| Greenland | 2020 | 2 Dec 20 | |||
| It's another end of the world film. Probably among the better ones but still trodding a well established and predictable path. | |||||
| My Psychedelic Love Story | 2020 | 1 Dec 20 | |||
| Less of a historical documentary than a glimpse into Harcourt Smith's glittery acid-soaked and well-filled life. Highly entertaining nonetheless. | |||||
| Fireball: Visitors From Darker Worlds | 2020 | 28 Nov 20 | |||
| Not particularly profound but strikes a lovely balance between Oppenheimer's scientific curiosity and Herzog's idiosyncratic narration. | |||||
| Nimic | 2019 | 27 Nov 20 | |||
| Another Lanthimos universe with its own rules. Eerie and fascinating. | |||||
| She's Funny That Way | 2014 | 27 Nov 20 | |||
| A fluffy screwball comedy that feels like it should have been made 60 years ago. Entertaining if you're happy with familiar tropes. | |||||
| Den of Thieves | 2018 | 26 Nov 20 | |||
| Derivative testosterone-bloated heist film that desperately wants to be Heat. Despite all that, it works well enough in the mindless entertainment department. | |||||
| The Art of Self-Defense | 2019 | 21 Nov 20 | |||
| Interesting, if a little superficial, take on toxic masculinity. Doesn't reach its full potential but lands enough dark punches to be entertaining. | |||||
| The Last Black Man in San Francisco | 2019 | 20 Nov 20 | |||
| Pure heartfelt poetry. Gorgeous cinematography and a beautiful score. | |||||
| Moscow on the Hudson | 1984 | 19 Nov 20 | |||
| Cold-war American propaganda. | |||||
| Identity | 2003 | 17 Nov 20 | |||
| Obsessed with its own cleverness. Loud yet empty. | |||||
