Really enjoyable film. I loved the Michael Cera scene. Now to complete the trilogy of Running Man and read the book

A swirling, abstract film. Beautifully shot throughout and some great work by Jennifer Lawrence and RPatz.

Genuinely thought they’d cast Benicio Del Toro as old Leonardo Di Caprio for a moment. What a movie. Probably film of the year

Probably my least favourite of the three but still some good moments.

They just don’t get better but man they make for good films on flights

Plane film #6: Lost my mind by this point. Loved the meta Julia Roberts thing and the Bruce cameo.

Plane Watch #3: Nice dramatic Sci-Fi. Thought it was well acted all round and the premise is right up my street.

Man this film was good. What did it not have?

Your classic Ferrell/McKay comedy. Not as good as the peaks of these movies but still drew some laughs

Pure bleakness, outstanding depth. The bluntness to the violence was excellent. Great film

Truly a mental film. A nonstop hit parade of post-killing one liners.

Darren made a funny one!

Hilarious! Completely unexpected, I barely stopped laughing throughout.

Gripping and creepy in all the right measures.

It’s no Past Lives but it’s still a very well made film.

A fun little movie that’s heavy on the twee but still heartwarming enough. Soundtrack is pretty good and I wish there were albums’ worth of Munchausen By Proxy music I could listen to

This is a real return to form! Full of Abram-isms, it’s like watching Fringe but with more action. Excellent stuff.

I love that the vault would have all the most sophisticated sensors in the world but stops short of having a camera for the guard outside to watch. Overall it was very fun!

Honestly a really enjoyable 90 minute movie

Pure absurdist hilarity. Any film that makes me cry with laughter gets five stars.

Quite a long way better than I anticipated. Budget must’ve been blown to bits on the spaceship

Well that’s one way to explore grief I suppose..

If I’d have known more about why the movie was made going in, it would’ve made so much more sense. I thought it was madly dry with some atrocious dialogue. Still, fun and original.

Some really nice cinematography here. Good old bit of bleakness, nobody gets to be happy.

Even without an ending that hilarious, this is a truly outstanding film. The entire cast acts the socks off it. The way it’s shot is really engaging and frantic. That ending, though, is something else

Blockbusters just don’t get better than this. Unbelievable practical effects (the alien’s face opening in the morgue?!) and impeccable acting (Edgar). I’d watch it every day if I could

Felt a little half-baked in the concepts but I liked the story.

A bit paint-by-numbers but a good bit of fun

Just a lovely story with relentless comic relief. Was an excellent watch.

Top stuff. Really well shot with the camcorders. Loved it

Pleasant. A little brand-heavy in places. There is no way there’s a Papa John’s in Iceland. Certainly tried very hard to be inspirational but I think maybe it falls a little flat. The Benjamin Button bit is outstanding though.

Made me laugh a few times with the catchphrases and some absurdity. Maybe a little convoluted for me, though. As ever with Wes’ films, set design is immaculate

Creepy throughout, found it be very gripping despite its runtime. Florence can’t do wrong, she’s brilliant in this.

Some pretty expensive looking shots of rockets and a couple of laughs. A good film

Just relentless silly deaths. Cheeks hurt from laughing when I left the cinema. The opening scene was immaculate. I would’ve liked the whole film in that setting but great fun regardless.

This movie had me wondering if I was losing my mind. Properly surreal and strange. I’m loving how much Nick Cage throws himself at roles like this

What wasn’t this film?

Mrs Danvers is gonna haunt me

Can’t believe I’d not watched this until now. Everything comes together here to make a story about an evil car make sense. Some unbelievable practical effects work throughout, had me gobsmacked. Loved it!

This is some good sci-fi. Full of all the touches of “the future” that seemed wild at release (watches with screens in them?!) as well as showing me the cars in I, Robot were ripped from this film. I want to call out the sound design too, because it …

I was picked up and taken for a ride watching this movie. Immaculate. I am yet to see Frances McDormand in a role I am not blown away by, so so good.

Laughed a lot. This is a proper popcorn movie

Hilarious whilst balancing tension. Unique in its storytelling and I enjoyed the lot. Some comically bad punching but also a banging old Citroen ZX

A really bleak tale. A lot of story told through silence. Can see how this led into future Sean Baker movies

My heart rate went over 100bpm watching this. You’ll know the ending that’s coming the whole time but it takes you on a rollercoaster to get there.

So much funnier than I was anticipating. RPat screaming at himself was hilarious. Ruffalo and Collette were great every time they were on screen. Shoutout to the set design too, really well done.

PamAn and Dave Bautista are immense in this. A tale of people forced to change by the relentlessness of Las Vegas. Has similar themes to The Substance. A great watch

Steers awfully close to Scary Movie levels of absurdity at points. Good fun to watch something so unserious!

How can a movie be hilarious and bleak simultaneously?

A tale about loneliness. Gosling as ever was brilliant in this. Can see why he got the Oscar nod

This short film walked so The Substance could run

This is a really gripping film. With the premise being what it is, I was expecting a bit of a snooze-fest but was pleasantly surprised. Plenty of intrigue and drama coupled with marvellous acting all round.

So many hilarious moments. The close cut to a body double for Adam Scott revealing the abs will never not be funny

Cage² in a meta marvel. What a crazy piece of filmmaking.

