I just watched War of the Worlds (2025) out of pure curiosity and like.. it started out 'funny bad' but by the end it was just 'bad bad'.
Almost a 2/10 but nah... this wasn't it... 1/10! No thanks!

I just saw Rocketman and it was really fun! As a musical it was very enjoyable with some bold performances, but as a screenplay it kinda felt like a first draft...
The creative choices didn't feel in service of much, just drifting from song to song. Loved the ending scene though. Overall high 6/10

6/6 stress, 0 hope, 1 shield, 1 hit point - this is what it feels like to barely scrape through combat xD

I finally got around to watching Better Man - the robbie williams bipoic and it was so good!
Had a really good sense of tone in both the writing and the visuals. The effects were great. The story was like any other music biopic, but it was told in such a creative and engaging way. Loved it! 8/10

I just saw the new superman movie and despite expecting it to be mid - it was fantastic!
Good comedy mixed with really strong themes that I connected with - outstanding performances all around but especially Lex Luthor - a lot of style in the action. Everything I could've wanted 9/10

I rewatched Primer and man I love this film! Between three viewings and one youtube summary I now feel like I've got a pretty good grasp on the story.
I love how grounded yet mindblowing it is. Tense, surreal, existential and thought provoking. Truly fantastic. 9/10

I watched Thunderbolts* and it was pretty good! I'm definitely at the point of wanting more from my superhero films and this delivers with its themes. Some great humour too!
It was quite passive viewing though, not really any subtlety to it. Definitely my favourite of the suicide squad movies! 7/10

I just watched The Phoenician Scheme and it was great! I'm generally a fan of Wes Anderson, I always find myself completely sucked into the experience. This was no different.
Very fun, great imagery and presentation, just flew by. It's a very high 7/10 from me! Great watch :D

Struggling to find time and energy to do everything I want to do, including being active on socials, but at least I still get a bi-weekly #dnd game in :) Arc 1 boss fight concluded!

Yeah maybe itd be better if it was merged or something? Idk, I find it easier to parse numbers in a table than text with comma breaks.
e.g.
Saving Throws: Strength +4, Dexterity +5, Charisma +3
Takes me a good pause to realise wisdom isn't in this list

I watched Passengers (2016) and I struggled to like much about it, but what really bothered me was how forced the premise felt - I was never satisfied by answers given to "why can't we try X and Y to fix this".
It had some good moments of emotion, but it was in service to a really dumb film 3/10

I watched The Greatest Beer Run Ever and I ended up loving this way more than expected! It started out fine, the lead was obnoxious but nuanced, and it got better and better as I watched more.
Insanely interesting premise, based on a true story. Really got into it. 7/10

I watched The Gorge (2025) and it started out really great! I loved the romance that developed in this strange and mysterious scenario but after the half way point, it just devolved into the most generic sci-fantasy action slop...
Would've honestly made a great video game premise tbh - 4/10 movie

I just watched The Wild Robot and I absolutely loved it! I'm a sucker for animation style but this is really the complete package. Endearing characters, high tension, so much heart and soul into what's on screen.
Despite a moment of action that felt out of place, this was a slam dunk 10/10 for me!

I just watched The Six Triple Eight and it was a really really interesting story! I don't normally like these war time movies but this didn't focus on the fighting itself very much.
Unfortunately, as much as I loved the story, it fell completely flat in its directing. 6/10 overall!

Timothy Chamelet does a fantastic job embodying this character and the story was presented in a really engaging way! 7/10

I just watched Lucy and what a bonkers film that was! I don't think I have much to say about it, was fun!
Pretty goofy, meh special effects, bonkers plot, pretty short which is a plus. Probably a high 5/10 for my list. I had a good time :p

I just watched The Only Girl in the Orchestra, and it has a lot in common with The Last Repair Shop from last year. It's short, and if you've got an interest in the orchestra, you'll probably get a lot out of this.
For me, I found this to be quite boring. Not bad, just not enjoyable 4/10

It's Oscars time! I watched Emilia Pérez and wow was that a mess! I kinda loved some of the presentation; the surreal musical opera style, and Zoe's performance was great.
Besides that, the plot was just all over the place with a really unsatisfying resolution and dramatic catharsis.. low 4/10

I just watched Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl and it was wonderful! My boyfriend said it best: "really felt like a classic".
W&G is such a core part of my childhood so I am biased. Very funny and charming; love this silly penguin! And the stop motion is top notch as ever! 8/10

Season 2 of Love Death and Robots had less of the highs and lows, and more just mid-good stuff.
All Through the House was my favourite; fantastic little stop-motion short film!

I watched Mad Max: Fury Road last night and it was awesome! Really cool spectacle, amazing practical effects, I mean, I don't need to sell it do I?
I didn't care much for the reasons behind all the cool stuff happening, and maybe it could've been like half an hour shorter? Very fun time still! 7/10
