5/5

My suspense season continues, and somehow Triangle gets better every time I watch it.

This was my third watch and I enjoyed it just as much as the first. In fact, I’d say it’s one of those films that actually improves with repeat viewings.

Most thrillers lose something once you know the twist.

Triangle does the exact opposite.

Even though I know what’s coming, I still find myself spotting new details, clues and little moments that I completely missed before. It’s the sort of film that rewards you for paying attention, then rewards you again when you watch it a second time.

And then a third.

What starts as a fairly straightforward mystery slowly turns into something much stranger. Just when you think you’ve worked it out, the film changes direction. Then it does it again.

And again.

Without giving anything away, Triangle has one of my favourite endings. Not because it’s shocking for the sake of it, but because it keeps unfolding long after you think it’s about to end.

Every answer seems to create another question.

Every revelation makes you rethink what you’ve already seen.

It’s clever, unsettling and memorable.

The real achievement is that it never feels complicated for the sake of being complicated. There’s a difference between a film that’s confusing and a film that trusts its audience, and Triangle sits in the second category.

By the end, you’ll either be reaching for a notebook to work everything out or immediately starting the film again.

Possibly both.

Just when you think it’s over, it’s only just beginning.

5/5

Right, that’s it. Coherence has officially made its way onto my list of all-time favourite films. 

I first watched it back in 2023 and it absolutely blew my mind. Watching it again reminded me why I loved it so much in the first place. It also confirmed my long-held belief that low-budget films often have the best ideas. 

It sits comfortably alongside films like Primer, Cube and Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes. They all have that same eerie feeling where something isn’t quite right, and the less you know going in, the better. 

What surprised me most was how quickly it hooked me. Within minutes of the dinner party starting, I was already deciding who I liked, who I didn’t trust and who was definitely talking about people behind their backs. For a while, it felt like I was watching an especially awkward episode of The Bear. 

Then the comet arrives. 

And everything changes. 

I’m deliberately avoiding spoilers because this is one of those rare films where discovering what’s happening is half the fun. What starts as a slightly uncomfortable dinner party slowly turns into something much stranger, much cleverer and much more unsettling. 

The tension keeps building, the questions keep coming and every answer somehow creates three new questions. 

By the time the ending arrived, my brain felt like it had been put through a washing machine. 

In the best possible way. 

What made this rewatch even better was watching it with my son, who’s now old enough to appreciate films like this. Seeing somebody experience all those twists and turns for the first time almost felt like watching it for the first time myself. 

If you’ve never seen Coherence, do yourself a favour and go in completely blind. Trust me. 

You’ll be seeing double. 

Or maybe more than double. 

5/5

I absolutely loved this.

More importantly, I'm so glad I got to see it at the cinema. Some films are made for the big screen, and this is definitely one of them.

Monica's billionaire boyfriend from Friends, Jon Favreau, has done it again.

Visually, the film is epic. The story is great, and the pacing feels just right. One of the challenges of turning a TV series into a film is knowing what to cut, but this never felt rushed. Instead, it made excellent use of its runtime to tell a complete story while still giving us plenty of time with everyone's favourite tiny green troublemaker.

And yes, I'm talking about Grogu.

The little green goblin is as cute as ever, and I loved the extra time spent with him. Favreau knows exactly wha he's doing there, and frankly, so do I.

One of the biggest surprises for me was seeing the Razor Crest back in action. As someone who still has the Lego version firmly parked on their wish list, this made me happy. Seeing it souped up by the hilarious Anzellans and their tiny ship only made it better.

The only thing that felt a little strange was hearing the Hutts speak English. I completely understand why they did it. It keeps the story moving and makes things easier for the audience. But after years of subtitles and Huttese, it was a bit like hearing Chewbacca suddenly start speaking in a Yorkshire accent... "Ay'up solo, you deffo did shot first ya bastard".

Overall, this is an excellent Star Wars film that makes full use of the extra time that a cinema release allows. It expands the story, delivers spectacular visuals and gave me plenty to enjoy without forgetting what made the series work in the first place.

This is the way.
5/5

Wow. Wow. Wow.

That's probably the shortest version of this review, but honestly, it sums up my feelings pretty well.

Watching the behind-the-scenes story of how Thriller was made was fascinating from start to finish. I've always loved the music video, but seeing the creativity, hard work and innovation that went into bringing it to life gave me a whole new appreciation for Michael.

The documentary is packed with interesting stories and details. From the special effects to the choreography and the sheer ambition of the project, it's amazing to see what was achieved. What feels normal today was groundbreaking at the time, and it's easy to forget just how revolutionary Thriller was.

One of the things I enjoyed most was learning about the people behind the scenes. It's a reminder that iconic moments don't just happen. They take vision, talent and a lot of hard work from a huge team of people.

I'm especially glad I watched this at the cinema. Seeing it on the big screen made the experience feel much more special. It felt less like watching a documentary and more like being part of a celebration of a piece of music history.

Whether you're a fan of Michael Jackson, music documentaries or simply great filmmaking, this is well worth your time.

Unlike the zombies in Thriller, this is something that has aged exceptionally well.

Nobody is one of those films that sneaks up on you.

I watched this expecting a decent action film and came out wondering why more people aren't talking about it.

Bob Odenkirk is fantastic as Hutch Mansell, an ordinary man with a very extraordinary set of skills. Watching him switch from overlooked family man to absolute force of nature is incredibly satisfying. Every punch feels earned, every action scene lands, and the film never takes itself too seriously.

Then there's Christopher Lloyd.

At an age when most people are deciding what biscuits to have with their tea, Christopher Lloyd turns up and reminds everyone why he's a legend. Every scene he's in is a gift, and he manages to steal attention from a film that's already packed with memorable moments.

The action is brutal, creative and entertaining. It feels messy in the best possible way. People get hurt, and buildings get destroyed.

The biggest question the film leaves unanswered is this: who's cooler, Bob Odenkirk or Christopher Lloyd?

Such a great insight into Eddie, loved this documentary 5/5

Bhaji on the Beach isn't just a film. It's a massive part of British Asian culture.

As Gurinder Chadha's first feature film, it was something special when it was released, and it still holds up today. I have fond memories of going to the local Indian video shop with my dad and renting it. Back then, seeing British Asian stories on screen was still a rarity, which made films like this feel even more important.

What stands out is how many difficult subjects it tackles. Smoking, drinking, dating and family expectations were all sensitive topics for many British Asian families in the 1990s. The film also explores interracial relationships and domestic violence, subjects that can still be uncomfortable conversations in some communities today.

Despite dealing with serious issues, the film never feels heavy-handed. There's plenty of humour, warmth and heart throughout. The characters feel real, flawed and relatable, which is probably why the film has remained so memorable over the years.

As with all of Gurinder Chadha's films, the cinematography is excellent for its time. The soundtrack is great, the cast is superb and everything comes together to create something that still feels fresh more than 30 years later.

It's also always a pleasure to see Zohra Sehgal on screen. She steals every scene she's in, and her Punjabi swearing remains absolutely iconic. 

For me, this is one of the most important British Asian films ever made. It made people laugh, started conversations and showed stories that weren't often seen on screen at the time.

Unlike my local video shop, this film hasn't disappeared with age and I still own the VHS and DVD.
