in many ways this feels more like an event than a film, and that puts it in a league of its own. And somehow they still managed to live up to the hype.

  Also perhaps the best cinema-going experience of my life, with everyone cheering and hollering at all the right moments.

  I loved every minute.
