Carts of Darkness 2008 Aug 28, 2025 Rated 7
Avoids exploiting its subjects, offering instead a humanising portrait of people living on society's fringes who get their thrills from bombing down hills on shopping carts. And it somehow manages to do this while exploring nearly philosophical questions along the way. Good stuff.
Code Name Banshee 2022 Aug 26, 2025 Rated 3
Utterly conventional, verges on boring at times.
Eenie Meanie 2025 Aug 24, 2025 Rated 4
I've seen this film before, about 20 times. Generic and predictable.
Eddington 2025 Aug 23, 2025 Rated 7
I thoroughly enjoyed the ride, but I have absolutely no idea what the destination was. There are so many overlapping threads and references that the whole thing feels as overwhelming and dreamlike as the pandemic did, and maybe that's the point?
White Elephant 2022 Aug 21, 2025 Rated 4
Not the worst DTV film I've seen. Generic, with uneven pacing, but with some interesting action sequences when they do turn up.
Stolen: Heist of the Century 2025 Aug 18, 2025 Rated 6
Pretty standard documentary about a very interesting bunch of characters linked to the Antwerp diamond heist. Worth it for the ending reveal alone.
I Love You 1976 Aug 17, 2025 Rated 5
Beautiful cinematography and dialogue, but I can't say the story of sexual confusion that bordered on porn did much for me. Just bizarre.
Nandor Fodor and the Talking Mongoose 2023 Aug 17, 2025 Rated 4
Somewhat charming, but that's all it's got going for it.
Mr. Freedom 1968 Aug 16, 2025 Rated 8
As other reviews have mentioned, there is zero subtext here. It's as subtle as a punch to the face. But what a glorious and bonkers punch it is. A critique of American exceptionalism and imperialism that's, sadly, as relevant now as it was in 1968.
Cool Hand Luke 1967 Aug 15, 2025 Rated 7
Paul Newman is in fine form in this classic anti-establishment role. The religious allegory seemed a little unsubtle to me, but was outweighed by the marvellous acting and cinematography.
There Are No Fakes 2019 Aug 13, 2025 Rated 7
A fascinating documentary about forgery that takes an unexpected dark turn about half-way through. Addresses capitalism, colonisation, abuse and so many themes along the way. Well worth a viewing.
¡Casa Bonita Mi Amor! 2024 Aug 10, 2025 Rated 6
I'd never heard of Casa Bonita before watching this. It's definitely a place that could only exist in the USA. It's a fun, nostalgia-inducing watch. More rich people should be like the South Park guys and put their money into ventures like this rather than wrecking the world and building bunkers.
Zazie dans le Métro 1960 Aug 9, 2025 Rated 8
Louis Malle is obviously having great fun here, criticising the contradictions of modern post-war France through the eyes of a child. It's frenetic, cartoon-like and completely bonkers and I want to watch it again. The Eiffel Tower scenes are fantastic and it was also great to see a Cityrama bus in its full glory.
Bonjour Tristesse 2024 Aug 3, 2025 Rated 3
Visually stunning. Mostly vibes and nothing else. A grind to get through. Completely fails to capture the emotional weight of the book.
Behind Enemy Lines 2001 Aug 3, 2025 Rated 5
Completely ridiculous and jingoistic, but I enjoyed it. Gene Hackman elevates anything he's in. Owen Wilson was surprisingly competent as an action hero.
Get Out Your Handkerchiefs 1978 Aug 2, 2025 Rated 5
Blier is poetic and somewhat provocative here, but also flirts with misogyny, making me feel quite icky. I'm usually the perfect audience for his type of surrealism, but he feels aimless and meandering here, topping it off with a very weak ending. There are some memorable scenes and sharp dialogue, but not enough to make this great.
28 Years Later 2025 Jul 31, 2025 Rated 7
This felt very disjointed at first, until I realised there were basically three acts seen through different eyes: the father, the mother and then the son. The very last sequence linking back to the prologue. Beyond that, the cinematography, acting, and general atmosphere were fantastic and I'm looking forward to the next one.
Shatter 1974 Jul 28, 2025 Rated 5
A not-so-effective collaboration between Hammer and Shaw Brothers that's more interesting as a curio than as good action flick. Still, it's got a certain charm that's mostly due to the great shots of old Hong-Kong rather than the stilted action and lukewarm acting.
The Business 2005 Jul 24, 2025 Rated 4
Tired and full of clichés, but it's nice to see Danny Dyer toning down the Cockney bad boy bullshit a bit.
Black List 1984 Jul 20, 2025 Rated 7
Solid French vigilante film. Death Wish, but with a heart. Girardot's compassionate acting as a woman overwhelmed and trapped by her own pain is outstanding.
Eating Raoul 1982 Jul 18, 2025 Rated 6
Amusing idea that builds to a climax that falls a little flat. Still, it's got some clever and funny moments that make it all worth it.
Holy Spider 2022 Jul 17, 2025 Rated 7
Not an easy watch. Disturbing not only because of the true story that inspired it, but also for its struggle to balance its moral message with its stylish portrayal of events.
Heads of State 2025 Jul 15, 2025 Rated 5
Doesn't take itself too seriously, which makes it easy to enjoy the ridiculous but fun ride.
