A masterwork from filmmaker Joanna Hogg, The Souvenir polarized audiences during its release. The movie has an extremely simple story but where it succeeds is in its layered, intense monologues and dialogue. The film is shown through the perspective of the lead character Julie hence making it unclear if whatever we see is even true or just her side of the incident. The movie has a magical quality to it due to the unusual placement of events making it seem…

The Searchers 1956
The Searchers is simply put the greatest western I've ever seen and one of the best films ever made! From the moment John Ford gave John Wayne his big break in the 1939 film Stagecoach, one of the most iconic partnerships in cinema was born. Wayne's rugged masculinity combined with Ford's riveting action sequences to create films that elevated the Western from B movie status to a classic popular genre in its own right. The Searchers follows Ethan Edwards as…

John Wick: Chapter 4 2023
Keanu is back again as John Wick to prove, yet again why he's the greatest action star (along with Cruise) we have in modern Hollywood. This is a masterfully made action extravaganza that might be my new favourite film in the series. Oh my god! The set pieces are so unbelievably great (Osaka Continental, Paris Shootout & Nightclub) set pieces are among the greatest in film history! It is surprising how this and Mission Impossible are the only series which up…

Avatar: The Way of Water 2022
James Cameron might be the most visionary action filmmaker ever, and his latest feature Avatar 2 might be among his best works. It is pure blockbuster cinema, an epic saga that enthralls you with its impeccable world building, eye popping visuals, grandiose action set pieces and the pure vision, spectacle and talent on display. Cameron (perfectionist) has crafted a film that will have you thinking for days, on how it was even pulled off in the very first place. Like…

The Northman 2022
Robert Eggers is bound to become one of the greatest filmmakers of this century with films like The Lighthouse, The Witch and The Northman. The Northman is a bloody and brutal revenge film that showcases Robert Eggers re-imagining his vision on the Norse mythology on a grand and epic scale with gorgeous imagery, setpieces and worldbuilding that transport you to the Viking era. Everything from the music to the cinematography and the Shakespearean dialogue is reminiscent of old school Hollywood…

The Gray Man 2022
The Gray Man is a movie that makes me really angry. Where, many talented filmmakers are struggling to receive 10 million dollars for their features, the Russo's waste 200 million dollars on such a boring, contrived, expository, stupid and cliched mess of a film that lacks any sense of originality, exciting action and vision. This film also has some of the worst editing and sense of humour in an action film I've seen in quite a while. Even the visuals…
