    Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga

    ★★★★½

    This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

    Saw this on my birthday with one of my closest friends at one of my favourite cinemas!

    The film is set before the events of Fury Road and follows a young Furiosa (Played by Anya Taylor-Joy and Alyla Browne) as she seeks revenge against the crazed warlord leader Dementus (Chris Hemsworth).

    Set in a postapocalyptic Australia, Furiosa is an epic and brutal tale of revenge that constantly wrong foots the audience narratively. The story, though a little slow, is brilliantly…

    Halloween Ends

    ★★★½

    This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

    Day 20 of JDsSpookypalooza2022 and the film today is Halloween Ends. I’ve found this latest trilogy of Halloween films to be a mixed bag as I enjoyed the first one a lot but found the second to be filler. While the reviews to this have certainly been mixed to negative, I was keeping an open mind because the trailers look pretty solid, and I was excited to see how it would end.

    The film takes place a few years after…

    Sweet Smell of Success

    ★★★★

    This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

    Was going through Prime trying to find something to watch and saw this was on here!

    The film follows Sidney Falco (Tony Curtis), a new press agent, as he reluctantly agrees to help the powerful journalist J.J. Hunsecker (Burt Lancaster) to ruin his sister’s (Susan Harrison) relationship with a man Hunsecker disapproves of.

    It is a little predictable but Sweet Smell of Success is a compelling look at corruption, abuse of power and ethics in journalism. The writing is great,…

    Scream

    ★★★★½

    This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

    Been listening to The Chainsaw Girls Podcast and they were talking about 1996’s Scream and that got me in a mood to rewatch it!

    The film follows Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) as she is stalked by a sadistic murderer who enjoys horror films nearly one year after the murder of her mother.

    Scream is a classic of the horror genre and with good reason. The writing is fantastic, brilliantly commenting on the slasher genre while also delivering one of the…

    O Brother, Where Art Thou?

    ★★★★★

    "You can't swear at my fiance!" "Oh yeah? Well, you can't marry my wife!"

    Sometimes a film just hits right.

    Another Earth

    ★★★★★

    So, this is my favourite film but I don't think I've properly gone into why I love it so much. Because of this, I decided to rewatch it tonight and try to do a good enough review that explains why this is such an amazing film.

    On the eve of a discover of an Earth-like planet, Rhoda (Brit Marling) is out celebrating when she drunkenly crashes her car and kills two people. Four years later, Rhoda leaves prison and cross…