This film is so complete! The whole spectrum of emotion. Wonderful acting especially from the kids.

What monumental acting in this film, complete masterclass. Not sure I’ve ever seen so much storytelling achieved in complete silence either. My first Mike Leigh film and I doubt my last.

I watched this without knowing it was a Martin McDonagh movie. It made perfect sense to me why I loved it so much after finding that out.

Super long but less dry than I thought it would be. Brody is ridiculously good. Ultimately if you’re going  3+ hours I want more payoff than we really got

I counted more than five people leave the cinema during this. Talk about flight risk

Always say thank you to chatGPT

Shot so inventively and a story told eloquently. Great film

Getting Culkin in was an inspired choice. Great film, nice emotional plot with comic relief throughout.

My second favourite Nick Hault vampire film

Nice little tearjerker to start 2025. Doesn’t take anything to the traumatic places it could’ve which is definitely for the better. Some excellent comic relief and I think the non-linear story shines.

How I feel if I use the calm app in the morning. In all seriousness though this is a beautiful film that reminds you to find the beauty in the everyday. This film is one of those that makes you see the world differently when it ends. For me, that’s …

Getting lost in this film was an absolute delight

Now I have a machine gun

Watched the 4K restoration of this and it was immaculate. Every single shot had the creepiness dialled up to 11. What a film

Really enjoyable documentary that at times felt very obviously scripted. Shoutout to ParTeb for bringing the vibes.

Gripping film that’s acted brilliantly. Music is great too

What a beautifully shot movie this is. I found it was paced perfectly and the acting was outstanding.

Really enjoyed this. Sits really well with the original

Wild bit of parody watched on a hotel TV late at night. Some hilarious moments. I LOVED YOU IN WALL STREET

Slow motion shots of waves breaking all over the show. Great action movie, everything you want is here.

Felt so desperately sorry for Bill throughout the whole film. Beautifully shot and really well executed. Terrifying nuns throughout

Hugh’s great in this. The plot was perhaps a little contrived but I enjoyed the movie regardless

Very well acted and well shot movie. I understand the timeline flitting would’ve been a creative decision but was a bit much for me.  Overall I enjoyed it, worth a watch. Difficult to watch with a pint

Never has a film overwhelmed me quite like this. Was sat in the car for ages after leaving the cinema just trying to come back down to earth. This feels like an instant classic

I think I just watched a two hour perfume ad

Bad Trip Simulator 1968

How any of that was created with the methods available at the time blows my mind

This is cinema everyone! The stop motion robot clumsily chasing Sarah is as good as it gets

Full of drama, super intense and a lot of fun. I spent literally every tornado scene searching for a cow. Cinema was packed. Is this the film of the summer?

No better than three. A shame because I was very excited for this one. Felt like it should’ve been an 18 with more gore. Definitely had the looks on its side, this was a delightfully shot movie

Three very distinct acts make this really fun. Loved the whole movie. Was expecting cannibalism, I’ve gotta say

Spent a lot of this movie baffled but really enjoyed the absurdity. The anthology style is excellent. Good film

A fairly easy watch for a tired Tuesday night

Unlocked a whole new set of fears for my cat

Everything about this film is spot on. All the way down to the closing credits. Special effects completely hold up. Excellent film

It’s a bit all over the place but I enjoyed it. Groundhog Day in the multiverse

Good action and good storytelling. I enjoyed it a lot. Definitely rewatching this at some point

Love how completely unnecessary Shia LaBeouf’s character is in this movie

I thought this was a pretty fun popcorn movie. References galore and some snazzy expensive looking stunts

That zoom onto Scheider when he realises it’s a shark is perfection. Everything about this is perfection

Under 90 mins ✅
Scarf around a wound so you don’t have to pay for special effects ✅
Presumably funded by an obsolete technology company ✅

This film has it all

Sega will redesign half of Crazy Taxi to take out a Pizza Hut and these guys won’t even dub a new song over Lostprophets?

You throw a shot driving through the desert in a movie and I’m going to stay invested. This film rocked

I remember the CGI looking an awful lot better than this

Well all that build up in the first film wasn’t for nothing. Watched in IMAX and was blown away by the soundscaping in this film

The balance of comedy and suspense here is just perfect. Marvellously made

Gritty Barbie

I can totally see this as related to The Worst Person In The World. It felt similarly made. An enjoyable watch

Is this one of the truly saddest films of all time? Quite possibly. A swirling tale of loneliness. Brilliantly made.

¿Que necesito empacar para mi viaje a Chile? Lo sé, ¡solo cigarrillos!

People sure did smoke in the 70s. Harrowing film though, wonderfully told and an incredible feat of survival.

The book was a really great read but this movie has made a couple of pretty weird changes that killed it for me. We had a lot of fun with spinning cameras too

I cringed a lot watching this film. The sheer creepiness of it was hard to take. I felt incredibly sorry for Priscilla. Groomed and prepared for a life before she really even knew who she was.

First movie of the year. Ultimate ‘bro’ comedy. I don’t know what to do with my hands

And the award for best acting from an animal goes to:

Lily Gladstone is unbelievable in this film. Leo is incredible in this film. Everyone is! You see the phrase ‘instant classic’ thrown around a lot but this one really deserves it.
