2020 Reviews – Da 5 Bloods
Spike Lee. Da 5 Bloods. Just following a month of extremely violent racial tension in the US-of-A that vibrated all around the world – yeah, I’d love to talk about it. Let’s try not to piss off a single individual … Continued
2020 Reviews – The Way Back
I unashamedly and unironically made my way back to the cinema to see The Way Back. I made my contactless payment, got my popcorn in a prepacked bag and sat in my isolated seat; it seemed so fitting. The cinemas … Continued

2020 Reviews – Dark Waters
A little titbit about me – I don’t usually go too hard at the cinema in the first few months following Oscar season, knowing that whatever I miss, I’ll be able to catch up on come years end, either through … Continued
