Methinks this could be the dark horse in the Oscar race this year. I could easily see Moore and Portman getting nominated and I wouldn’t be surprised if Charles Melton actually wins for this. His final scene might be the most haunting thing I’ve seen all year.

The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes 2023
This actually felt a little epic?? I love the structure of it despite it feeling a little tedious towards the end. Rachel Zegler was outstanding and Tom Blyth was a strong lead too. Viola Davis is good in everything I see her in.
Catching Fire is still probably the strongest but this is the second best out of the 5 imo.

All of Us Strangers 2023
This year’s Aftersun (but better) and it has actually many ‘under pressure’ scenes. Every song choice was perfect. Frankie Goes To Hollywood’s The Power of Love is one of my favourite songs oat so it was a joy seeing it used here so effectively. This is the best I’ve ever seen of Andrew Scott, Claire Foy and Jamie Bell.
My favourite movie of the year.

Poor Things 2023
Ngl a little tiring to watch. Beginning of the second act almost put me to sleep multiple times but probably didn’t help that I was already very tired. The movie picks itself up again considerably in the last hour or so for me.
Some jokes in this are all-timers and some are flat out annoying.
Mark Ruffalo didn’t work for me at all. Any scene he was in was the worst part of the movie. And it’s quite the contrary…

Halloween Kills 2021
Final movie for this Halloween. This was amazing on first watch now it’s just pretty good to me. Kinda wished Ends never existed and the third act of that movie was just added onto the end of this movie…
