Furiosa (2024)
Dir: George Miller
☆☆☆☆☆
WOW!! Just finished watching. One of the best things I've seen in years. A seriously impressive achievement. Engrossing storytelling, kinetic, visually stunning from first frame to last, surprisingly funny and truly deserving of the mantle: Epic! I'm almost hesitant to shower this one with so much praise so soon after my initial viewing but I think this may be one of those rare examples of a faultless movie.

Love Actually (2003) Review - Big Buddha AN XMAS 🐔 11/12/2022

In case you missed it, here's last years Christmas video, an in-depth look at Richard Curtis' 2003 comedy Love Actually. The funny thing is, all though I believe the film to be utter trash on a technical level and I believe I present a strong case as to why in the video itself, in the course of making it I developed a soft spot for the film. It's become kind of a guilty pleasure and one I'm kind of looking forward to watching over the Christmas period . . . but it is utter trash. Enjoy folks!

Surprised how much I liked Spencer. Wasn't expecting a film about Princess Di to be influenced by The Shining to the extent this was. Superb performance by Kristen Stewart also.

19/03/2022

Highly recommend Nightmare Alley. Guillermo Del Toro does film noir and does it well. Make sure you stick around for the F'ed-up ending though.

17/03/2022

Anyone caught this little animated show recently? Funny, bizarre, non-offensive and beautifully animated in the style of old-school Disney.

Bottom at 30: A rude, crude and deplorable sitcom - that's why it was the best I’ve heard it said that Bottom ‘couldn’t be made today’. I disagree - if only the late, great Rik Mayall were still alive.
