Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 2023
James Gunn for the most part resists the compulsion to grab at other parts of the Marvel universe and deflatingly infuse them in the story or try to set up another franchise spin-off and purely focuses on the Guardians, their story and telling an emotionally resonant galactic epic with some killer tracks. This is undoubtedly the best film Marvel has given us since Captain America Winter Soldier in my mind and concludes a spectacular trilogy which would be better without…

Sisu 2022
A totally unpretentious thrill ride which never dares to be more than its claim. To list a few more apt adjectives, "ridiculous", "uninventive", "brazen" but most importantly it is "Sisu".

The Northman 2022
The Northman understands the intensity and ferocity of Viking age society while suckling off of the humour and hyperbolic folk-telling that so much of the mythology embraces. This film is equal in its savagery as it is its passion. Having consulted experts of the era such as Niel Price, it is brimming with historical head nods such as the minor details of the viking funeral detailed by Ibn Fadlan and the designs of the shields have been inspired by archaeological…
