★★★ Watched 23 May 2025

Despite the short run time, I found this quite slow (and at times a tiny bit boring). 

That said, there’s a lot to like here, particularly *that* scene at Lake Mungo. Also want to give it some credit for its unique style.

2002

★★★★ Watched 23 May 2025

I’ve struggled with some of Shyamalan’s more recent films but I’m such a big fan of his early work.

While there are a few more I need to tick off the watchlist, Signs might just be the pick of the bunch. There’s something about the world he creates that I take comfort in. While not at all religious myself, I really took something from Graham’s battle with his own faith.

2019

★★★½ Watched 15 May 2025

Loved the first 45 minutes or so but I think it’s fair to say it started to run out of steam by the end.

I also guessed the final twist about halfway through and from that point on was just waiting for the reveal. 

Peele’s worst but still enjoyable.

2025

★★★★★ Watched 05 May 2025

Completely blown away by this. A stunning soundtrack, scintillating performances and so so much sauce. The already amazing Coogler has elevated to a whole new level of greatness. 

Without doubt one of the best films this decade.
