  M3GAN 2022

  ★★½ Watched 24 Jan 2023

  46/100

  Stuck in the middle of appealing to general audiences and satisfying its grisly potential, culminating in something a bit toothless. It's never boring though, and the sprinkles of weird humour give it a rare slice of personality for a January horror release. I just wish there was a commitment to something harsher, because the way it sanitizes the thrills is antithetical to its inherent eccentricity. You can feel the film wanting to let loose and relish in mayhem, but it always hits a rating roadblock and has to circle back to being unremarkable.

But whilst these films are beyond excellent, I always watch The Polar Express. I think I'm in the minority here when I say that The Polar Express is my favourite Christmas film. I find that it encapsulates the feeling and the spirit that exists at this time of year like no other movie. I really connected with…

  Natural Born Killers 1994

  ★★★★½ Watched 10 May 2014 12

  At a glance, Natural Born Killers has the potential to mislead. What seems like a full-blooded thriller packed with gratuitous brutality is in fact more profound; more intelligent than what its exterior and hateful critics may imply. It's personality is satirical, predominantly lampooning the media for their embracement of serial killers and near veneration of the activities they conduct - all done for the sake of ratings. Oliver Stone is clearly a staunch combatant of such behaviour and as we…
