22023-04-27Star Wars1977https://boxd.it/4aRETt4.5YesA classic of cinema, while now it is a bit dated, I would say it is one of the greatest films of all time. A must see if you haven't already. I think they could've shown more of Vader and it started off kind of slowly. But 5/5 for me! Best Star Wars film.star wars, masterpiece, fantasy, scifi2023-04-27
32023-04-27The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring2001https://boxd.it/4aRHzV4.5YesI think it is a great adaptation from book to film including most of the vital story elements and being a really fleshed out film that can survive on it's own. I though the ending was really good (If you know you know) and was really emotional, although they could've devoted more time to the council of Elrond as that is quite an important element to the book. Overall a cinematic masterpiece, in my top 5 films for sure!lotr, lord, rings, fantasy, frodo, gandalf, masterpiece2023-04-27
42023-04-28The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers2002https://boxd.it/4aRPFR4A great sequel to the First film. The Battle of Helms Deep is possibly my favourite scene from any film ever. I thought it maybe dragged on a bit but still top 5 films for me :Dlotr, lord, rings, towers, two, two towers, fantasy, masterpiece2023-04-27
52023-06-24The Imitation Game2014https://boxd.it/4pVYO73Really interesting as it is based off of true story of Alan Turing, one of my hero's in the tech world, I love this story for the characters and intensity, I would definetley recommend it, even though it's not perfect, it is a really good watch!enigma, gay, pride, computers, alan turing, ww2, nazi, enigma machine, christopher, home watch, rewatch, amazon watch
62023-06-24Johnny English2003https://boxd.it/4pXDlH3.5YesSO FUNNY! The ending though! This feels like a fanfiction of a cross between James Bond and Mr Bean! It's just so good, this is my 3rd time watching, but just rewatched, watch if you like secret agenty stuff and mr bean-like-comedy!mr bean, james bond, secret agent, comedy, ending, king, home watch, rewatch, amazon watch2023-06-23
72023-06-24Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan1982https://boxd.it/4q4USR4.5100% The best of the Star Trek films! And the ending GOD, if only this wasn't retconned in !The Search for Spock, it would be a perfect 5/5 stars. Also Khan! Great villain, I'm sorry Bennedict Cumberbatch, Ricardo Montalbán did Khan WAY better!khan, kirk, spock, enterprise, sad, ending2023-06-24
82023-06-24Star Trek: The Motion Picture1979https://boxd.it/4q4Vwn3It had to walk before it could run, the story is great, but the pacing and the whole start section is far to slow, I do like how it referenced real life events and the whole VGER thing was really cool.motion pictu, kirk, spock, vger2023-06-24
92023-06-24The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King2003https://boxd.it/4q581n4.5YesSO GOOD! Man I love this film! I can see barely anything wrong with it so I won't even try, I love how it is long, adds more content and stuff to watch and yet the pacing is still really good! The two battles in it are both so good (Though Helms Deep from Two Towers is the best) the emotional eagle scene and scene at the Grey Havens are both so well done, I always loved the books and these are such good adaptations!lotr, mordor, sauron, fantasy, high fantasy, black gate, pelenor fields, minas tirith, adaptation, eagles, grey haven2023-06-24
102023-06-25Star Wars1977https://boxd.it/4q5DfP4YesIt started it all, but because they had to introduce everything, the pacing isn't perfect and not loads happens, I still love this though!star wars, obi wan, luke, vader2023-06-24
112023-06-25Return of the Jedi1983https://boxd.it/4q5EeN3.5I don't really like the Ewoks or the whole start sequence, but after that, this film is so good, the ending is a really good finale to one of the best trilogies of all time, I kind of wish they'd left it here.star wars, vader, unmasked, finale, masterpiece2023-06-24
122023-06-25Star Wars: Episode III  Revenge of the Sith2005https://boxd.it/4q5ERb3.5YesThe action and pacing I think is really good, by far the best of the prequel trilogy, this and the clone wars completely carry it, if you want to see my clone wars (series) review it's on serializdstar wars, revenge, sith, anakin, prequels, action2023-06-24
132023-06-25Star Wars: The Clone Wars2008https://boxd.it/4q5FlP3Eh it's *ok* but the series is way better, this just started it which I respect, it's still better than the first and second prequels.clone wars, movie, ok, started it off2023-06-24
142023-06-25Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace1999https://boxd.it/4q5Gdn2I think it had potential, but was real let down after the originals, pacing was off and not enough action, having said that I respect it for building the lore of Star Wars and setting up the originals, which I cannot say for the sequels (they were pointless)phantom menace, jar jar, binks, boring, respect, pacing2023-06-24
