Along_the_Wire you really have to love genre-films to enjoy this, would not recommend it to you at all.
Thereās a great nod to The Faculty (1999) in it for fuckās sake.

Warfare (2025) 7/10:
Saw this at the Electric this evening. Alex Garlands āwritesā and directs with the help of ex-vet Ray Mendoza a real life event in Ramadi from the Iraq war circa 2006. Feels a lot like a slightly lower budget version of Black Hawk Down, but the building of tension is good and the fighting to me at least seems realistic. I think Garland wrote this movie as an honorarium to those who fought in this battle and as such it lacks any plot or significant character development, but maybe this in itself is the message. Itās gritty and bleak and good on a big screen.
Aside from Ex Machina, I think his films stink.
Along_the_Wire Iām also not a fan of anything since that but this was OK though.
Wasily canāt say fairer than that
K-Pax
A bit schmaltzy and very much of itās time (2000) with the soundtrack and the way itās shot. Kevin Spacey puts in a typical arty performance. Decent long haul fodder imo. 6.5/10
Nosferatu. Odd. First Robert Eggers film Iāve seen, and I can see why heās divisive. Very much a slow burn of a movie, quite liked the dark, gothic styling. Decent cast. 6/10.
Sinners is definitely a cool movie, the same kinda cool when you watch a good Guy Ritchie gangster movie. Itās just all over the place and itās trying to do and say way too many things. And Iām sorry, but the whole ācenterpieceā musical scene midway, that everyone seems to be raving about was corny. The river dance vampires also felt like a force fit and random. Having said that, itās entertaining and all the characters are a ton of fun. The main problem is the plot becomes a shit show in the second half after a brilliant set up. Music was good, but if weāre comparing, A Complete Unknown was much better in that department.
7.2 / 10
rhouses my wife had similar feelings about transported through time-music number, but itās the main reason Iām thinking about going to see it again in cinema. Though I doubt Iāll have time, got tickets to see The Amateur, Black Bag, The Thing (1982), Accountant 2 and Thunderbolts* all in the next 10 days.
Along_the_Wire Annihilation and Civil War were my favorites from the years they came out. Us Garland-heads are few, but proud.
Still not seen Men, even though I own it.
Warfare is insanely good, the people complaining about it being army propaganda and offended by the footage of the crew at the end, are the reason why Donald Trump is in office.
Ex Machina probably sits on top. Have no issues with Civil War, tense and it felt weirdly like a very real future. Struggled with Men, thought it was pretty shit but still found it very creepy. Couldnt get passed 30 mins of Annihilation, but maybe ill give it another go.
