  Paddington 2 2017

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 25 Dec 2020

  A cinematic masterpiece. A true marvel of a sequel. An artist's magnum opus. An artistic piece de resistance.

  Paddington 2 is cinema.

  Black Panther 2018

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 30 Aug 2020 3

  "This movie is fantastic". That was the first sentence I wrote when reviewing this film back when I first saw it. Tuesday the 13th February 2018.

  I had to rewatch this film again today. My 3rd total rewatch. And my feelings on it remain the same 2 years later. Black Panther IS fantastic. It's also beautiful. My review on it 2 years ago remains true.

  Mogul Mowgli 2020

  ★★★★★ Watched 11 Oct 2020

  I'm absolutely astonished... This film is incredible. Well, at least to me it is. At this avenue in my life where I'm about to start film school, witnessed an election where after I started to fall out of love with my country (the country I was born, raised and still live in), learned more about the UK and it's British Empire past and where I really want to understand and be closer to my heritage as a half Tanzanian, quarter…
