  Boy Kills World 2023

  ★★★★½ Watched 10 Sep 2023

  Have you been wanting to see The Raid, Kill Bill, John Wick, Deadpool, a good R-rated Mortal Kombat film, and every classic kung fu movie, but just couldn’t find the time? Well, luckily for you, director Moritz Mohr has made Boy Kills World so you can watch all of those within a single film. But please don’t mistake that as anything other than the biggest compliment possible, because Boy Kills World is easily my favorite film I’ve seen at TIFF…

  Bottoms 2023

  ★★★★½ Watched 11 Mar 2023

  Bottoms is an unpredictable, over-the-top (ironically) high school comedy that finds sharply relatable truths within its hilarious insanity.

  The Royal Hotel 2023

  ★★★★ Watched 13 Sep 2023

  Australia is home to some of the deadliest creatures on the planet, from crocodiles to snakes to box jellyfish … and the most dangerous of all, drunk, horny men. Which is where Kitty Green’s The Royal Hotel comes in, inspired by the 2016 Pete Gleeson documentary Hotel Coolgardie.

  Fair Play 2023

  ★★★★½ Watched 13 Sep 2023

  If you thought a film about an engaged pair of financial firm employees couldn't be a savage, disturbing, violent nightmare, then Fair Play is here to prove you very, very wrong. And it's all the better for it.

  INTERSTELLAR: A CINEPHILE AWAKENED

  Throughout the majority of my life so far, I enjoyed movies. There were some that I loved and would re-watch constantly, others I hated and swore to never give another try, and some that went in one ear and out the other. Not too much like now, in that sense. However, I didn’t have the level of admiration and love for the art form as a whole that I have now. You wouldn’t have seen me…

  BLADE RUNNER 2049: A BEATING HEART IN THE HOLLYWOOD MACHINE

  As I had stated many months ago, Interstellar was the film that turned me into a true, if very inexperienced, cinephile. Someone who wanted to follow new films closely, catch up on all that I’d missed, and deeply analyze all of it as well as I could. This also included a closer look at the content creators focused on film, leading me to seek out some of the top names…
