• The Brutalist

    The Brutalist

    ★★★★½

    Same thing happened to me when I stayed 2 weeks in a resort in Mallorca rather than 1 week. 

    Didn’t even have Felicity Jones to come help me out.

  • Conclave

    Conclave

    ★★★★½

    I’m here sitting at home and I would have no idea that there’s a group of grown men having a cunt off to see who becomes Pope.

    Aside from that, there’s not a bone in my body that doesn’t want Conclave winning Best Picture. If Anora fumbles the bag, let the second most cunty film win. It’s only fair lads.

  • The Gorge

    The Gorge

    ★★★

    The Gorge was fine. It was fine! 

    Both Miles Teller and Anya Taylor Joy save The Gorge from being a cheesy, overlonged mess with their chemistry and performances respectively. However, I just can’t get behind the pacing and tone of this movie. Certainly 20 minutes too long and cannot get a foothold in its tone whatsoever. An action, a romance, a thriller- and none of it really works at all. Aside from an interesting third act and some pretty solid…

    who the fuck is wicked and why are they thrusting upon me 

  • One of Them Days

    One of Them Days

    ★★★½

    Thank god someone down at Sony still has Hollywood comedies on my radar. 
    So refreshing seeing a buddy comedy that’s actually funny and doesn’t feel forced, made for streaming or like it’s trying to do too much to be as iconic as it is. 

    Keke Palmer and SZA shine in this buddy comedy for the ages as it’s comforting atmosphere and quick 90-minute runtime coupled with R-rated humour makes me truly believe we are back with good January movies and good studio comedy movies. 

    Church’s chicken, anyone?

  • The Substance

    The Substance

    ★★★★½

    I honestly don’t care if you’re rapidly aging, going insane or whatever… 

    if you’re out here making blood sausage and apples, get the fuck out of here. does the substance make patients lose their sense of taste as well, god damn. 

    Demi Moore having to stomach even the image of blood sausage should win her the Oscar. Unless there’s some uncut version of Anora I don’t know about.

  • The Monkey

    The Monkey

    ★★★★

    You know what, I just don’t think there’s enough monkey movies out right now. 

    The Monkey, Osgood’s Perkins sophomore Neon feature, was certainly one on my watchlist after its guerrilla (no pun intended) marketing and its stellar ensemble of attached names from James Wan to Theo James made me instantly excited for it. And I have to say, what a fucking film man. 


    The Monkey drums its way into triumph as a fantastic horror comedy that made me wince as…

  • Nickel Boys

    Nickel Boys

    ★★★★

    How this is not one of the frontrunners for Best Picture is baffling to me. 

    Although I couldn’t connect with this the way that others have, Nickel Boys is aesthetically stunning with Ross’ sensational direction painting a picture with every performance and shot. 

    Certainly rooting for this next week.

  • Emilia Pérez

    Emilia Pérez

    ★★½

    I mean, as a movie, it really isn’t terrible. It’s not awful and despite it has gone down in my rating, I still did quite enjoy it from time to time and it weren’t too shabby aesthetically. 

    As a 13 time Oscar nominated , Golden Globe winner, BAFTA winner and Critics Choice Winner, what the fuck is this shit. We can’t be doing this lads. Come on.

  • Anora

    Anora

    ★★★★★

    In this year’s category for Best Supporting Actor, we’ve seen actors go on monologues and scene-stretching pieces talking about dogs biting hands, seesaws and teaspoons, balls and pain. 

    With Yura Borisov…toosh. It’s just toosh. 
    Man I love him. 

    My pick for Best Picture so far.

  • Memoir of a Snail

    Memoir of a Snail

    ★★★★½

    Bugger…


    never thought an r-rated animated movie would chew me up and spit me right out, in fairness the only r-rated animated films I’ve seen prior have been Sausage Party and South Park so. 

    An incredibly hard hitting tragicomedy with exquisite emotional weight on grief, remembrance, self-loathing and human imperfections. Some terrific animation coupled with dark but heartfelt story beats and dialogue makes this Australian odyssey of austerity a deeply heartfelt and meaningful watch.


    Batting with this and Wallace and Gromit for Best Animated Feature in my eyes.