152023-06-25Star Wars: Episode II  Attack of the Clones2002https://boxd.it/4q5GOt2.5YesA bit better than phantom menace with more action and world building, but still not great, the arena scene was good but this was completely carried by the clone wars lolarena, prequels2023-06-24
162023-06-25Star Wars: The Force Awakens2015https://boxd.it/4q5HEp2YesI like the action, and effects and stuff, the story was not great as it kinda just copied the original, this film started the sequels so for that I give it 2 stars. Stand-alone it is pretty good, but feels compeletley pointless to be a star wars film, complete cash grabeh, action, pointless2023-06-24
172023-06-25Star Wars: The Last Jedi2017https://boxd.it/4q5IfP2.5I think it was brave as it was different from the formula, but again, it just feels like a pointless cash grab, the ending was good I must admit, best of the sequels I think (despite the hate)ok, pointess, cash grab, good ending2023-06-24
182023-06-25Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker2019https://boxd.it/4q5J8b1.5YesThis is the worst Star Wars film, the action is ok, but not as good as Force Awakens, but it is again a pointless cash grab and the story SUKS ASS, man this had potential to be a great finale so I'm really disappointed, the plot makes no sense and the action is just ok. 1.5 starsbad, cash grab, bad plot, no story, ok action2023-06-24
192023-06-25Solo: A Star Wars Story2018https://boxd.it/4q5OcR3YesThis film is so underrated, it is worse than Rouge One, but come on, this film is really good, it has some really good action, a decent plot and sets up han's character for the originals! Also Maul is there as a clone wars reference (kind of) which I love.Darth MAUL!, Han solo, underated2023-06-24
202023-06-25Rogue One: A Star Wars Story2016https://boxd.it/4q5ULt3.5I think this is really good, solves one of the big plot holes of the originals, while still having a really compelling plot, I LOVE THE LAST SCENE, seriously one of the best scenes in Star Wars, Vader is so badass I fucking love it! Action isn't great tbf, but still a great plot.vader, badass, scenes, sad, plot2023-06-24
212023-06-25Batman1966https://boxd.it/4qdeWl3.5YesBest Batman film, I love bombs and Adam West, So nostalgic, one of the first films I remember!batman, adam west, comedy, nostagia2023-06-24
222023-06-25Life of Brian1979https://boxd.it/4qoDJ94YesFucking hilarious all the way through, a comedic masterpiece as ever with Monty Python!comedy, monty python, brian, life of brian2023-06-25
232023-06-26Warcraft2016https://boxd.it/4qpBUr1Wow, this was shit. This film was so poorly made, badly written and struggled to keep my attention, it was a disorientating shitshow from start to end, with the final scene being anything of value. When ever the orcs and humans were on screen together it felt so disjointed as the humans are completely live action where as the orcs have the reminiscent cartoonish design like in the game, this works in the game, it does not here. The only reason this is not a 0.5 star is because of the abundance of fan service that was quite nice. Who decided this was a good idea?warcraft, bad, shitshow, fan service, cash grab, bad adaptation2023-06-25
242023-06-29Lawrence of Arabia1962https://boxd.it/4rlu3V3.5So firstly, I think this film has obviously aged a bit, slower paced than modern film, and not loads of music. Having said that, the story is great, I don't want to spoil it, but it is really good, about Lawrence helping to liberate the Arabs, I think the characters are really defined and well done. (Also film is very long so make some time if you plan to watch it)lawrence, arabia, arabs, ww1, world war, freedom, damascus2023-06-28
252023-06-30Asterix & Obelix: The Middle Kingdom2023https://boxd.it/4rEm1b1.5Story was... ok, nothing special, but my god, Astrix and Obelix do NOT translate to film form, best leave them as comic 0_0 really bad idea, whole thing made me cringe really bad, especially the ending... I thought the humour was decent too.bad, shouldn't be a film, bad idea, cringe, ok story2023-06-29
262023-06-30Elysium2013https://boxd.it/4rGcJB3The start and end where thrilling, but the middle was a bit boring, the characters are not super well fleshed out, but I liked the story and action non-the-less, would recommend if you like sci-fi.sci-fi, action, futuristic2023-06-29
