what an enjoyable watch.Will smiths performance that rescues his career back to a top form performance and loved to see Jon Bernthal in this.As an enthusiast of the sport it’s an amazing watch and the fact that Richard had the boldness to say everything and then for it to become true it’s all just a breathtaking story the Williams Sisters are one of a kind.What a film the soundtrack was very strong and along with the editing style fits the film perfectly it didn’t really lack anything to much I would’ve just liked a bit more in detail dialogue scenes and better cinematography but other than it’s a great film.

Classic British gangster flick with a British comedic aspect paired with a great soundtrack.

Great film I’m so fascinated by all of the scene in Manchester in the 80s-90s especially because of the music scene and having connections close to it so this was a great watch for me.The narration style from Tony Wilson throughout the film is great and Steve Coogan portrays him very well great performance as well as the other standout performance Paddy Constantine.The direct addressing to the camera and narration style really works with this because it’s Tony Wilson just looking back at all the times and almost trying to portray it as a documentary on the Manchester scene at times and even the reference to William Blake.I must say at times where you look at it as a film critic’s perspective it did lack a lot of a more professional look and approach but I did really enjoy it and such a fascinating watch along with a beautiful soundtrack which was expected.

"Punk was one of those great musical revolutions that comes along every other generation" and "I've never paid for private health-care because I'm a socialist"

Fucking tragic shit.
Zac Efron well done unreal performance.

There’s some good moments in this film but the majority of it is just dreadful I mean the core ideas behind the film I can really interact with but the way they have been portrayed on screen is just terrible.Other than Barry Keogh the performances are great especially Richard.E.Grant.I really like some of the little subtle touches that show the power of greed and wealth and also the way Oliver gets treated like he’s not meant to be there the awkward welcoming.The main issue is it’s just a director who’s trying to be niche and also contrast wealth and greed but it all doesn’t work together you can’t have a sexual genre contrasting with trying to show differences of classes and greed it just doesn’t work at all this films trying to much and it’s trying to be different it’s also just uncomfortable we know that Oliver is obsessed you don’t need to show it like that.

Childhood blast from the past.

Michael Cera plays himself and I loved it.
So happy to see a wes Anderson film in cinemas,once again a visual masterpiece and filled with amazing performances such a stacked cast and that basketball scene was brilliant Bryan Cranston and Tom hanks what a duo don’t mind if I do.Brilliantly written from the partners in crime Coppola and Anderson’s writing duo partnership.I was worried this might of been Anderson’s first bad film but no this is ace.For Wes Anderson to still be making films like this is just brilliant once again another masterpiece the costume design is always great and I feel like Michael Cera is just wearing Wes’s outfits in this with the corduroy blazer so slick how can’t you dislike Anderson as a director writer he’s that guy.I found this film to be my most comedic experience with wes and I don’t know why it all just works this is one of my favourites I’ve seen from him.

Potential-an ability the person has not yet developed.
This is a beautiful film.

Kaufman the man you are.
I’ve never seen a Kaufman film without researching it once I’ve watched it I believe he’s one of the best screenwriters of all time and this is just another one of his masterpieces.The final scene is brilliant and I love the narration throughout the whole film great watch now I’m going to continuously watch YouTube dissections of this film.Just everything Kaufman is just mentally insane in the best possible way he tries to adapt a successful book into a film but struggles so just writes a film about himself struggling to adapt the book(the orchard thief) whilst Kaufman eventually adapts the book slightly for the real film it’s all an adventure as every Kaufman film is in just find it so bold for Kaufman being a struggling writer at the time of writing this film so he wrote it about his struggles of writing a film so talented and a incredible film you’ll never see a film like this again unbelievable and spike Jonze is just great Jonze and Kaufmans connection is so good Jonze is such an interesting and great director went from filming skate vids to 5 years later directing adaptation and being John Malkovich.Cage is one of those actors who either over dramatically acts where you had hate the performance but this performance is great and so is Streeps it’s an overall perfect film so interesting.

So many enjoyable sequences and so many boring and dated sequences.The context behind the story is great and portrayed well and must of been a powerful film to watch in the era of 1955.James Dean has a great performance,I really enjoyed the opening scene and the overall film was enjoyable I just don’t think it’s aged to well looking at the pacing side of the film there was lots of sequences that felt very slow and repetitive but other than that a entertaining one to watch.

I’m blown away at this script some of the best writing I’ve experienced the characters,the ups the downs the surprising story it’s just amazing.The ending is just full of emotion the way Gerwig directs you through this beautiful romance story from start to finish developing the characters is so perfect and there’s some really shocking moments and you get so gripped to the story thanks to the amazing screenplay,original story and the outstanding performances from the stacked cast including the amazing performances from Pugh,Chalamet and especially Saoirse Ronan she really immerses herself into the role of Joe March I really enjoyed this the full experience is so impactful and the dialogue the story and even the framing of the simplistic stunning cinematography it’s all just great such a good watch and is an emotional experience.

Great story for a short film just could of been executed better.

