    Mean Streets, 1973 - ★★★★

    The soundtrack of this film SLAPS

    The Creator, 2023 - ★★★

    Original sci-fi is great, I’m here for that. This is, however, just 9/11 with robots

    ...
    BlackBerry, 2023 - ★★★½

    Jay Baruchel and Glenn Howerton are great in this. I’ll be pitching movie night to my work next week. Seems that good shit happens while that’s still around

    ...
    Dead Poets Society, 1989 - ★★★★

    We’re all just food for worms

    Took a trip to an outdoor cinema in Greece a couple of weeks ago. Gutted it’s not something that’s particularly feasible at home! Popcorn and beer were cheap too 🍿

    bird.makeup is an invaluable resource for migrating away from the birdsite. Can get the accounts I don’t want to leave behind right into the micro.blog feed. Winner

    I’m back again! Missed having a blog. Determined to make this work this time. Does anyone have any tips for using micro.blog as their online home?

    Past Lives, 2023 - ★★★★★

    This film is just beautiful. One of those movies that makes you see everything differently when you leave the cinema.

    ...
    Oppenheimer, 2023 - ★★★★

    Hard to describe this film. It is visually incredible and the cast is insane. Not sure where it leaves me on Oppenheimer as a person.

    Hot Fuzz, 2007 - ★★★★★

    Everyone and his mum’s packing round here

    Beau Is Afraid, 2023 - ★★★½

    What the fuck

    ...
    Little Miss Sunshine, 2006 - ★★★★

    I really thought the acting in this was phenomenal. Reminded me of the Always Sunny pageant episode, which I’m guessing took a tiny bit of inspiration from this perhaps

    ...
    Missing, 2023 - ★★★½

    This film had me gesturing violently at the screen a few times. Gripping and the unique way of telling the story was fun too.

    ...
    Layer Cake, 2004 - ★★★

    Dumbledore said a swear word

    ...
    Renfield, 2023 - ★★★★

    A self-aware movie that’s hilarious from the start to end. The CGI blood budget must’ve been huge

    ...
    TÁR, 2022 - ★★★

    Artistically this film is spot on. It looks great, sounds great, and the acting from Cate Blanchett is crazy good. Still, felt a bit long for me. Cheers for front-loading the credits though because I was a couple of minutes late arriving

    ...
    Another Round, 2020 - ★★★★

    I had a quick check at how much a breathalyser would cost at the end of this film. Not sure I took the right message

    The Menu, 2022 - ★★★★

    Get someone who looks at you like chef looks at those burgers cooking

    ...

    Had the cinema to myself last week. This Odeon in Manchester has the AMC colours still, which I think makes it a bit unique. It’s also very tired but weirdly that adds a degree of charm to the place. Long live Great Northern Odeon 🍿

    ...
    Plane, 2023 - ★★★

    You don’t need to watch this film to know what’s going to happen. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, though. Plane was an enjoyable film to watch on the big screen, for sure

    ...
    Knock at the Cabin, 2023 - ★★★½

    Shyamalan has the most hilarious cameo in this film. It’s a good thriller but I think the ‘twist’ (wasn’t much of one) was a bit loose for my liking.

    ...

    White out conditions in Val d’Isere last week.. I’m slowly adjusting to being home but it’s not happening quickly ❄️

    ...

    Had a pretty monumental week away skiing in Val d’Isere. The snow really came in for us on the Tuesday, definitely the best powder I’ve ever been in. Drank my body weight in wine, ate the same in cheese. A trip everyone should try and do …

    The Fabelmans, 2022 - ★★★½

    All round a not-so-bad film. Chuckled at the quick horizon shift at the end. A nice telling of the story of the man so often behind the camera
