| 85 79% | The Color Purple (1985) - Rated 28 Jan 2024
"The tonal shifts from trauma to comedy were a little jarring. Overall very well done with compelling characters."

| 50 5% | American Made (2017) - Rated 26 Nov 2023
"Hack writing. Historically inaccurate and trope-filled farce whose comedic elements don’t hit."
|
| 90 93% | Birdman (2014) - Rated 19 Nov 2022
"Technically brilliant one shot style movie with just enough magic realism to make it work. The acting is fantastic and the script crackles with humor as well as strong dramatic moments. On the negative side, I don’t think the ambiguity of the ending worked in this film. I have seen ambiguous endings work in a number of other films, but in this particular instance it falls flat."

| 73 39% | The Takeover (2022) - Rated 18 Nov 2022
"Passable and predictable cyber thriller. Completely unremarkable, but it managed to keep me engaged."
|
| 80 63% | Avatar (2009) - Rated 18 Nov 2022
"I watched this in Oculus 3D and it is visually stunning. This is an incredible adventure and a joy to watch. It’s villains are over the top and “message” is a little ham-fisted, but the world is immersive enough to overlook that."

| 80 63% | Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022) - Rated 17 Nov 2022
"A strong entry in the MCU canon. Acting, sets, visuals, music all on point to transport you to a world like our own except with with underwater people and the nation of Wakanda."

| 80 63% | Dan in Real Life (2007) - Rated 13 Nov 2022
"If you were expecting something silly like The 40 Year Old Virgin, change your expectations. This a is a much more grounded rom-com where the leads try to navigate an awkward situation. The acting and comedy here is much more subtle. I laughed, I felt for these characters , and enjoyed the experience."

| 83 73% | The Incredibles 2 (2018) - Rated 05 Nov 2022
"Fun and funny animated film that looks stunning in 3D on my VR headset."
|
| 86 83% | Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) - Rated 05 Nov 2022
"I saw this in 3D on my Quest and it is visually stunning. The movie pulls in multiple heroes and villains without ever feeling bloated. The film captures the elements that made the comic book so popular. Peak superhero genre film."
|
| 78 54% | The Batman (2022) - Rated 04 Nov 2022
"Overly long, slightly convoluted storyline that tries to jam in too many plot points. The director should have focused more simply on the dichotomy between The Riddler and The Batman. The acting , atmosphere, action scenes, dialogue and character interactions were all very good. Overall, solid film that could have used some trimming."
