The Animatrix 2003
Actually really good. Animation is (mostly) stunning and the world building is genuinely fascinating. Great companion piece to the first movie. Some very creepy concepts in here that kept me thinking in the same way the original movie does. Worth a watch.

The Death of Dick Long 2019
A surprisingly disturbing story with some genuinely hilarious moments and mostly great performances, it loses steam after the hour mark but it's still entertaining the entire way through. Very inspired by the Coen brothers but unfortunately never quite reaches the same heights. I particularly liked the dialogue here and most of the characters are suitably memorable for their distinct idiosyncrasies. Worth a watch. A24 continues to release some of the weirdest and most interesting films around.

Klaus 2019
Breathtaking animation and character design. Really enjoyed this despite some bizarre music choices and a pretty familiar story. Lots of treasure planet in this movie too if that means anything to you. Shame the only way to get films like this is to make them Christmas themed and aimed for children.

Doctor Sleep 2019
More King than Kubrick, yet slavishly reverent to the 1980 classic. Honestly I was kind of bored, it has its moments but I cannot recommend anyone rushing out to see this in theatres. Overly long, much more of a thriller than a horror movie, can’t say I was ever frightened. More of a superhero/vampire movie than anything else believe it or not. Rent this.