“No you call him doctor Jones”Short round is so funny and wholesome in this young Ke Huy Quan is so cute.as usual with a Jones film it’s fun entertaining and comedic I always believed that the jones films were some of Spielberg's best work especially from a cinematic perspective.Harrison Ford is just great I mean the jones films are just awesome the Lucas,Ford and Spielberg era really was something.I mean the action packed adventurous storyline never changes to much but with the temple of doom I just don’t get into it as much but still great watch.(Harrison Ford looks so good in a tweed suit).

I was struggling to decide what to watch so I thought it’s time to rewatch one of my favourite films challengers it’s so good on a rewatch the great details you pick up on is so good and when you begin to watch bts on YouTube this film is just something and the editing and structure is perfect such a good watch and one of the best scores of the decade.

So enjoyable and a great look into the culture of the 70s America the story is so fun and well structured and it has an unbelievable soundtrack loved it the last 30 minutes were so entertaining.The characters were all great and the casting was so good especially for Charles Martin smith and Richard Dreyfuss so funny in this great dialogue great acting just a great watch so entertaining and enjoyable.

The worst Ritchie film I’ve seen yet not a fan.

This masterpiece starts of with great equilibrium really setting the scene for the ending the way the full film flows is great and to add the cast into it all wow,Sir Ben Kingsley,Freeman,Willis,Lucy Liu and a brilliant performance from a young Josh Hartnett all great performances.One of the best written films I’ve seen in this sort of clever action style of genre the structure is unbelievable the directing was just alright enough and the overall film kept me interested with the characters I really enjoyed this film.Its filled with great action,a great depth of dialogue which is fairly comedic on Josh Hartnett’s character(Slevin) and a unbelievable cast and even a feature of the stunning watch a IWC Aqua timer what more do you want.I couldn’t recommend more great film.

Once again I really couldn’t grasp onto Luhrmann directing style at all really not a fan but I have to praise him for the screenplay I did find this film very entertaining and I enjoyed it it’s a shame the film has an unbelievable cast but they all produce c tier performances other than Tobey Maguire I really enjoyed his role.I understand that the story is a fast paced story but the way that Luhrmann decided to direct with it all the over exaggerated scenes I couldn’t enjoy to much and cringey romance scenes with the repetitive Lana Del Ray song I couldn’t latch onto it at all but other than that I found this film surprisingly enjoyable miles better than Romeo and Juliet you can see the similarities a lot within Luhrmann  style. A good enjoyable watch.

Only positive is the actual script and there being two Radiohead songs other than that not a fan of this film at all couldn’t enjoy it at all and the over exaggerated style of directing I hated really didn’t enjoy this.

Great watch again Soderberg is so fun this film is structured so well with the strange flashbacks and camcorder camerawork at vital moments really enjoyed this such a fun film.

Not a bad film at all but really not my sort of film.

Boring basic and lacks everything didn’t enjoy it at all.Clooney plays a dry role and the screenplay is awful really wasn’t a fan of this.

Bong Joon Ho playing around with pathetic political figures,social classes and the fucked up future and he makes it so fun similar to Parasite we see him have a strong contrast in a social class but much less in Mickey 17 and focuses more on the worrying future and how power is so dangerous but he does it whilst having a blast.Mark Ruffalos performance is unbelievable so perfect I’ve seen a lot of controversy over his role but I think he nailed it and his character reminds me of Trump mixed with Musk and it’s hilarious there’s lots of humour in this film and paired with all the great performances it works so well Patterson with once again a great performance,Collete with an engaging awkward performance that really works and a stand out performance was Naomi Ackie was really great to see Tim key who is so funny and Thomas Turgoose.There’s so much to take in with a Bong Joon Ho  film all the impactful issues that he seems to work into his films I love it.The
cinematography is unbelievable  it  is made up from all the fantastic set design costume design colour grade framing the lot it all worked so well and made the film look brilliant.The film being narrated really helped the development and I felt like it was a great choice I mean it just added to the wonderful futuristic cinematic experience of Mickey 17 the lightning creates the perfect contrast of hybrid genre between trying to keep it realistic enough but also futuristic enough for the story I really enjoyed this and them shots coming out of the printer oooo so good I really hope to see this film get a few Oscar’s.Concept is unbelievable it’s all great so much fun.

The cinematography was a strong point but the writing really wasn’t my sort of thing and the film hasn’t aged well at all.

The full experience of this film is thrilling something that you don’t get with many films the way the character development makes you root for characters and have a strong sense of hatred and revenge towards others which results in a gripping watch.The cinematography is unbelievable and it’s not even all down the the use of camera work it’s more the composition and direction which is the setting of the scene the big open fields it looks amazing and to add to the cinematic universe you have this ongoing beautiful, impactful score which is brilliantly composed by John Barry the score really adds power to the film and definitely deserved the the Oscar for original score and this film was rightful to all the praise that it got from rewards at the time.It is Kevin Costner’s best work and for it to be his directorial debut and producing and starring in this 3 hour piece is an unbelievable achievement for Costner especially with how good it turned out and to come out with a Best picture win,best director win and best actor nomination is an outstanding effort.The adapted screenplay 100% deserved the Oscar as the screenplay is so good the way the story is portrayed on screen just makes the film flow.The only issue I found with this film is for the length of the film there wasn’t enough expression especially considering there’s a lack of dialogue for the 3 hour time length but other than that a great watch.

