Watched this again to remind myself the origin stories of Wanda and Vision, as I’m loving WandaVision. It’s good, but not great.
The Visit, 2015 – ★★★
Creepy as hell
Behind Her Eyes, 2021 – ★★★
I’m really not sure what to rate this.
It was very well made, I thought. A bit too long perhaps, but that worked to build tension.
I knew there was going to be a big twist because Netflix have been tweeting about it so much. I’d have rather not known, because I spent a lot of time trying to guess the twist (and it’s not really something you can guess!) but I suppose I may not have persevered with it if I wasn’t looking forward to the ending (though what does that say about the pacing?).
There are also some problematic elements about the ending, which others have explained quite well.
I’m still unsure. I’m glad I watched it, it was a very interesting experience. I’m just not sure it was good.
Us, 2019 – ★★★½
Creepy as hell. Some really interesting ideas. I think I need to watch it again before I fully get it.
Gladiator, 2000 – ★★★½

Onward, 2020 – ★★★★
This was very sweet
Spree, 2020 – ★★
I feel really dirty after seeing this.
A Nightmare on Elm Street, 2010 – ★★½
Not as bad as people say. But pretty bad.
Aliens, 1986 – ★★★★½
**Get away from her, you bitch!**
V for Vendetta, 2005 – ★★★★★
Can’t believe this was made 16 years ago, it could be describing the British government today.
Ringu, 1998 – ★★★
I feel like I would like this a lot more if The Ring wasn’t one of my favourite movies that I’ve seen loads of times. I just kept comparing it to the American version and I like that one better, sorry!
Alien, 1979 – ★★★★★
This review may contain spoilers.
A classic. But honestly when the Alien first bursts from the chest, and later when it is napping, it is so cute!

The ‘Burbs, 1989 – ★★½
I remember seeing this when I was younger. It's not that good, but brings back some funny memories!
Evil Dead II, 1987 – ★★★½
This was a lot of fun!
The Phantom of the Opera, 2004 – ★★★

Train to Busan, 2016 – ★★★★

I don’t really get it 😞

The Social Dilemma, 2020 – ★★★
We’re all doomed
It’s a Sin, 2021 – ★★★★★
Absolutely devastating. So important that we remember what happened. Now I’m gonna go cry some more.
Tower Block, 2012 – ★★
This review may contain spoilers.
It was a good setup but the ending really ruined it for me. Plus why didn't they try going out a back window from the ground floor?
Beware the Slenderman, 2016 – ★★½
I didn’t know what to expect, and actually for a while thought this was fiction. The truth of it is quite shocking. The documentary is a bit too long and unfocused. Such a terrible tragedy for everyone involved.

Return of the Jedi, 1983 – ★★★★½
Actually this is the best Star War so far. I don’t care what anyone says, Ewoks are the best.
This was a really good one. Despite it being 6 episodes it was very fast paced and exciting. Even if the monster was a bit silly!
The Empire Strikes Back, 1980 – ★★★★½
The best Star War yet
Star Wars, 1977 – ★★★½
The first Star War. Not actually as good as I remember. And the new CGI added in sticks out like a sore thumb. I know this is probably sacrilegious but I found it all a bit meh.
The best of the prequel movies
Into the Woods, 2014 – ★★★½
I know it butchers the original’s ending and plot really, and the last half hour is bleak and boring, but I just love the songs!

So cute, funny, awkward, sad. I loved it ❤️
Into the unknown
What do you want? ‘Cause you’ve been keeping me awake
Are you here to distract me so I make a big mistake?
Or are you someone out there who’s a little bit like me?
Who knows deep down I’m not where I’m meant to be?
Every day’s a little harder as I feel your power grow
Don’t you know there’s part of me that longs to go…
INTO THE UNKNOWN!
Parasite, 2019 – ★★★★★
I went into this blind, knowing only how highly rated it was. It deserves all the praise. Masterpiece!
