"A Japanese remake of Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven. I discovered it at the Busan Film Festival in Korea. It's at the same time faithful to Eastwood's film and entirely personal."

"As close as any film I know to folk art—how this film came about, how it could be the way it is, is a mystery and a miracle."

Honestly a really fun adventure film. I really loved the practicals and how much love was put into this film. I'd be down to watch more of these films.

WOW. This might be the best film of the 2020s. And I already know this is going to be my favorite film of 2024. I'm calling it right now!

I love this film. It is just so magical and innocent at the same time. The world building is great and the effort that went into the making of this film really paid off. It is one of few book to film franchise that I actually enjoy. Sure, the film isn't 100% the same as the book, but it never will be. They are two different platforms.

However, the film itself has some memorable moments and although, for a lot of people I know, this film is one of their least favourite of the series, I think it is one of the best. It is the premise of the entire film. The later films are better in the sense that the plot has thickened, the stakes are higher, and you are more involved with the story-line and the characters. But I could literally quote the entirety of this film, which is something I cannot do with the other Harry Potter films.

Before watching this film, I thought it was a spin-off to the Bad Mom's film series, I did not realise it is actually the sequel to the original film. I was a bit dubious as to how this movie would entertain, as most sequels tend to be worse than the original. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the Christmas version as it bested the first film. In my opinion, the comedy was top-notch (no surprise considering the immense cast). I would definitely recommend this film, though please take note of the age certification - it is 15 for a reason! I don't think you need to have seen the first film in order to watch this sequel. I couldn't remember the content first film despite remembering watching it at the cinema with my mum. There's only one small scene which ties the first film into it but you get the gist of what happened.

Good Sci-fi Action film
A good action film with a few twists. Largely set with a couple on the run after escaping the island. The lead cast bring a touch of class to the story. Slow to start but a good 2nd half of the film.

Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi (2017)
2017 | Action, Sci-Fi
Too many plot lines, desperately needed some script editing, no regard for previous or next film. It did not have an ending, it felt more like the three part opener to a tv series. Lacked a cohesive flow both within the film and as the middle film of a trilogy.

Terrible
Another low budget Horror on Netflix to avoid. Hoped for a decent slasher film in a remote setting. About 5 minutes of a horror film the rest about a bunch of brats messing about alone in a big house in the middle of nowhere.

Beautiful
This is an amazing film. The film is gorgeous and it really covers the material that it focuses on really well. This film is a unique look into how to deal with the pain and hardship of having someone with a deadly disease in the family. Would highly recommend!