The Phoenician Scheme 2025 Jul 11, 2025 Rated 6
A more straightforward story than usual for Anderson. Somehow, despite that, it was still too random for me to actually care about any of the characters. The trademarks are still there though: immaculate photography, detailed production design and deadpan wit. Entertaining but, in the end, more of the same…
The Old Guard 2 2025 Jul 10, 2025 Rated 4
Dry and overcomplicated. Feels like everyone showed up because they had to.
Disco’s Revenge 2024 Jul 6, 2025 Rated 10
This is how you make a documentary. An in depth look into the history, influence and politics of disco. So many interesting stories in here and so much emotion. I learned a lot and it made me wish I could have experienced those early days.
The Pick-up Artist 1987 Jul 5, 2025 Rated 5
Cheesy, predictable and very very eighties.
The Old Guard 2020 Jul 3, 2025 Rated 5
Average comic book film that's decent but also very predictable.
Ballerina 2025 Jul 1, 2025 Rated 6
High on action, low on plot. And, what plot there is, is heavy on the over-exposition. Reeves shows up to act even more wooden than usual, but Ana De Armas is exceptional and makes it worth the watch.
Day of Reckoning 2025 Jun 26, 2025 Rated 5
Uneven neo-western. When the action starts, it's quite good. But that awful soundtrack really makes it hard to enjoy.
Mountainhead 2025 Jun 25, 2025 Rated 3
Mountainhead has many horribly accurate things to say about Silicon Valley billionaires, but does it in a boring and lifeless way. I struggled to reach the end.
Extraction 2 2023 Jun 24, 2025 Rated 5
Even less writing than the first, but more brainless action. And that action is impressive despite there being too much CGI for my liking.
Extraction 2020 Jun 22, 2025 Rated 5
Hollywood's obsession with that harsh yellow colour grading whenever they're showing Asia or South America is getting ridiculous. Anyway, this is pretty much what you expect: derivative but fun.
Presence 2024 Jun 22, 2025 Rated 8
An intimate and chilling ghost story with a refreshingly unique perspective. Soderbergh pulls off something quite impactful here.
Terminal Exposure 1987 Jun 21, 2025 Rated 4
Trashy eighties comedy that was not as bad as I expected. Badly acted and convoluted, but not without its charm. The biggest surprise was the score by Hans Zimmer.
The Killer 2024 Jun 19, 2025 Rated 5
John Woo-light. Not his best, but I enjoyed it for what it is (cheap streaming action that could have done with a shorter runtime).
Diablo 2025 Jun 17, 2025 Rated 6
Doesn't take itself too seriously and Adkins and Zaror go all out on the action. The writing is really bad, even for a VOD action flick. But, that's not what you watch this kind of film for. Perfect cinema junk food.
Sinners 2025 Jun 15, 2025 Rated 9
The threads don't all come together, but that's a detail compared to the masterful fusion of genres that absolutely shines on every level. That one "the roof is on fire" music scene alone is a tour de force. Remarkable.
The Shrouds 2024 Jun 14, 2025 Rated 8
A slow-burner with more loose ends than usual for Cronenberg. Still, it's transfixing from beginning to end, and surprisingly human. Its ideas build in your head long after viewing.
Deep Cover 2025 Jun 13, 2025 Rated 6
More frenetic than funny at times, but it's a fun enough popcorn film that gets better as it builds. Orlando Bloom holds it all together.
The Return: Life After ISIS 2021 Jun 12, 2025 Rated 7
A documentary that made me feel very conflicted. It's difficult not to feel empathy for these women who were manipulated as teenagers. I was susceptible at that age and rarely considered consequences. On the other hand, I get why no one wants them back after what they were involved in. Nonetheless, terrific documentary and highly recommended.
The Amateur 2025 Jun 10, 2025 Rated 6
Serviceable, formulaic, enjoyable but forgettable.
Death Line 1972 Jun 9, 2025 Rated 6
The story drags at times, but it's worth if for that grimy London Underground vibe and Donald Pleasence going all out.
The Surfer 2024 Jun 8, 2025 Rated 8
I felt like i was tripping half-way through this. Amazing Wake in Fright/Ozploitation homage where the overbearing heat just leaks from the screen and makes you question everything. Cage is the cherry on top.
Freaky Tales 2024 Jun 7, 2025 Rated 6
Fun little throwback anthology with a VHS aesthetic. Not enough smokers for a realistic 80s atmosphere, the rest is very much on point though. Nice little nods here and there to the classics, including Repo Man.
The Accountant² 2025 Jun 5, 2025 Rated 5
Mostly fine. Nothing revolutionary, but the chemistry between the leads makes up for a lot of the messiness.
Vera Drake 2004 May 31, 2025 Rated 9
Mike Leigh is the master of social realism and this one is yet another powerful punch to the gut. I'm tearing up just thinking about this again.
There Once Was a Cop 1972 May 28, 2025 Rated 5
Not Lautner's best. Flawed but satisfying police thriller. For some reason, Alain Delon appears for 2 seconds.
Den of Thieves 2: Pantera 2025 May 27, 2025 Rated 6
A competent if unremarkable heist film that ticks all the boxes.
How to Make a Killing 2024 May 24, 2025 Rated 8
Franck Dubosc on the poster usually makes me want to run away. Here, however, he pulls off a solid piece of Coen-like cinema. Dark humour, snowy landscapes, interesting characters and tragicomic spirals. It's a little uneven and loses its way a bit in the third act but, on the whole, it's comedy done right: funny, dark, and deeply human.
