Mr. & Mrs. Smith

2005

★★★½ Watched

Jolie’s that girl you have on a photograph to take to war with

Edge of Tomorrow

2014

★★★ Watched

Very weird watching Cruise act scared shitless to literally anything and everything screaming and running at him for the first part of this movie, but when this gets going, it gets GOING. First Doug Liman movie! Love how energetic he is with his craft, the bits of wit and humour scattered throughout what is a pretty intense blockbuster is something I really appreciate.

The Lone Ranger

2013

★★★ Watched

Has all the elements set to make this an exceptional blockbuster (cast, director, location etc.), but The Lone Ranger unfortunately suffers from a pretty uninteresting script, and the excitement that’s supposed to hold the film together slowly fizzles out as the runtime goes along. Fun climax though, and the Verbinski + Depp duo proves the movies about those pirates weren’t a one-off match made in heaven.

The First Omen

2024

★★★½ Watched

I feel like I need to cleanse my eyes with holy water itself. Slowly morphs into something of unspeakable evil. All the props in the world to Stevenson, an absolutely insane directorial debut.

Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark

2019

★★★ Watched

Felt like the Goonies in a way but some of it turned into pure nightmare fuel

A Quiet Place: Day One

2024

★★½ Watched

My least favourite of the franchise thus far. Nyong’o and Quinn pair terrifically well, but the absence of Krasinski’s visceral direction and a lack of stakes (particularly in the third act) left me not as satisfied as I hoped I’d be. Still though, the film does deliver on the promises of its title - I can guarantee not a single nail was left unbitten in the theatre I was in.

Ouija: Origin of Evil

2016

★★★ Watched

A bit too corny for my liking, but the thematic material Flanagan deals with, as well as the chemistry between the cast makes this a well-worth supernatural flick.

Men

2022

★★ Watched

Either I’m becoming too soft, or I just witnessed some of the most messed-up and repulsive shit imaginable.

The Killer

2023

★★★★ Watched

This movie feels like taking a relaxing, globe-trotting, week-long vacation with your really, really weird cousin. Daddy Fincher’s still got it.

Evil Dead Rise

2023

★★★½ Watched

The first horror movie in a while that I’ve been properly grossed out from. Not actually scary by any means, but the amount of freaking blood and gore they put in here could fill up a couple Olympic-sized swimming pools and then some, like damn. The cranberry juice sitting in my fridge can go take a hike for a while.

Talk to Me

2022

★★★★ Watched

An absolutely stunning debut. Makes me even happier knowing this gem is Australian made :)

OZZY OZZY OZZY

Inside Man

2006

★★★½ Watched

The fact that Spike went from Do The Right Thing to a film like is just insane to me. Dynamic and really witty in the moment, and it’s a stacked cast for a reason.