272023-07-01Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse2023https://boxd.it/4rQjOt4I love the references and cameos to other spidermen, the bit where they all point at each other was great and the emotional scenes hit well, the live action cameos actually worked quite well and didn't look too out of place; annoying that it ended on a cliffhanger, though I will definitely be watching the 3rd instalment! but the art was even better than the first film my god. The hacking was pretty goofy too.spiderman, comic, amazing, gwen, cannon event, cinema watch2023-06-30
282023-07-01The Terminator1984https://boxd.it/4rRA8V3.5First half is kind of boring, but second half really kicks off! I'll be back, to check who's watched it.i'll be back, NICE... scenes, rewatch, home watch, amazon watch2023-06-30
292023-07-01The Shawshank Redemption1994https://boxd.it/4rU2tr4.5YesEverything about this film is so exquisite, the way the story beats tie in together, the way the characters are designed, the way everything links together like a proper story. And the last 45 minutes are some of the best moments in cinema, I don't know exactly what it is about this movie, but goddammit is it a near masterpiece all throughout! This film always makes me feel so emotional in a way no other film can.masterpiece, jail break, chefs kiss, amazing scenes, rewatch, home watch2023-06-30
302023-07-01Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom1984https://boxd.it/4s52Vd3YesBit racist, but a swell time throughout, the cart scene especially!home watch, rewatch, dvd watch, temple, doom, stereotypes2023-07-01
312023-07-01The 1882 Transit of Venus1882https://boxd.it/4s67zj4A thrilling story, I loved the part where you could see Venus, I was on the edge of my seat!home watch, youtube watch2023-07-01
322023-07-02Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny2023https://boxd.it/4saUdJ2Thought the action was great, the first half was really good and the opening train scene was stunning, The whole time travel bit felt out of place though and the ending wth Mirian was pretty cringe. Also, the plot felt too similar to Raiders with them having half a thing then finding the other half then the Nazis take it off them which leads to the Nazis death. Good film, bad final 1/3, also too long; felt bloated.cinema watch, freind watch, dramatic, time travel, old indi2023-07-01
332023-07-08Lawrence of Arabia1962https://boxd.it/4tXS013.5YesStunning film, better on rewatch so I'll rate it higher than my previous one. See this review for my opinions on the film: https://letterboxd.com/deadvey/film/lawrence-of-arabia/0/netflix watch, home watch, lawrence, arabia, stunning, story, real story2023-07-07
342023-07-08All Quiet on the Western Front2022https://boxd.it/4u4pLV4This film is so ridiculously depressing, the ending was great, and all the trench scenes where phenomenal. I thought some of the film in the middle was a tad boring and the plot on it's own was a bit slow/weirdly paced, but the content and thrilling action scenes are so good.netflix watch, home watch2023-07-07
352023-07-09Elemental2023https://boxd.it/4ug9rp3The story and emotional scenes where strong, idk what it is that means it felt a tad lacklustre for mw, maybe the middle was a bit disconnected at points. Having said that, the film was still great and the scenes at the end was pretty sad, the whole last act is great, I would recommend for people who like Pixars style of films and romances, it felt quite unique.2023-07-08
362023-07-09The Godfather1972https://boxd.it/4uxtFF3Interesting story with a cool plot, I personally think it's overrated (being second on IMDB) but I can recognise it as a great film still. Michael's character is done well, pretty thrilling.home watch2023-07-09
372023-07-10Johnny English Reborn2011https://boxd.it/4uytmP3.5YesThe story isn't as strong as the other ones, but there are some really funny moments all throughout.funny, johnny, idiot, rowan atkinson, home watch, amazon watch2023-07-09
382023-07-10Johnny English Strikes Again2018https://boxd.it/4uzXGd3.5YesBest one of the series, strong story, great humour and no boring parts of the plot.funny, home watch, netflix watch, best2023-07-09
392023-07-10Catch Me If You Can2002https://boxd.it/4uJvPL4YesReally good story, the fact he's so young is incredible, and the ending is really good too, there isn't loads of action until the last act, but it doesn't really need it, a super well rounded film basically!leo, fbi, check fraud, home watch2023-07-10
402023-07-11Citizen Kane1941https://boxd.it/4uXW4v3Idk, I know its super popular, but I think its not really for me, the story is a bit slow and oddly paced and the ending is the best but by far, most of it is kind if bland.2023-07-10
412023-07-12Casino Royale2006https://boxd.it/4vlu2T3Pretty fun film, the first 30 minutes or so have a lot of action, the whole middle section is slow but intriguing and the end is unexpected and cool. Middle section was strongest part, felt very spy-like, start was also good, but a bit too fast, ending was cool. Gonna try watch all the Daniel Craig James Bonds.the name's james james bond, home watch2023-07-12
