WTAF. I did not expect to bawl my eyes out like that!
Absolutely stunning, amazing, splendiferous stuff! I am as “musically-neutral” as they come, and this blew me away. I did not expect to enjoy it THIS much, as it was exactly the crowd-pleasing big blockbuster production that I was in the mood for AND more. John M. Chu has done…

🐈⬛🌛💫 A Spooktober Intermission 💫🌛🐈⬛
Anora is something special, and I don’t say that lightly at all.
I had the honour of seeing Anora at BFI LFF 2024 (British Film Institute’s London Film Festival). It was a magical movie to experience in a packed theatre. It made all the rushes of emotions and laughs we shared together, all the more intense. The lively atmosphere made it a memorable experience. Well, that and the culture shock I got when everybody clapped as…

Xmas Hard
Alas, we’ve come to the end of my Frostmas challenge. Find my ranking of all 12 festive watches here! 🎁🎄
A pretty enjoyable action-thriller, with a smidge of a Christmas spin! AKA, it’s set on Christmas Eve and there’s red ribbon. There were some nail-biting scenes, like the tension was THERE.
My whole family was hooked on this, so much so that my dad watched at least 75% of it. Carry-On…

Peeping Jeffers 👀
Coincidentally, @𝓙 watched Rear Window in the same week as I did! She’s written a fantastic review, which you can read here.
And I’ve started a new ✨Hitchcock✨ ranking list here!
This Hitchcock classic is essentially a masterclass in tension and perspective. It’s practically flawless on all technical levels, and each shot is purposeful, rich in detail. Again, Rear Window shows why technicolour is superior; it is as gorgeous to look at as…