Great watch the awkward close ups were amazing and really create the atmosphere for the film and you see it throughout which makes the cinematography a lot more appealing.The set design is cool as you see some very popular furniture pieces.The film gives you that look on how bad drug addiction is and the realistic side of it e.g hallucination,insanity which is shown in a very similar way to Trainspotting but is a bit more over the top in filth.James McAvoy with an outstanding performance really plays this role so well and so does Eddie Marson.The style of how the film is written and portrayed gives you the sorrow feeling for but then as much as his excuses are there for defending his actions it’s all on him.It was all great until the last 20 minutes where the film feels to have to many conflicting moments in a small space of time  but then with last scene that’s where you forget about the last 15 minutes of nonsense you’ve watched and the film really brings back that sadness great watch.

Hilarious film that’s brilliantly written and directed once again the Coen brothers don’t disappoint me at all this is a great watch cinematography is brilliant the colours are just great it all works so well and matched with an outstanding cast with outstanding performances,Clooney,Malkovich,Pitt,McDormand paired with the Coen brothers what more do you want.Pitts character is great and the overall character development in this film is really good the structure is great the film just flows perfectly and has that perfect contrast of comedy and drama the simple costume design comes of so aesthetically pleasing.Such a cool film and Pitts character(Chad) is probably one of my favourite characters I’ve seen for awhile overall this film is just so fun,quirky and cool.

Wow what a performance from Val Kilmer we have lost one of the greats and it’s a shame he didn’t play a lot more bigger roles and this is one of the best performances I’ve seen from him and also brilliant performance from Kyle MacLachlan.A very interesting watch and I always thoroughly enjoy a biopic especially if it’s on a group a listen to like the doors,I was so fascinated watching this at Jim Morrisons life I mean if he didn’t die young I could be writing a review on a film he wrote he was such a talented artist varying from his literature work to his views and his meticulous music work one of the best songwriters of all time and it’s such a a shame to see a talent die so soon.The film is portrayed in a way where you feel sorry for everyone around Jim and especially the band but you also feel sorry for Jim and how he could of been so much more.The films soundtrack is great and I love the feature of Andy Warhol.Oliver Stone had a very unique take on this as a director and I must say I didn’t enjoy the directing of the film and in an artistic and structured view I didn’t think the film was anything special but I will praise Stone for the dialogue and references and also the way the films trippy feel is created really engages the audience making us feel more part of the dream like experience.Overall it’s a fascinating film and enjoyable.

Not a bad film at all very interesting but I must say the structure isn’t enjoyable for me at all and I hate the way the film is edited makes it feel so sloppy.Bale with a great performance as usual and Strong has a good performance shame he’s not got more screen time.I can find McKay’s work can often be enjoyable but this really wasn’t it was a mess but the true story behind it all was keeping me interested to continue watching and the acting was pretty good.I found the idea of having the film to be narrated was a terrible choice and hated the way that the character would pause out of the scene to directly address the audience on what’s currently happening they wouldn’t need to do that if they structured the story better.Overall nothing special but an interesting watch.

Childhood film for me loved it rest in peace one of the greats val Kilmer.

Tough watch if you’ve got a bad memory.
Overall hated this film so overdone and found it all a bit pathetic.

Great watch that perfect between of a dark comedy and horror.This film was so ahead of its time the make up was unbelievable mind blowing to think it was in 1981.The cinematography is very strong the unique werewolf POV shots were so good very creative.The London Underground scene was brilliantly executed as the rest of the film but the London Underground scene is one of my favourite scenes I’ve ever seen just so enjoyable and the use of cinematography was great.The editing was so slick and use of creative quick cuts and the funny style of editing to create that dark comedy feel even more this film just really reminds me of Edgar Wright’s work in that dark comedy horror aspect.The opening sequence so simple but so enjoyable the dialogue is great and amusing.I mean on a whole I think this film is a masterpiece so ahead of its time and a brilliantly written film great watch.

Anora definitely shouldn’t have been my introduction to Sean Bakers work.
But what a talent he is the cinematography and concept of this film is unbelievable.Mikey Madison 100 percent deserved the Oscar.I really enjoyed this film but I was definitely disappointed in the overall structure of the film I thought the structure was terrible the film felt all over the place for me it had no flow.The performances are unbelievable With Mikey Madisons performance being one of my stand out favourites of the year,I do love the side of indie film making which is why I’m happy with this film I mean it’s not a big cast and all the performances are great with Yura Borisov with an incredible performance.The character development on a whole was fantastic and i absolutely love Igor such a simple character but ends up having a really big impact.The last 45 minutes were incredible perfect cinema and the dialogue throughout is great but I was just really let down by the structure but still overall a great enjoyable watch.
