Teeny Tiny Film Reviews | Six

It's that time again. I've watched and gathered a lot of films recently and the list in my bullet journal is bulging. I'm really pleased because I told myself at the start of the year I'd like to consume more films and I've done just that. These are a right ol' mixture, some classics that passed me by during my childhood and some recents that I actually paid good money to see in the cinema. I think I'm going to do this in two parts again because this list is hella' long. So grab a blanket cocoon and a big ol' mug of peppermint tea and let the credits roll:

Teeny Tiny Film Reviews | Part I

I've recently been able to download Netflix onto my ancient Xbox 360, which means I can watch films on an actual telly again, it's great. I've been putting a lot of films on in the background recently whilst doing other things and I have a racked up a plentiful amount of films to talk about. I also have been going to the cinema rather a lot as well so here is part one of a  mixture of old and new teeny tiny film reviews:

Captain Fantastic__________________________________________________________________

"The powerful control the lives of the powerless. That's the way the world works. It's unjust and it's unfair. But that's just too damn bad. We have to shut up and accept it. Well, fuck that!"

- wholesome, feelgood & thoughtful

☽☽☽☽☽☽☽☽☽ - 9 moons 

Eye in the Sky_____________________________________________________________________

"Never tell a soldier that he does not know the cost of war."

- tense, questioning morality & shows a modern,voyeuristic society

☽☽☽☽☽☽☽☽ - 8 moons

A Cure for Wellness________________________________________________________________

"Do you know what the cure for the human condition is? Disease. Because that's the only way one could hope for a cure."

- Unsettling, beautiful cinematography, elongated ending

☽☽☽☽☽☽ - 6 moons

The Sweet Life____________________________________________________________________

"Not having sex with you was the best sex I've ever had."

- try-hard, funny in places but mostly missed humour

☽☽☽ - 3 moons

Wonder Woman___________________________________________________________________

"I will fight for those who cannot fight for themselves."

- ultimately feminist, refreshing but still too action packed

☽☽☽☽☽☽☽☽ - 8 moons

War Machine__________________________________________________________________

"Ah, America. You beacon of composure and proportionate response, you bringer of calm and goodness to the world... What do you do when the war you're fighting just can't possibly be won in any meaningful sense?"

- jilted script, obvious humour & hyped-masculinity 

☽☽ - 2 moons

Okja__________________________________________________________________________

"I admire your conviction, Silver, but your pallid complexion concerns me."

- harrowing, thought provoking, a clever & accurate reflection of the meat industry & desensitisation in humans

☽☽☽☽☽☽☽☽☽☽ - 10 moons

Spiderman Homecoming ________________________________________________________

"If you're nothing without this suit, then you shouldn't have it."

- enjoyable, youthful & still nostalgic

☽☽☽☽☽☽☽☽☽ - 9 moons

So that's the first part of this extensive list of films I have watched recently, I told you it was a real mixture and part 2 is even more of a conglomoration. I thought I had quite specific film taste, maybe not. Have you watched any of these films?
