  Dirty Sanchez: The Movie 2006

  ★★★ Watched 02 Dec 2023

  This movie made me feel physically sick several times. Every bodily fluid imaginable is featured at some point of the movie, which makes for some of the most extreme “stunts” ever put to film.
  Several lines are crossed which will probably make this unwatchable to many viewers. Killing animals for entertainment is one of those lines.

  Talk to Me 2022

  ★★★★ Watched 13 Nov 2023

  ★★★ Watched 01 Mar 2020

  The hate this movie is receiving is undeserved in my opinion. 
  I think the anime style has translated pretty well into 3D, and the visuals are actually really stunning. 
  A couple of moments have been changed or removed altogether, but largely the movie is pretty much the same as the original with many shots recreated exactly as they were first time around. 
  Mewtwo Strikes Back is a great feature in the Pokémon series but against the broader spectrum of movies in general it is pretty average.

  Spirited Away 2001

  ★★★★★ Watched 01 Mar 2020

  Spirited Away is an actual masterpiece. This movie was my introduction not only to Studio Ghibli, but to Japanese anime as a whole and it to this day remains my absolute favourite movies.
  Everything about this film is sculpted with such expert precision. From the artwork to the music, the cinematography to the script and narrative; This film steals my breath multiple times with every viewing. 
  It’s fantastical, spiritual, and emotional. I feel thankful for this movie’s existence.
