Star Wars: The Last Jedi

2017

★★★★ Liked Rewatched

This was the one I was looking forward to rewatching due to the hype it has gotten and how I didn’t really vibe with it when it came out. 

But I can safely say I vibe with it now, it’s not perfect, but the pros far outweigh the cons. Even more sad they didn’t stick with the decisions made here and instead retconned it all and made the film I’m least looking forward to in this series rewatch.

The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou

2004

★★★ Watched

Didn’t really vibe with most of this one, but few things were stand outs, namely the cross section of the boat set, Willem Dafoe (truly a treasure in basically everything he does) and the scene with the shark is beautiful.

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning

2025

★★★★ Liked Watched

After the disappointment I felt watching Dead Reckoning, they are so back with this one. 

First half an hour is a bit of a slog, but once it gets going it doesn’t stop, two of the best set pieces in the series, and whilst it doesn't hit the highs of Fallout, this was still a welcome to return to form for one of my favourite action series. Tom Cruise, never stop please.

Bring Her Back

2025

★★★★½ Liked Watched

After watching Talk to Me I was very excited to see what the Philippou brothers would do next, and I was not disappointed. 

This film is one of the best depictions of grief I’ve seen, Sally Hawkins is fantastic.
