  No One Will Save You 2023

  ★★★★ Watched 25 Sep 2023 2

  An absolute travesty this isn’t in cinemas. Disney pulling yet another stupid decision out of their arse, cause this is exactly the kind of thing that would’ve killed. Horrors always make money and even more when they’re actually good. No one will save you is a fantastic alien abduction movie, with nice scares and some great deeper thoughts. Really pleased with this.

  Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban 2004

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 11 Nov 2020

  Why So Sirius?
  The Prisoner of Azkaban is the huge step forward in legitimising this franchise as something to be taken seriously in tone and storytelling. With Mexican auteur, Alfonso Cuarón coming in to take the helm of Harry's story, he brings with him a subtle, personal beauty behind the magic. A brilliant and mature coming-of-age tale, while also being an epic adventure showcase, Azkaban is a great deal darker and considerably more serious than the previous two films, but even so it's still beaming with more life and love than ever before.

  The ones that love us never really leave us.
