  Napoleon 2023

  ★★★ Watched 25 Nov 2023

  Destiny has brought me this lamb chop

  I think there is something to be said about Ridley Scott taking up a massive nine figure budget from the streamers to make this movie about what an idiot he thinks Napoleon was.
  Phoenix and Kirby are insanely good, the movie gives them the room and they run with it. There’s no sort of balance to this film, if that makes any sense, but it’s still funny, poking holes into its protagonist’s mythos and adding a dash of some great battle sequences. The ice rink battle (fuck it) is really good. Nice movie.

  Kaathal – The Core 2023

  ★★★½ Watched 25 Nov 2023

  A very different film for me to watch, since this was the fist time I saw anything by Jeo Baby
  Visually and plotwise it’s a very simple film. The conflict is seeped in gently, instead of announcing it with a crash. There’s a certain attention to realism, and a lot of Kaathal goes from events to events without trying to sensationalise anything, as if trying to tell you, this happens, people are affected. Here how we lay it out. 
  Mammooty…

  Brahmāstra Part One: Shiva 2022

  ½ Watched 09 Sep 2022 7

  If your idea of cinema is an almost three hour cheap cgi laden pukefest that looks and sounds like it was written with crayons on the back of a starbucks invoice, then sit back, relax, and watch in awe as Alia Bhat and Ranbir Kapoor leverage the combined power of their nepotism addled last names to give you a cinematic experience so jarring and soul wrenching that it will make even the staunchest cinephile give up movies and switch over to crime petrol because at least there, the brain rot is intended.
