  Lightyear 2022

  ★★★ Watched by Ben Guilfoyle 17 Jun 2022

  LOTS of potential that felt kinda wasted, but most of all it’s just a bit of a slog and not as fun as it should be.

  IMAX sequences rock though and will probably be some of the coolest visual sequences of the year.

  Ratatouille 2007

  ★★★★★ Rewatched by Ben Guilfoyle 25 May 2022

  The music! Anton Ego! The blocking! Dolly zooms! The editing! The handheld camera! Long takes! The music! Ian Holm’s performance! The physical comedy! Pull focus shots! Skeleton typewriter! Coffin-shaped office! The lighting! The music! The end monologue!

  Did I mention the music?

  Spider-Man: No Way Home 2021

  ★★★★ Watched by Ben Guilfoyle 16 Dec 2021

  This was honestly an insane experience, I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many people unanimously so happy and ecstatic.

  Say what you want about the movie, but when this works, it works.
