2025
 Pleasantville (1998)I watched this film several times as a kid and wanted to see if it held up. It does, it's a great film. Very much chewing over the use of "coloured" as a slur to refer to the (white) folk who go from black & white to technicolour; the movie is about conservative America, and unfortunately is all still extremely relevant, but I'm not sure this specific choice was the right one. | ★★★★☆ |
| A Minecraft Movie (2025) I laughed, and then they went to the Minecraft world, and then the movie ended. | ★★★☆☆ |
| The City and the City (2018) We watched ths as soon as I finished reading the novel it was adapted from and oh boy. They did add some clarifying scenes (certain relevant names are actually given screen time or even mentioned before the resolution, which helped) but overall I think this is still such a boring story to tell in this world. Neither the book nor show do anything with the concept of these constructed systems of separation that we enforce ourselves; in the end, the main character doesn't just enforce those systems, but becomes the ultimate enforcer. And not in a way that says anything, he just does it. I dunno man. Not into this one. I got thoughts about the languages though. | ★★★☆☆ |
| Severance: Season 2 (2025) Severance is the best show in the world and it retains that title even though I'm highly suspicious of many writing choices. | ★★★★★ |
| Hundreds of Beavers (2022) A friend had two spare tickets to go along to this and I'm sooo glad he invited us because this was the best movie I'll watch this year. Unexpectedly extremely funny, great layering of jokes, and really charming effects. | ★★★★★ |
| Mickey 17 (2025) Every criticism I had was blasted out of my brain the second Nasha was like "I'm going to fuck both of you". | ★★★★☆ |
| Barbarian (2022) A rewatch - it doesn't hold up as well the second time around since so much of the enjoyment comes from having no idea what will happen next, but I'm basing this rating off my first viewing. | ★★★★★ |
| Companion (2025) | ★★★★☆ |
| Trollhunter (2010) Another rewatch for the first time in a while and again I really enjoyed the first half and then the second half drags. Am I too picky? No, it's the film-makers who are wrong. | ★★★☆☆ |
| Men (2022) Here's the thing. This movie is boring. It's painfully slow and could have been tightened up a lot. It's clear what the film's thesis is, and the symbolism is pretty obvious. However, when I first saw it back in the cinema when it came out, there were elements that really stuck with me, and I'm not just talking about the end sequence. The tunnel scene also nestled firmly in my brain. I think this is a dull movie with commitment to its idea and I think the ending rules and I'm giving it four stars and I don't recommend anyone actually watch it. | ★★★★☆ |
| Skew (2011) Rescued this from a pile of DVDs my parents were getting rid of and dear god. It's only not a zero star movie because there was a little guy they greenscreened to look like he was running alongside the car real fast and I enjoyed that | ★☆☆☆☆ |
| Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl (2024) | ★★★☆☆ |
| Nosferatu (2024) I have the feeling a lot of my ratings are going to be really polarising. I adored the first half of this, okay? And I really liked the contract. | ★★★☆☆ |
| Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001) This was a rewatch and it was fucking boring at times but you know what. There are some great scenes in this. It holds up as a goofy action movie | ★★★★☆ |
