  Columbus 2017

  ★★★★★ Watched 19 Oct 2021 5

  Columbus is a masterpiece that is criminally underrepresented in pretty much every cinematic conversation. This is a piece that got nothing close to a popular release or is it one that garnered any mainstream attention upon its birth into the zeitgeist. This is a painful reality. For Columbus to be viewed so little, for it have received next to no official recognition, is almost fitting. This is a miserable state that only accentuates the power that this story has to…

  Almost Famous 2000

  ★★★★½ Watched 28 Nov 2023

  A film that balances so much so well, Almost Famous must be considered a staple of the coming of age genre. These characters simply transcend the screen and are so full of life they’re close to tangible. This piece is written wonderfully and save for one or two misjudged moments, the screenplay is almost flawless. Individual performances excel to weave a tapestry of blanketed brilliance across the board and it makes for a phenomenal watch. Almost Famous is so close to perfect it hurts but don’t let that deter you from experiencing the warm, beautifully crafted story that is this film (if you haven’t yet, obviously).

  I could be wrong, but I think Christopher Nolan has certainly the reached that point in his career where, even if a newly released film of his is remotely underwhelming, he cops a ridiculous, and I mean ridiculous amount of slack for it. Mind you, this is based purely off of what I’ve heard from friends, read in newspapers and seen from you lot on LB in regard to Tenet.

  So of course, I went into my session last night…

  The Batman 2022

  ★★★★★ Watched 05 Mar 2022

  To truly understand and get Batman goes beyond knowing Bruce Wayne and his even sadder best friend. It involves understanding his universe, everything around him, his neighbours, his streets, his ethos, what drives him and makes him such a unique yet relatable character in any period. There’s a whole table of elements that have to work in tandem in order to make the absolutely finest representation of Batman, whether that be on the silver screen, in a comic book, or…
