So so glad Tayce and Asttina are shedding light on the lack of queer POC representation growing up, which remains an issue across the board now.

Yep. Spielberg nailed it.
Normally when someone says 'gritty revival'. I tend to roll my eyes but it absolutely works here, in dialling up the social unrest that still resonates.
Balls to the male 'lead'. This is the Mike Faist/Rachel Zegler/Ariana DeBose show.

THE MITCHELLS VS THE MACHINES is pure quality.
A rollicking robopocalypse adventure, that is stacked with sumptuous animation + quality turns from its voice cast including a devilish Olivia Colman.
Loved the echoes of 'INTO THE SPIDERVERSE in its colour palette. Get on it. ๐

Ecstatic to report BROS is an absolute riot + one of the best comedies of recent years. Way more thoughtful than the trailers would suggest. So sharp in its takedown of toxic masculinity and internalised homophobia. Super cute when it matters.

THE NORTHMAN. My word.
Immersive soundscape + stunning cinematography draws you into this raging revenge tale rooted in Viking mythology. A hulking Alexander Skarsgard transfixes. Nicole Kidman has a monologue to die for.
A towering piece of cinema. Take a bow Robert Eggers. ๐ฅ

Keep seeing articles about hitting cinemas/theatre on your own.
Never understood the stigma. If mates want to see something with you great. But don't see why you should starve yourself of something you're likely to enjoy. For fear of judgment.
Tend to find it quite liberating.

Cineworld news has knocked me for six. Quite teary.

Kenneth Branagh's BELFAST.

Can't stop thinking about LA CHIMERA. A dense, exquisitely crafted tale of how those 'treasures' of the past, that we seek. Put on a pedestal. Ultimately can't compete with the hidden depths of our love for one person. A lost treasure. That without it. Turns us to stone.
