Absolute classic. Enjoyed this rewatch more than I thought I would. Fun drunk rewatch
Charisma is everything

Nosferatu 261n26 1922 - ★★★★

Thu, 22 May 2025 23:06:08 +1200

Finally got around to watching this timely classic. Simply amazing. I love how ambitious this is.

I love movies and film restoration so deeply.

I didn’t mind the subtle changes to the story such as the extended scene on the ship while Nosferatu ships himself off to another land.

I wish they gave ‘Hutter’ a formal first name, I just wanna call him Johnathan. It’s very clear he and Ellen loved each other very very much.

They had to be using miniatures for some of this right? Oh and the night vision scene with the horses… that was fantastic.

Bad Times at the El Royale n6k2f 2018 - ★★★★½

Wed, 21 May 2025 23:09:53 +1200

Can’t believe I gave this a 3.5 on my first watch, that was so undeserved on my behalf.

Genuinely loved everyone in this, Lewis Pullman, Cailee Spaeny and Jeff Bridges all really surprised me and I loved each of their performances in this.

Now THIS IS interior design folks, the set was just delicious and I wish I could stay at the El Royale.

Miles deserved so much more and his send off was very special <3

Jesus Christ
What a story about will, determination to live and the hard choices we have to make in the face of survival

Neeson was really awesome in this

Ninotchka 1770k 1939 - ★★★★½

Sun, 18 May 2025 23:45:23 +1200

“The Revolution is on the March... bombs will fall, civilizations crumble -- but not yet! Let us have our time. Let us be happy.”… speechless

Woah, this is such an all timer, what a beautiful, beautiful movie.

There is a very short moment that happens about midway through, where Ninotchka asks the Little Father in the picture frame to smile, and to my complete surprise he does. I’m not sure what they were giving the editors in 1939 but we must revert. That was some Harry Potter level stuff man. I’m so impressed.

Very informational when looking at social status, world views and standards within the communist community (albeit, the world) during the late 1930s.

Ninotchka’s evening dress was so stunning, I couldn't take my eyes off of her. I truly understood her as a character, the way she is very stern from the beginning and starts to open up through laughter and food. What a movie. I really loved this.

Mission 1h3df Impossible – The Final Reckoning, 2025 - ★★★★★

Sun, 18 May 2025 02:04:25 +1200

Easy 5 stars on my second watch, had a weird cinema experience for round 1 which took me out of important parts.

So many incredibly selfless characters in this one, it was very humbling to see such good writing.

Mid way point of the movie triggered my thalassophobia so bad I nearly threw up.

Brilliant way to send off the series.

It's What's Inside 476s6l 2024 - ★★★

Sat, 17 May 2025 23:02:35 +1200

omg Alycia Debnam-Carey my queen <3

very cool concept, reminded me of Being John Malkovich

Loved the lighting in this, the pacing was good too

Will need a rewatch to get all the switching understood better

Mission 1h3df Impossible – The Final Reckoning, 2025 - ★★★★½

Sat, 17 May 2025 15:53:38 +1200

What a culmination of a series and a beautiful way to send off the franchise. Tom Cruise, you are the last of the movie stars left.

Felt like the movie really picked up the pacing during the second half although I’m not too mad that it took the slow opening route. I wasn’t rushing to conclude the series.

Benji and Paris were just so incredible working together and almost an unexpected duo. Luther and Dunn I would die for you <3 what a spectacular cast, honestly.

I laughed, cried, held my breath for what felt like half the runtime. Do yourself a favour and see this in IMAX. The entity truly terrifies me and this movie spells it out quite plainly for those who don’t understand the risks our future faces.

Will write more once the rest of the world has seen.

“Talk to me dad” mind if I ball my eyes out.

Oh my god. This is insane in all the best ways.

Cruise and Teller were so bloody great to watch. Powell really grew on me by the end.

So sad I didn’t get to see this in IMAX

Top Gun 52523k 1986 - ★★★

Fri, 16 May 2025 01:02:33 +1200

Rahhhhhh I feel like I was supposed to enjoy this more.

I loved the lighting and the way the movie looked overall however the pacing felt quite all over the place.

Very excited to see Top Gun: Maverick

Interview with the Vampire 3e5618 1994 - ★★★★

Wed, 14 May 2025 19:11:49 +1200

Incredible. I loved all the subtle nods to Bram Stoker’s original ideas around vampirism scattered across the movie. Including the not so subtle showing of the film from Louis’ pov at the end. I also have a sneaky suspicion that Coogler drew inspiration from this film too, for Sinners.

Lestat had no business being that funny or gorgeous. I didn’t know Antonio Banderas would be a vampire so that was a really epic win. Claudia’s story was seriously so tragic… and her death

Hair, makeup and costume design all perfect. I couldn’t stop looking away from the Vampire’s eyes, were they s or good cgi (for the time?), I don’t even want to ruin the illusion by knowing.

One of my favourite endings to a vampire film. The nod to the rise of film making allowing Louis to see the sun again, was just absolutely delicious writing.

Edge of Tomorrow d1a6u 2014 - ★★★

Tue, 13 May 2025 23:55:42 +1200

Me 20 mins in: “this isn’t a Groundhog Day movie is?”

Honestly though I really enjoyed this original story. Thanks Mr Movies.

I liked the alien design but if I think too hard about the plot I’ll lose it.

Mission 1h3df Impossible – Dead Reckoning, 2023 - ★★★★

Tue, 13 May 2025 00:01:39 +1200

Ethan Hunt is seriously a crazy son of a bitch

This one felt incredibly real, being set around the threat of AI made the stakes feel even higher and uncomfortable.

