  Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging 2008

  ★★★★★ Watched 22 Nov 2023

  This movie is full of girl humour, going back to first crushes and falling in love for the first time- all those cringe worthy moments…
  girls and women of all ages should love this film, its filled with laughs, embarrassment, and down right sweet moments. This movie is so realistic!!

  Eyes Wide Shut 1999

  Watched 19 Nov 2023

  It's empty of ideas, which is fine, but it's also empty of heat. full of unnecessarily forced sex, which pretends to be full of passion and sexual permissiveness.
  The realism in this movie fades into surrealism, then into outright foolishness. Morbidly paced foolishness.

  Mysterious Skin 2004

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 19 Nov 2023

  Mysterious skin is at once the most harrowing and strangely, the most touching film I have seen about child abuse. It is unflinching in its tough realism- although there is no graphic sex on the screen. The violence sometimes surrounding it, is painful and unsentimental. The film is more about revelations and self-discovery, the boys road to mutual healing. The coach is neither apologised for nor presented as a figure of manifest evil, and the social background of the lower-middle-class Midwest is nicely observed. The movie is revealing and deeply affecting and both leading actors are first-rate.
