Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith

2005

★★★★★ Liked Rewatched

With 20 years to marinate Revenge of The Sith is perhaps the greatest it ever will be and has finally realised its true potential.

Today Revenge of the Sith is a film which has 100 hours of content developed to directly preceed it and another hundred hours to succeed it. The characters which were once criticised as being weak are instead deeply developed and the pacing which once felt so off feels acceptable given its context within its wider array…

Sinners

2025

Liked Watched

Can't pretend to grasp the scope of Sinners after just one sitting. Coogler has crafted such a fascinating and nuanced film here and packaged it up as a blockbuster. His ion and love truly shines through. Everything about this film is so tight, the editing, the score, the performances and the thematic thread that underscores the entire film.

One thing is for sure, Cooglers mastery of his craft is on full display here.

Reserving score for a later viewing.

I was lucky enough to go to a Q & A with Joon-Ho Bong right after...what a beautiful man.

Everyone should watch this film.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

2018

★★★★½ Liked 1

In today's world there is perhaps no other superhero which is engrained so strongly within pop-culture than Spider-Man.

If you were born in 2000 like myself you will have witnessed 3 reboots, several animated TV shows and of course hundreds of comics. I had the privilege of growing up with Spider-Man so he was present at many stages within my life. In my younger years when I was 5, in my early teens when I was about 13 and now…
