  Wicked 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 22 Nov 2024

  While watching in Ultra AVX I find myself thinking - this sound ain’t all that. The attention to detail is fantastic, diversity of casting, and Cynthia can never do any wrong.

  Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse 2023

  ★★★★★ Watched 02 Jun 2023 1

  Sheer Genius plus we got to go to Mumhattan and meet Mumbai’s Spider Man, a bomb ass pregnant Black Spider-Woman, plus a punk Spider Man who is cooler than Lenny and Jimi combined.

  I’m not convinced IMAX is required but hey, why not if you have the option? 

  Just get out and see it in the theatre. 🕷️
