  Twin Peaks: The Return 2017

  ★★★★★ Watched 17 Jan 2025

  To David, It's strange saying goodbye to someone you have never met. It was an honour to walk the earth with the greatest auteur cinema has ever seen, the ultimate iconoclast. His visions often had the darkest evil but always the most full beautiful heart to counter it. You blessed my formative nights with your Lynchian dreams, you leave behind your timeless hand-made art and all the artists you've inspired but also all the regular folks like me who you taught how to live the art life...

  Captain America: Brave New World 2025

  ★★★ Watched 28 Feb 2025

  Pretty slick and vibrant, I really didn't mind it. All the action was meaningful and character focused. And, alittle like previous Cap America movies, it was very much a Disney™️ political satire for our time with muted surface level punches but it works well enough. Mackie and Ford work very well and have a tremendous amount of screen presence.

The Brutalist tells of an accomplished Hungarian architect fleeing to the States after WW2 and trying to start a new in the American way just with his blood, sweat and talent.

  La La Land 2016

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 04 Jun 2020

  'There's a nice way to say that Karen'

  Its technically flawless, painting a true 'techni-colour world' and as a musical; every song is a banger. However, more importantly it is a timeless ode to anyone who had or has a dream or a vision of a life they could live or may have missed. It has alot to say about nostalgia and the balance of looking back and reflection with moving forward and moving on which I think the end…

  Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 2023

  ★★★★½ Watched 06 May 2023 1

  The guardians are back for one last ride, and this ain't no victory lap, its gonna hurt! Man, that higher evolutionary fellow is a real basterd.

  I wasn't sure how much of a chore this film might have been for Gunn, after looking forward to bigger things in DC but not at all. All Gunns are firing here. These Marvel movies really are given so much more heft and weight when they feel finite and not just one of many…