422023-07-12The Wizard of Oz1939https://boxd.it/4vtMmD3.5The story is great and the graphics and technological achievements in this are incredible for 1939! The characters are done great, I read the books years ago, so I don't remember how loyal it is to the source materiel, but nevertheless, it's a great film!dorothy, there's no place like home, home watch, there's no place like home watch2023-07-12
432023-07-13Quantum of Solace2008https://boxd.it/4vwOox2It was OK, the plot was OK, the action was OK, the villian was OK, nothing inherinty bad, but nothing amazing either. It was just OKeh, OK, home watch, the name's james james bond2023-07-12
442023-07-13Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull2008https://boxd.it/4vC8LB3.5YesI thought the first act was great and the ending was pretty bad, I know the others have magic in them, but it's more religious magic that sci-fi magic, it just hits different, this was too... weird, having said that, the action scenes where phenomenal, the car chase scenes just went on too long, and I thought the film went on too long too.home watch, channel4 watch, indi2023-07-12
452023-07-14The Wolf of Wall Street2013https://boxd.it/4vUjaR3.5The transition from Rich dick who just parties all the time on his yacht, to someone who is terrified guy who is being chased by the FBI, and who's life is spiralling out of control rapidly is terrific, and the whole first hour, compared to the last hour, are two incredibly good stories, showing how he has grown.netflix watch, home watch, i'll quit my job right fucking now2023-07-13
462023-07-15Watchmen2009https://boxd.it/4w91Fx2.5Better than I thought, a few aspects didn't translate too well from comic to film, but overall, I think they did a good job with it. The prison scene really did that part of the book justice *chefs kiss* and the violence was also great (if a little graphically lacking, it's 2009) The last act was sort of bland and slow, it was a bit stretched out, they could've done with making it like 30 minutes shorter, but idk.who watches the watchmen?, home watch, netflix watch2023-07-14
472023-07-16Alan Partridge - Stratagem2022https://boxd.it/4wl9H12.5Its ok, its funny and all, but it kind of hit the mark and was a bit stretched out, it was a live stage performance tbf, so you cant expect too much, but, Ive seen better stage performances.2023-07-15
482023-07-16The Empire Strikes Back1980https://boxd.it/4wnJ8l4.5YesBest one, I'd say this film is perfect, good timing, great plot, amazing reveals. NEAR PERFECThome watch, dvd watch2023-07-15
492023-07-16Waterloo1970https://boxd.it/4wt8O73It pretty good, it stretches on a bit, and the first half is pretty boring, the second half though is chaotically great, the constant cannon fire is pretty cool, though the battle gets repetitive.2023-07-15
502023-07-17Star Trek: Generations1994https://boxd.it/4wGcIN3Its pretty good, the opening sequence is interesting and well shot, the whole middle bit is a bit slow, but the final sequence is also a great bit, I love Picard and Kirk teaming up, great payoff.2023-07-16
512023-07-18The Man Who Knew Infinity2015https://boxd.it/4x6SAD2.5It's ok, I find the character of Ramanesh not to be particually compelling though. It's made well though.School watch, youtube watch2023-07-17
522023-07-18Inception2010https://boxd.it/4x6ULN3.5Really cool, I love how they instantly make the stakes 100x higher at points by revealing key bits of information, I was metaphorically on the edge of my seat the whole of the dream sequence! Also... the ending... so many question, a great film will leave an impression on you for a while. which (while I did only just watch this) I think it will, similarly the All Quiet on the Western From (2022) I wanna rewatch this already :Ohome watch, amazon watch, :o, edge of my seat, ending2023-07-17
532023-07-21Star Trek III: The Search for Spock1984https://boxd.it/4y5QpP2.5Better than I remembered, especially the last act, but I HATE how they kind of retconned Wrath of Khan!2023-07-20
542023-07-22The Death of Stalin2017https://boxd.it/4ysdrt3.5Love it, the comedy is funny and the whole thing does a really good job of presenting Soviet Russia around Stalin's death. The characters are done really well, you can really feel their constant nerves and fright walking around every corner as they are so terrified of Stalin even after his death. Overall, great film, and the last scene was crazy.stalin, melenkov, i can't spell, fuck me, soviet russia, home watch, amazon watch2023-07-21
