  The Thin Red Line 1998

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 01 Jul 2012 72

  
  I heard people talk about immortality,
  but I ain't seen it.
  l wondered how it'd be when l died.
  What it'd be like to know that this breath now
  was the last one you was ever gonna draw.
  l just hope l can meet it the same way she did.
  With the same... calm.
  Cos that's where it's hidden -
  the immortality l hadn't seen.
  

  What's it like to be lying in the middle of an unfamiliar jungle with birds…

  The Life List 2025

  ★★★½ Watched 08 Apr 2025

  I quite enjoyed this tale of a daughter who is forced to go out of her comfort zone. I wasn't a huge fan of Sophia Carlson as the lead, not because she was terrible or anything, not at all, she just didn't exude a personality. I loved Connie Britton as the mother, probably because I always confuse her with Katharine Ross - I think it is the hairline. And what can I say, I had an immediate crush on the…

  Picture This 2025

  ★½ Watched 14 Mar 2025 1

  I liked Simone Ashley in Bridgerton, and I'm NOT saying I have thing for Hero Fiennes Tiffin cause he's way to young so not saying that at all. I need to add that I can watch rom-coms for months on end, but even I have standards. And this one was just awful. Not 1 star terrible, not exactly a Hallmark, but it just didn't come together at all. There are very few scenes with the two characters together, and because…

  Dogtooth 2009

  ★★★★½ Watched 14 Feb 2011 53

  Dogtooth is disturbing. It creeps into your psyche and stays there for days. It plays like an absurdist comedy at first but quickly shows its true colours. It is a gripping, compelling, shocking and extremely sad story of three nameless nearly adult children who live in a world created exclusively by their parents.

  By "nameless" I don't mean that we are never told their names; I mean they have no names. The implications of this are enormous (take a minute…

  Man of Steel 2013

  ★★ Watched 25 Jul 2014 114

  There is a scene in Man of Steel that says it all.

  In the middle of a showdown with the bad guys in downtown Metropolis with people everywhere, a flaming truck or some other huge thing is thrown towards Superman who is standing in front of a building. A building presumably filled with people.

  Superman jumps out of the way.
  He jumps out of the way.
  Superman.

  The truck goes into the building destroying I don't how many floors killing…
