📽️ #MovieChallenge Week 29✅ - Metamorphosis

A shapeshifting twist on an Exorcism. Bit slow and predictable, but with some deeply creepy scenes 😱

📽️ #MovieChallenge Week 17✅ The Room Next Door (2024)

Pedro Almodóvar’s contemplative movie about death and friendship. I kept expecting it to take a film noir turn, that it unfortunately did not. Left me meh.

📽️ #MovieChallenge Week 17✅ ‘Next Sohee’ (2022)

Bae Doona is a female detective who traces the cause of high school girl's death. She faces the truth of the harsh reality of a shockingly broken system that strips hope and humanity from the most vulnerable.

📽️ #MovieChallenge Week 15✅ ‘The Golden GLOVE’ (2019)

Although not overtly graphic, this was so revolting you could almost smell the stench off the screen🤢
All the worse upon realising that it was based on a real life German serial killer. You’ll want a shower after this.

📽️ #MovieChallenge Week 14✅ ‘Burning’

Captivating, exploring mysteries and class struggles, with hefty metaphors and symbolism that had me running to Reddit for clarity. This is a slow burn that is hauntingly engrossing, that I’m looking forward to watching again and again.

📽️ #MovieChallenge Week 14✅ ‘The Tower’ (2012)

This Korean ‘Towering Inferno’ is a rollercoaster ride, fantastic sfx with characters you care about 🔥🔥🔥

I’m not so sure I’ll ever feel the same way about glass elevators or skywalks again 😱

📽️ #MovieChallenge Week 14✅ ‘Ashfall’ (2019)

A rock-solid disaster spectacle, patently ludicrous but entertaining 🔥

📽️ #MovieChallenge Week 14✅ ‘Fahrenheit 451’ (2018)

I’m not a purist when it comes to book adaptations, but the changes here are nonsensical. They literally burned Ray Bradbury’s novel and replaced it with social media nonsense instead of social commentary.

David Jonsson says they shot the new ‘THE LONG WALK’ movie chronologically, with some shoot days including having to walk 10-15 miles.

Wha? ‘The Long Walk’ AND ‘The Running Man’? Be still my beating heart 🤯

📽️ #MovieChallenge 2025 - Week 14

Where we live the clocks have changed, the winter weather seems to be behind us, and the days getting warmer which inspires this week's "Fire" challenge.

📽️ #MovieChallenge Week 13 ✅ ‘Birdy’ (1984)

I wanted to like this more than I actually did.
Alan Parker really did do some amazing shots (considering drones didn’t exist).

📽️ #MovieChallenge Week 13
✅ ‘The Boy and the Heron’ (2023)
Japanese manga master Hayao Miyazaki, 83, came out of retirement for this hand-drawn beauty. Seemed fitting to watch it this week with all that’s happened.

📽️ #MovieChallenge Week 13 ✅
🔁‘Black HAWK Down’ (2001)

Still one of the most realistic depictions of ground force combat. An absolute powerhouse of a cast (including baby faced Tom Hardy and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau)🤯

📽️ #MovieChallenge Week 13 ✅
‘Earthquake BIRD’ ‘2019’

A pedestrian thriller, Alicia and Riley did their best with a plodding script. The star being the beautiful cinematography showcasing the tranquil side of Japan rarely seen on screen.

📽️ #MovieChallenge Week 13 ✅ ‘First Reformed’ 2018
Ethan HAWKe in a standout performance as a Priest in a crisis of faith, colliding with modern environmentalism.

I saw my first Skinhead when out shopping yesterday. Fat bloke, tattoos, braces and Union Jack on his T-shirt 🇬🇧

I stopped in the aisle and didn’t break eye contact with him as he went past. Not one other person batted an eyelid at seeing him.

Sick that this is normal in 2025.