552023-07-23Oppenheimer2023https://boxd.it/4yTu3R3.5I really liked it, but I thought the constant time jumps were really annoying, if they just did it in chronological order it would be a lot better. Also, the last like 45 minutes were kind of drawn out and confusing due to the time jumps. But man did I love the trinity test scene! It was fucking amazing, I dont want to give much away though. This film would be a 4 star if it were in chronological order I think, I just dont see the point.2023-07-22
562023-07-31Downfall2004https://boxd.it/4Ci5Br3Really good the way it makes you emphasize with the Germans trapped in Berlin during it's downfall. Hitler was also presented really well as a stressed out mess of a person at the end of WW2, I would recommend a watch for anyone who is interested in the Nazis and the third Reich. Though it is in German so you need subtitles* It does stretch on a bit and could definitely be better if it was a bit shorter.home watch, youtube watch, nazis, hitler2023-07-30
572023-07-31Apollo 112019https://boxd.it/4Cmvml3.5Cool how they did this with recovered footage of the event, but also could feels a bit weirdly done. It's still super cool how they did it, just a bit boring at parts. Most of it is over-radio voices, kinda gets annoying nglhome watch, apollo 11, armstrong, collins, aldrin2023-07-31
582023-08-01Saving Private Ryan1998https://boxd.it/4CHNcb3Good but also predictable and the battle at the end was too long. It made my brother cry though which is quite a feat. The graphics were amazing for the year though, just stunning.2023-07-31
592023-08-04Barbie2023https://boxd.it/4DFhQN3.5Thought it had a really good message and plot, unfortunatley some cunts were screaming sexist slurs and shouting for the first 45 mins before getting kicked out. I think everyone should watch this as it makes some fantastic points about the bad bits of society and presents them really well!Barbie, ken, femenism2023-08-03
602023-08-1219172019https://boxd.it/4GtnKp3.5YesA gruesome depiction of the terrifying and uncertain nature of world war 1.2023-08-12
612023-08-15Oppenheimer2023https://boxd.it/4HltYb3.5YesI think it was better on rewatch as I understood what was going on much better, I still am annoyed that the film jumped around a lot, but it felt better on rewatch, just really confused first time lol.2023-08-14

642023-08-18Darkest Hour2017https://boxd.it/4IiVkh3.5Really interesting drama about early 1940 and the view of the UK on it's outcome. I loved the underground scene!home watch, netflix watch2023-08-17
652023-08-18Dunkirk2017https://boxd.it/4IkAGZ3Stunning film about the evacuation of Dunkirk, with a sad ending Having said that, parts of it were a bit slow and the confusing as with Nolans style.home watch, amazon prime watch2023-08-18
662023-08-19No Man's Land2001https://boxd.it/4Ixluv3Pretty interesting, and the ending was great, the middle bit before UNPROFER arrived was a bit dull, but also exiting at parts!home watch2023-08-18
672023-08-19They Shall Not Grow Old2018https://boxd.it/4Iz8qz4YesThis is like my 20th time watching this. It's such an amazing documentary for anyone interested in WW1home watch, so sad2023-08-18
682023-08-27Watchmen: Motion Comic2008https://boxd.it/4KZP7Z4I love this 'film', and how they did the animations, the only complaint is that it's no different to the book, it's essentially just a different form of consuming the original book as all the frames are the same but animated, still a really unique style though, and of course the plot is still phenomenal! Got the DVD's for my birthday and just got round to reviewing it haha 😭 --Also, it's not a film, it's a series of 12 episodes--watchmen, comic, artistic, creative2023-08-26

712023-09-03Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem2023https://boxd.it/4N68Et3.5I really enjoyed this and it was really funny throughout the film with good references and that, the story was a bit cliché and predictable lol, but it was still enjoyable none the less. I'm gonna do a spolier review, but LEO HAS RIZZ!cinema watch, tmnt, mutant mayhem2023-09-02
722023-09-03Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem2023https://boxd.it/4N6c6b3.5---non spoiler section--- I really enjoyed this and it was really funny throughout the film with good references and that, the story was a bit cliché and predictable lol, but it was still enjoyable none the less. I'm gonna do a spolier review, but LEO HAS RIZZ! ---spoiler section--- I think it was a bit a of a drawback how easily the other mutants changed their whole mind and how set they then were at defeating SuperFly, felt quite jarring, especially how unanimous it was, also I really liked how it seemed like the turtles would team up with Super Fly at first, and i thought it would've been more interesting to see them go along with him at first, or all the way, would've been a bigger twist imo!cinema watch, tmnt, mutant mayhem, spoiler review2023-09-02
