Awards Season… Movie #24 2023: All Quiet on the Western Front (2022) 26 Mar 202322 Mar 2023 Google 'Best War Movies'. Nine times out of ten, you'll see classics like Full Metal Jacket, Saving Private Ryan, Apocalypse Now, The Thin Red Line and others of a similar…
Art House… Movie #19 2023: Causeway (2022) 12 Mar 20238 Mar 2023 Today's the day: it's the evening of the 95th Academy Awards. Whilst ultimately awards ceremonies mean very little in the grand scheme of things, there's no doubt that the majority…
Action… Movie #18 2023: Saving Private Ryan (1998) 10 Mar 20236 Mar 2023 Yeeeeeah, so I may have seen The Fabelmans and decided that I'd not seen enough Spielberg films. It's funny really, because I've actually seen about half of his filmography, from…
Biographical… Movie #16 2023: The Fabelmans (2022) 6 Mar 20233 Mar 2023 Here's the thing with Steven Spielberg: even his worst films are still pretty good. I loved The Terminal, I even liked Ready Player One, and I know some of his…

Art House… Movie #14 2023: Aftersun (2022) 2 Mar 202328 Feb 2023 Aftersun is a special movie. I won't beat around the bush here. It was one of those rarities in that at first, I had no idea what I was watching.…
Art House… Movie #13 2023: TÁR (2022) 28 Feb 202327 Feb 2023 Some loved it, some hated it. I'm actually going to side with the former on this occasion in that Tár is probably one of my favourite 'First Watches' of the…
Animation… Movie #10 2023: Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio (2022) 22 Feb 202322 Feb 2023 The Best Animated Feature Film nominations are truly insane this year. Usually, it's a category that has one clear frontrunner with one dark horse following it, with the others often…
Classics… Movie #6 2023: Thelma & Louise (1991) 9 Feb 20236 Feb 2023 Yes, I know I'm supposed to be getting through the Oscar nominees. But in my defence, Thelma & Louise was on terrestrial TV last week and it felt rude not…
Awards Season… Movie #5 2023: The Banshees of Inisherin (2022) 7 Feb 20236 Feb 2023 It's been a minute since I had any time to review anything here. Since I last posted, the full Oscars shortlist was announced, meaning - of course - that I…
