"The biggest injustice the UK did to Greece after stealing and keeping the marbles (won't call them Elgin marbles after that pissant ty very much) and UK's hand in the recession. Derivative, unimaginative and just plain boring. Also, urgh, another bureacratic afterlife?!?!"

| 95 90% | I Saw the TV Glow (2024) - Rated 23 Aug 2024
"A queer masterpiece, a movie about being so deep in the closet that the only thing you can see is the barest hint of TV glow. Recommended to the Venn diagram of people who love David Lynch and Buffy the Vampire Slayer and who are queer (especially trans, since that's what this is about). Gorgeous and touching and heartbreaking."

| 87 61% | Alien: Romulus (2024) - Rated 18 Aug 2024
"Liked: the going back to survival horror in space bits, some of the callbacks, the tension, the way it was shot, the body horror aspects. The grimy feel of the world. Disliked: everything to do with lore of previous films, the actors were good, but too cute and sexy and young (mostly missing the gender fuckery of the OG). The CGI puppetting of a dead actor. (Urgh)"

| 95 90% | Moonstruck (1987) - Rated 13 Aug 2024
"I absolutely love this, it's a fucking weird and romantic movie, the very definition of 'they don't make them like this anymore', because nowadays everything is glossy and normative and utterly boring."

| 65 12% | Somewhere Quiet (2023) - Rated 12 Aug 2024
"Saw this back in February and I hardly remember what happened, honestly, so I will say it's not very memorable, but it looked pretty beautiful and had some interesting explorations of trauma."

| 77 30% | Longlegs (2024) - Rated 12 Aug 2024
"Really loved how the first part references those classic 90s serial killer movies (you know the ones) and then Nicolas Cage Nicolas Cages even harder than usual all over it. And I had fun! But it's shlocky, it's not Silence of the Lambs risen again."

| 3 0% | Freddy Got Fingered (2001) - Rated 21 Jul 2024
"No redeeming qualities whatsoever."

| 88 65% | The Road Warrior (1981) - Rated 21 Jul 2024
"Pretty awesome, though the 80s costumes felt grating to my eyes. It's kind of insane that they did all of those practical stunts before CGI! How even? Feral Kid 4Eva!"

| 85 50% | Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) - Rated 21 Jul 2024
"Really liked it, even if it felt like a more conventional story, somehow. It was thematically interesting and even if it suffered from prequel issues (I didn't need to know all of that!), it doesn't try to top Fury Road - what could - but sit with scenes and growth and emotion. And it's gorgeous!"

| 95 90% | Baby Reindeer (2024) - Rated 02 Jul 2024
"An amazing, painful, important story that is way to rarely told. This is a profoundly uncomfortable show about abuse, the festering of shame and torturous dynamics between wounded people. I had a hard time watching, but it was very worth it."