732023-10-03The Dark Crystal1982https://boxd.it/4VRUSf3.5YesSo cool, I want to rewatch for like the 5th time, but it's a really well done fantasy film even if it is a bit weird lmfaofantasy, mmmmmmmmm2022-11-18
742023-10-29Five Nights at Freddy's2023https://boxd.it/54px7v3Honestly the weirdest cinema experience I've ever had. Film was mid tbh, was seeing it with friends and that was fun, but the whole cinema was clapping at every thing and there were loads of roadmen telling everyone to shut the fuck up. But odd, also apparently some couple brought a blanket and were getting a blowy so yeahhhh. Also people were throwing popcorn at people and I was gonna get security but then didn't because I was afraid of getting attacked by the "roadmen" who also had a fight after the film ended 💀. Anyway, apart from barley being able to watch the film, it was ok ig, pretty weird... I was NOT expecting the animatronics to make a table fort and then have a slumber party but ok. I also know practically nothing of FNAF lore so that didn't help also everyone screamed and clapped and stuff at the matpat cameo so ok.cinema watch2023-10-28
752023-11-13A Christmas Carol1984https://boxd.it/59nMRz2.5I found this DVD in my house and it's ok, bit weird at times, not loads to say about it tbh but the child acting is... not very good...dvd watch, home watch2023-11-11

812023-11-26Napoleon2023https://boxd.it/5dGrV52.5Really thrilling story, though I think it moved to fast and could've benefited from either covering a shorter period of his life or making it 2 films as a lot happened during the period it covered and there wasn't enough time to go too in detail. Having said that, it was a really good overview of the life of Napoleon and how he acted and behaved, I loved watching it play out on big screen! He should've taken advice from ABBA and been cautious about facing his waterloo: Waterloo.cinema watch, st helena, waterloo, waterloo... finally facing my waterloo... dun dun dun dun... waterloo!2023-11-25
822023-12-18The Santa Clause1994https://boxd.it/5lomEp3.5YesI watch this every year with my family and every time I notice stuff I hadn't before, it's so funny and self aware and stupid and I love it. It's also really hard to watch at times because of the cringe like when Charlie announces really confidently to the class that his dad is Santa and everyone bursts out laughing is so awkward and I love it.dvd watch, home watch, watched with family2023-12-17
832023-12-25The Santa Clause 22002https://boxd.it/5obSwj2.5This film used to TERRIFY me as a kid, the naked plastic santa was traumatising. also... WHY THE FUCK DOES HE DRESS AS MUSSOLINI??? The story also doesn't make much sense and is kind of cringy and cliché, but given all that, it is still pretty nostalgic for me.santa, touchee, plastic, dictator santa, fasist santa2023-12-23
842023-12-25Nativity!2009https://boxd.it/5og9114Another classic to watch with my family around Christmas time, the portrayal of a British Primary school is so accurate and way more relatable than any American shit that takes up the rest of the Christmas films, truly a great film and probably my favorite Christmas one.home watch, iplayer watch, british primary school2023-12-24
852023-12-25A Christmas Carol2009https://boxd.it/5oguJN2.5YesIt's better than the 1984 version just because the 1984 one didn't do ghosts very well because of no cgi, but this one isn't much better, the animation is horrific to come from Disney and is deep in the uncanny valley. It is however fairly accurate to the source material so I'll give it that.school watch, uncanny valley2023-12-21

872023-12-31Wonka2023https://boxd.it/5rF7Ul3I prefered the first half, the second was a bit too over the top for me, though I guess that's the point 🤷 I think Timothy Chalomay (fuck the spelling) did well as Willy, however, I don't think he captured the magic of Gene Wilder. Having said this negative stuff, the film was EXTREMELY fun and exiting and if it weren't for my brain constantly trying to find plot holes where sense was exchanged for an abundance of novelty, I would have given this a 4 star just because of how FUN it was to watch! Side note: I loved how I recognised loads of the actors from Peep Show, Horrible Histories and Ghosts, it was really funny because I watched ghosts with my mum and we were pointing out the actors haha. The acting was great. Also poor people 🤮cinema watch, fun, exiting, over abundance, actors2023-12-30

Though it did get some good laughs like how there's two people called anus and how he kept shouting LUCY GRAYhome watch, family watch, hungry, watched with doughballs and pizza2024-01-04

The acting is good and the story was great but it kind of didn't feel that inspiring to me, similar to the book. Although it's still good, I'm hopeful for part 2 to conclude the duology. The special effects were stunning and the desert look amazing.

