My ★★★★½ review of Memento on Letterboxd

Astonishing movie this, really took me by surprise. From the very start to the end, I was gripped and trying to figure out what was going on. Christopher Nolan is A+++

A ★★★★½ review of Memento (2000)

Amazing puzzling film, which has you guessing at every turn, with an intriguing story told in reverse. Christopher & Jonathan Nolan are truly the epic cinematic duo.

My ★★★★ review of Warfare on Letterboxd

Exceeded my expectations when I watched this, fully thought it'd just be an alright movie. But was actually quite suspenseful throughout.

Loved the tension throughout and obviously based on a true story makes it even better.

My ★★★★ review of Novocaine on Letterboxd

Really enjoyed this movie, had good humour throughout. Secretly hoping that there is a sequel on the horizon, although not too sure what the story would be 🤣

A ★★★★ review of Novocaine (2025)

Absolute must watch, was slow in the beginning, but once it got to the fight scenes, couldn't stop laughing and gasping 🤣 How lovely it'd be to only view getting injured as an inconvenience.

My ★★★ review of Twelve Monkeys on Letterboxd

Enjoyed this movie quite a bit, excellent set design, but intrigued to see what the sets would look like with today's special effects, if it got a remake.

A ★★★ review of Twelve Monkeys (1995)

Very gritty and dark film from the onset. Great set designs and world building throughout.

My ★★ review of The Days Ahead on Letterboxd

Had great potential and a unique concept. But ultimately was a missed opportunity. Although I do hope one day a big studio develops their own version of this film.

A ★★ review of The Days Ahead (2025)

Some pretty bad acting and camerawork. Also the set design could've been better, given the atmosphere the film was trying to make. I couldn't help but feel like that it wasn't taking place in the afte...

A ★★★★ review of Alien: Romulus (2024)

Finally a proper alien film after the prequel movies. Enjoyed the intensity and effects of this film. Although the cgi de-aging of the android actor could be better 🤣

My ★★★★ review of Synchronic on Letterboxd

A unique concept of time travel, honestly wish the film went on longer too, to explore the story further.

Honestly don't understand why people didn't like this, thought it was actually quite funny 🤣 Sure the plot is a bit over the place, but the humour by Michael Keatin deffo makes up for it.

My ★★★½ review of Until Dawn on Letterboxd

Was an alright film, but was quite boring until near the end. The monster effects and jumpscares were enjoyable though, hence the higher rating.
