Shrek 2 2004
Not only one of the greatest sequels ever but also one of my all-time favourites. I once watched it a solid four times in a row when I was having a bad day (don’t think I’ve even watched a movie twice in a row before) and was surprised Netflix didn’t send me a welfare email. So other than (admittedly) lots and lots of nostalgia, what makes it so great?
Well, it manages to accomplish what so many sequels fail at.…

King Kong 2005
Okay, King Kong has absolutely no business being over 3 hours long, but it’s still a fun ride with well-cast characters and surprisingly gory scenes that I’ve come back to many times. Without the massively overstuffed first act before the boat departs it would’ve been miles better.
We aren’t let into Ann Darrow’s character much as she spends the majority of her time on the island screaming her head off, but in her quieter moments Naomi Watts shows a lot…

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri 2017

But it is hindered by its tonal whiplash - dark humour is something that…

The Crush 1993
"I tell you, if you were 10 years older..." 🤮🤮🤮
It’s weird, because that line and Nick’s general creepiness early on is sort of left by the wayside in place of Adrian being portrayed as the only one in the wrong. Though I’m less surprised having found out that the film was based on a true experience by the director who was actually sued by the real girl’s parents during production, forcing any lines with her name being spoken to…

“These are TOR-TI-YAS”
Don’t think I’ve seen Hong Chau in anything else yet (I gave up on Downsizing after 10 minutes) but I’ll be keeping an eye out. She and Ralph Fiennes are easily the standouts, even though I enjoyed every performance. Haven’t seen Nicholas Hoult playing an asshole since his Skins days and I’m here for it.
I found the social critique to be a bit thin and didn’t like that Margot was the only guest, or hell, character,…
