Bio: My film rating scale: if it's over 80--it's a damned good movie; if it's between 80-70 it's either notably flawed or one of those 'different strokes for different folks' movies; if it's between 70-60 it's still enjoyable and/or has some artistic merit; if it's below 50 it's inexcusable, utter crap.

Civil War (2024) - Rated 26 Oct 2024
"Nice to see Garland return to form. After experimenting with film convention subversions that always felt muddled, this mostly-by-the-numbers war thriller feels more like 28 Days Later than anything Garland has done in a while. And that's very much a good a thing. The acting is immersive, the action taut and well-paced, and the set pieces have just enough complexity to make this stand out from the usual action dross. A very fine film. Reminscent of The Last of Us in the best of ways."