1042024-02-27Schindler's List1993https://boxd.it/5VnzHN3.5YesThe ending was pretty sad but the film was way too long and drawn out. It was very good but I think very overrated. At first I thought the black and white style was pointless, but I think it was really good in the end, seeing the few bits of colour and the final moments of the film was all very well done.home watch2024-02-26
1052024-03-02Dune: Part Two2024https://boxd.it/5X5mnH3.5Watched this today after 3 years o_o I read the book over COVID so I knew what would happen, but from what I remember, there is a lot less exposition than this half of the book and Chani was way more intense, in the book I don't really think she really cared about the prophecy, but she seemed to HATE it in this which I thought added a lot more conflict in their relationship! Also why was Paul's sister not born??? But I think the film was still good (even though the book is still better) and I thought part 2 was better than part 1 imo because NUKES I'm defo gonna get the DVD when it drops... I want to watch again, I liked this very much so, wraps up the story well.cinema watch, percy the pig, NO ALIA???, book > film2024-03-01

1122024-03-23Nineteen Eighty-Four1984https://boxd.it/66Vow71.5Faithful (ish) to the story in terms of purely plot, but could've done with a much longer run time to flesh out the more impactful philosophical questions and concepts raised in the book, this didn't make me feel anything.

1192024-04-14Civil War2024https://boxd.it/6h6mpF4.5This film actually made me scared even though I'm not American, it's a reminder of how quickly and disastrously a comfy life can de ravel into chaos. The whole scene with that guy in red sunglasses was so good and so scary, he was just insane, killing anyone if they said something he slightly didn't like, I don't even know what side he was on! The whole final act with the Western Forces storming the white-house was so good and the final shot of the soldiers ruthlessly killing the president was amazing. I also loved how the film didn't just pick a side of the conflict and root for them the whole time, instead it just shows some War Photographers witnessing this mess. I'm so glad I saw this film.cinema watch, family watch, holy shit2024-04-13

1222024-05-12Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes2024https://boxd.it/6sxWqR3The film had a slow start but I really liked the whole half an hour or so with the orangutang, I thought that was very interesting how different groups had different interpretations on what Ceasers message was. I don't think I fully understood the ending however, I must watch it again to fully understand it.cinema watch, family watch2024-05-11
1232024-05-14The Twelve Tasks of Asterix1976https://boxd.it/6t3GMV2.5I have had the book of the film forever and only just got around to watching it, It's alright, I really don't have much to say about it other than that hearing the characters voices is REALLY weird having only read them (other than Asterix and the Middle Kingdom which I've tried to block out of my brain) so that was interesting. It defo was better than Asterix and the Middle Kingdom. The bit with the permits was funny af though and it still has a lot of the humour from the comics which translated better than I expected! If I rated this purely based on nostalgia from the book it would be an easy 4 stars.home watch, a bit racist2024-05-13

1262024-07-09The Dictator2012https://boxd.it/6PR2513I found this film funny but the story is a bit short and the jokes sometimes were a bit forced, I also think it fails as it's all much more scripted than Ali G or Borat (played by Sacha Baron Cohen) also I liked how he pretended to be liking democracy at the end but then just made himself always be voted in.sacha baron cohen, comedy, home watch2024-07-08

My favourite thing was how the camera kept zooming in on Damon's tatoo that said 'I am a cunt' also everyone in the cinema laughed when he said that people beat him up because they thought he was a cunt, so dead pan and well delivered! cinema watch, family watch, reality2024-07-21
