Absolutely one of the strangest superhero films made in a while, Morbius is a film ultimately exists exclusively because Sony is a stubborn bastard and refuses to let go of the rights to the Spider-Man cast of assorted characters. It's badly written, incomprehensibly edited, and yet, in a weird way, becomes a strangely entertaining experience, the kind of So Bad, It's Amazing realm of ironic cinema that is always a gift to experience. Oddly enough, from a purely technical point of view, director Daniel Espinosa doesn't do an overwhelmingly bad job. He has a distinct visual sense, and, dodgy visual

While carrying with it a trio of stellar performances, and an intriguingly old school kind of winding neo-noir narrative, The Little Things 

An absolutely massive, dreamlike meditation on the soul of man and how warfare affects it, The Thin Red Line announced Terrence Malick’s return to cinema after a twenty year hiatus, and also marked a new shift in his style, hightening the already unique poetic nature of his filming style to new levels, achiving a unique aesthetic that can be described as a visual tone poem, one that quietly breathes with a melancholic, yet utterly enriching awe of everything. One would never know that Malick hadn’t directed a film in twenty years, as his direction is so strikingly immediate and assured,

One of the dominating films of the 1990s, and the film that absolutely solidified David Fincher’s status as a true auteur, Fight Club is a brutally unflinching, shockingly acerbic social commentary-cum-satire, which takes a bloody axe to the various concepts of manhood, society, and the strange materialistic existentialist haze that smothered the late 90s, cofidying it into a film that still, almost twenty years after it’s release, maintains it’s stunningly unique, brutal aura of fanatical deconstructivist nihilism, to the point where it deconstructs itself. Fincher’s direction plays the two hour, twenty minute run time like a crack addict’s redbull fueled

A deliberately disturbing, pitch black social satire on the sheer, overwhelming emptiness of materialism and the Yuppie lifestyle of the 1980s, American Psycho is a deliberately indulgent film, and uses this indulgence to further drive home the depraved, overwhelming madness of the central character, as he becomes a perverted and warped reflection of the ultra superficial and materialistic world he lives in. Directed by Mary Harron, the film is not a film that plays with subtly, but rather uses it's melodrama and hyper stylism for it's benefit. Throughout, Harron and her camera take an axe to Bateman's world of immense

A massive, visually stunning film, Blade Runner 2049 finds director Denis Villenueve following up Ridley Scott's iconic 1982 cyberpunk classic Blade Runner with a new, more surreal and existentialist tone, creating a film that has some truly stunning moments, but suffers from a story that can't quite carry the 2 hour 44 minute running time. It must be said, however, that Villeneuve remains a master at creating impeccably crafted images, and extracting intense, layered nuanced performances from his cast. Coupled with Roger Deakins' absolutely breathtaking cinematography, Villeneuve wisely avoids trying to perfectly mimic Scott's original film, instead creating a film