That train scene… oh my GOD. I am so so grateful for Cruise’s ambition to do stunts on his own, I love him so dearly for this. It’s going to be a very long time until we get another Tom Cruise in Hollywood. He’s the man.

What a cast. Pom and Rebecca I love you so dearly, nothing better happen to Benji or Luther in the next one….

Sun, 11 May 2025 23:29:38 +1200

“There cannot be peace without first, a great suffering. The greater the suffering, the greater the peace.”
Incredibly God Emperor coded.

Oh god this is so easily the best one in the franchise thus far. I’m so pleased with this.

Benji finally got his mask, not once but twice and I Literally whooped and cheered.

Ethan and Julia tore my heart apart right before the end, but I understand them ]]>

Final Destination Bloodlines 1q4s64 2025 - ★★★★

Sat, 10 May 2025 01:42:26 +1200

WE ARE SO BACK

god, as someone who grew up on the originals I gotta say I bloody loved this alot

Richard Harmon was so good to see again and his death was easily the best <3 Iris and Paul were so sweet, they really felt like a believable couple

Needed a new final destination and didn’t even know it. I’m so happy with this. I unironically clapped and cheered at the end.

Need an explanation on the embodiment of death though…

Mission 1h3df Impossible – Ghost Protocol, 2011 - ★★★★½

Fri, 9 May 2025 01:19:33 +1200

LEA SEYDOUX MY BELOVED <3

It’s really hard to tell if this is my favourite one, so far, or not. This feels a whole tier above every other MI movie thus far.

Tom Cruise has honestly really grown on me. I enjoy these movies way more than I thought I would.

The atomic element to this naturally was an easy win for me.

]]>

Mission 1h3df Impossible III, 2006 - ★★★★

Thu, 8 May 2025 03:33:48 +1200

Worlds better than the second.
Finally felt like I couldn’t take my eyes off the screen again.

Michelle Monaghan was a really nice surprise for me <3 Phillip Seymour was fantastic too, really liked him in this role.

Really liked the stakes in this, felt like Ethan really had something to lose this time.

Mission 1h3df Impossible II, 2000 - ★★★

Mon, 5 May 2025 00:20:20 +1200

Cinematography lovers we are so back. What a visually beautiful movie. The sound design was great too, you could hear everything, especially in the black vault scene.

Tom Cruise is really growing on me, he’s like an old friend.

CIA definitely sold this story to Hollywood that’s for sure

Sinners 5z1711 2025 - ★★★★★

Wed, 30 Apr 2025 19:55:52 +1200

Early on before we even arrive at the Juke t, Mary tells Stack he’s going to hell and his reply being that he’ll keep a special place next to him for her, is truly incredible writing.

I feel like I don’t even have the words to touch on how deeply special the writing is between Annie and Elijah was. Smoke acknowledging their baby before he even goes to Annie’s shop, and the way he looks at her while he’s holding Stack in his arms while he bleeds out …. GOD that’s delicious.

Movie of the year, easily. I picked up on sooooooo much stuff this viewing, it seems essential to at least see it twice.

Noticed that Stack and Smoke’s car’s were colour coordinated too

God I’m so ridiculous for not giving this 5 stars on my first watch. Second viewing in IMAX

Sammie and Pearline were the fighters, Stack and Mary the killers, Smoke and Annie were the lovers - still working on the rest.

Warfare 665k3b 2025 - ★★

Thu, 17 Apr 2025 21:34:29 +1200

What are we doing here? Alex Garland offers a very interesting lens on the Iraq war, not one that I was entirely expecting, maybe this style of portrayal is not for me. I’m not a fan of this movie.

The first 40-50 mins was brutally boring, I understand that the intention here was to ‘set up’ the movie and introduce the audience to the characters involved, but this took a very painful amount of time to do. So much so I wanted to walk out, but didn’t. The movie feels like it begins shortly after the halfway mark and once you get there you are left shell shocked by the end of the movie.

Joesph Quinn and Will Poulter were really great, I enjoyed a good handful of the cinematography and sound design.

I’m not really sure this movie was needed? I believe that we need to do better at educating people on war and how devastating it is, but I’m not sure we need it through an American lens in cinema anymore.

Bram Stoker's Dracula 7455o 1992 - ★★★★★

Thu, 3 Apr 2025 23:51:14 +1300

now THIS is how you do a faithful adaption! I finished reading Dracula and ran straight here to watch this. What a beautiful surprise to have Keanu Reeves as Harker.

Everything about this is just truly delicious. The over saturated skies, hair and wardrobe, casting, over indulgent gothic design, it’s all just perfect.
Makeup truly was next level though because Lucy, visually transforms before your eyes and even though it is a gradual effect it is extremely shocking once she is truly undead, almost unrecognisable.
My one takeaway is that Seward, Jonathan and Quincey all seem to fall away into the background. It feels as if they had underdeveloped characters, with minimal dialogue this adds to the lack of them.

Lucy and Mina are so beautiful, the scene where Mina is taking blood from Dracula I wasn’t sure if I wanted to smile or cry, it’s so overwhelming, which I imagine is to be expected. Also Dracula’s wig… stunning.

Loved Dracula so much, Coppola did very well with this.

Every IMAX scene is so scrumptious, I couldn’t take my eyes away from the screen.
Almost instantly, this is better than the one that came before it. Feels like Nolan really discovered the approach he wanted to go for, in this one, super successfully too.

Bale, Ledger and Oldman are all doing insane work here.
