Pretty much nothing is as comforting as this

How did so many talented people make something so boring

Watched on Saturday June 7, 2025.

The performances in this are superb character studies, and it’s a fascinating off-kilter plot, but it’s unique 68 act structure and whiplash politics mean it doesn’t ever settle into the great thing it could be

Watched on Friday May 30, 2025.

Wild that they remade this with Orlando Bloom

Remarkable how seriously a film that begins an ends with a ‘I’ve got your nose’ bit can take itself

First learn stand, then learn fly

Call me a panicky pessimist but personally I think if an evil ai intent on wiping out humanity has taken control of all but four of the worlds nuclear arsenals, that’s a Defcon 2 situation not a Defcon 3 situation

I always knew windows media player would be the death of us all

I too would do anything to avoid getting on the Paris metro

Really peaks in the opening twenty minutes and can’t quite maintain that level for the rest of the movie, meaning it’s an enjoyable but minor entry into the franchise. 

I forgot that Tom Hollander turned up as the prime minister, climbing the mountain of conflict and tying this universe into the Thick of it/In the loop universe

Watched on Saturday April 12, 2025.

Good vibes they never really finished it

More simple favours than a Paul Heyman promo but much less intriguing. No idea what the folks at Amazon are doing but it’s not good

I don’t agree with his anti women working policy but I do approve of his killing fascists policy

Solid as a rock. The Jeremy Renner stuff now feels like wasted energy after he didn’t inherit the franchise and I can’t the India section too well each time, but the Burj sequence rules and everything is coalescing into the recognisable franchise it would become

Remains my favourite Mission, just a pure shot of adrenaline with an amazing villain (the scene where he learns Ethan’s name alone is chilling) that makes you feel like you can run through a wall afterwards. I’ll never understand why Ethan uses the same name in the spy world and the real world though, would solve all his problems here to just have a codename

When I saw this at the cinema twenty (!) years ago I thought it was great that the whole thing had come together and finally a prequel matched up to old Star Wars. In the twenty years since the flaws have become more obvious to me (while a lot of people seem to have gone in the opposite direction) but it’s still a good time and a fine way to spend May the 4th

Maybe a bit too languid for its own good but Gene Hackman shouting about fairy tales and erect nipples is quite something

Delightful. Not a huge fan of the animation style but captures the vibe of Asterix pretty spot on. I wonder how much of my adult interest in history boils down to reading Asterix books as a kid

Pop culture moves so slowly now. This came out just four years after the first Mission Impossible and has the same screenwriter, yet it feels like it’s from an entirely different era. I know some of that is moving from Brian de Palma to John Woo but feels deeper than that. The first movie with its Usenet, channel tunnel and BT phone boxes could not feel more mid-90s, and this with Tom’s hair and sunglasses, The Matrix stuff, the Nu Metal of it all feels like it’s a completely different time. Compare that with Ghost Protocol and Rogue Nation which feel much less indicative of when they were made.

Anyway this is a bit boring in the middle but it’s worth it for the last half hour. Breaking all my rules to put it in the They said the title hall of fame

The thing that impresses me the most about this every time is how carefully every characters perspective is laid out without it holding our hand about it. In the aquarium-restaurant scene we understand that from Kittridge‘s perspective it’s obvious that Ethan is probably the mole he’s searching for and similarly Ethan’s wheels are turning about him. It’s even better in the reveal about Phelps (a scene that deeply scandalised my dad to whom the original series was beloved) where we can see Tom’s thoughts while hearing him go along with Phelps version of the story, a scene which I think I found completely baffling as a ten year old but now looks like one of the best scenes in 90s cinema

Pierce Brosnan plays a communist terrorist and Michael Caine punches a skinhead racist on the tube - delightful.

A director with vision? actors with chemistry? A knockout soundtrack? We’ve never been so back

Feels increasingly like a harbinger of doom but also some good jokes

I can’t believe how much of a snitch that monkey is, straight on the Mount Rushmore of sinister primates with Doctor Zaius and that nazi monkey from Indiana Jones

Happy Draft Day to everyone except the Green Bay Packers. Hopefully they’ll have a bad a draft as literally everyone in this movie

I like this type of detective story but ultimately this was a bit flatly directed apart from the wild jazz score

Not a patch on the Rene Clair version but kudos to whoever casted Donald Pleasance in a murder mystery in full shouting about pure evil mode

The climactic scenes are spectacular but it’s pretty one dimensional if remarkably bleak up to that point

Antonio Banderas fully in his riverboat captain era

Watched on Friday April 11, 2025.

Rock solid dad-falling-asleep-on-the-sofa stuff

All three stories feel like germs of ideas that didn’t get properly developed rather than short stories that connect thematically

Josie nooooooooooooooo!

Would’ve won the screenplay Oscar if someone said the title of the movie

This review may contain spoilers.

Imagine seeing this at the cinema and being like, holy shit they killed Spock without the knowledge of all that came after

A movie about how hard it is to communicate with French people, even if you speak the language and how it’s impossible if you don’t. They all rightly agree about how beautiful Maggie Cheung is. 

I like that Jean-Pierre Léaud is still playing François Truffaut a decade after Truffaut died.

The Bonnie and Clyde needle drop was *chefs kiss*

The last twenty minutes of this are what Trek is all about but the road to get there is so long and slow and all the worst parts of Star Trek

Maybe the longest movie ever made? There’s a bit where Marlon can’t believe he was the same character he was ‘a little bit ago’ and it honestly felt like three hours had elapsed. That he can’t believe it is also silly as it’s very obvious where it’s going from the off. 

It’s also one of those liberal message movies that does an equal amount of harm as good (it’s pro interracial marriage, but it also fetishises Japanese women, it wants to strengthen Japanese-American relations but also contains a Yellowface performance) so there isn’t too much to recommend it beyond some pretty good performances in the middle of it

The worst Simpsons movie of your life so far 

An absolute fever dream of a movie

Not the best Miyazaki, not the best Lupin, but some of the set pieces here are unreal

Previous review

It’s a shame they stopped spending money on these films

Unfortunately the Weinstein cut which serves up Silent film type interstitials to explain what presumably has been cut out, the most egregious Telling instead of Showing I’ve ever seen, and making me feel both lost and patronised as a viewer.

It was still a worthwhile time - Leung is always amazing and as you can imagine, it’s photographed beautifully. The one sequence with the train is absolutely immaculate. I’ll hunt down the Chinese cut.

Better when it’s just a farce rather than a melodrama

Imagine Joey Pants as Claudio: First of all she was a hooooooah

Deeply unserious LeCarré adaptation that doesn’t commit to either a fully satirical tone or as an actual spy thriller. Does feature Pierce Brosnan fully doing Bond-gone-bad, and the fits - unsurprisingly- are superb

After the John Cena business kept expecting Maui to try and convince Moni to turn on Moana

By request of Georgi here is a list of the movies where the title is said in full in the dialogue of the movie. Bonus points if it’s completely egregious and they’ve worked hard to get in.

• Clear and Present Danger

  Less than ten minutes into the film as well

• The Living Daylights

  At the beginning, awkwardly delivered, no messing around

• Hot Tub Time Machine

  This one is very knowing but also funny, so its in

• Clueless

  A great example of the genre

• Friday

  Over the new line logo, this is probably a record

• Dude, Where's My Car?
• Evil Under the Sun
• The Departed

  Who wuz he? The deeeepahhhhhhhted?

• The World Is Not Enough

  Family motto

• Mission: Impossible II

  They don’t say Two but it’s such a memorable invocation of the title by Anthony Hopkins that’ll I’ll allow it
