Sonic the Hedgehog 3 2024

★★½ Watched 05 Jan 2025

By far the strongest of the series but that’s not really saying much when the only one giving any effort is Carrey, some of his jokes killed me
McCabe & Mrs. Miller 1971

★★★½ Watched 05 Jan 2025

The Criterion Challenge 2025:
3. Directed by Robert Altman
Incredibly important coat cinema. Didn’t love this as much as The Player and admittedly I was very distracted/tired while watching but it’s offensive how good this looks. Bleeding out in the snow would be so cool to do as a dude
Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl 2024

★★★★ Watched 03 Jan 2025

Best third act chase sequence I’ve seen in ages??

Character assassination: the movie
If there’s Dumb Bitch Juice around, Carrie’s gonna sip it!
Nosferatu 2024

★★★½ Watched 01 Jan 2025

Dare I say it… it’s nowhere near horny enough?
Spent the entire runtime terrified that something bad would happen to the cat and I was so relieved she made it out unscathed.
The Northman 2022

★★★★½ Rewatched 31 Dec 2024 2

Features some of the coolest shit I’ve ever seen dudes do in a film, sometimes you just gotta avenge father, save mother and kill Fjölnir.
The Lighthouse 2019

★★★★★ Rewatched 30 Dec 2024

Despite owning the gorgeous Arrow box set, this was actually my first time rewatching since cinemas because I was terrified it wouldn’t hold up. Thank goodness it did!
Better Man 2024

★★★★ Watched 29 Dec 2024

So many thoughts. For about an hour of this I was pissed that my best of 2024 list was going to get shaken up with only two days left of the year, but sadly those musical biopic tropes really kicked in for the last 15 minutes and undid some goodwill for me. It’s a shame because despite how by-the-numbers the whole affair is, it’s mostly played with such cleverness and charisma that I found myself not caring that I’d seen…
Mufasa: The Lion King 2024

Watched 28 Dec 2024

Saw about 3 minutes because the theatre messed up and played this instead of Better Man. No music or dialogue were playing, which is a really interesting creative choice from Jenkins. In the end the theatre couldn’t get Better Man to work, but this is now the second time a theatre has accidentally subjected me to a Disney film (2019 Aladdin) instead of the musical biopic I was intending to see (Rocketman). The theatre also switched what screens the films were playing on, so does this mean I’ve technically contributed to Mufasa’s box office?
The Order 2024

★★★★ Watched 28 Dec 2024

Nicholas Hoult playing a piece of shit again… oh Skins nation we are so back
