Give it a try only if this isn't your first time watching him
18 April 2024
Like other say this is absolutely not for the faint of heart. If you've watched him before you know what to expect but to be honest there was only about 10 minutes that weren't vulgar and unnecessary sex jokes. I've seen all of his other specials and I do love the guy, which is why I hate to say this was disappointing. He can do better than this, and yes his thing is to deliberately cross the line. I have a dark sense of humor but even this was too much. It's not his best material and it's not for everyone. His worst special by far. I can't recommend enough if you're going to watch this wear headphones or risk people you live with who are easily offended and cannot understand the concept that he doesn't mean what he's saying and only joking. I recommend giving it a try but NOT if this is your first time watching him.

Oppenheimer (I) (2023)
10/10
Best Film I've ever seen. Nolan has outdone himself
29 November 2023
From the very beginning this movie pulls you in and you are left at the edge of your seat the entire 3 hours. First it doesn't feel like 3 hours all. Then the movie will stay with you for weeks afterwards. The timing for a movie like this is perfect as it has been said Sam Altman (the man mostly responsible for this revolution in AI we are all undoubtedly aware of) is a modern Oppenheimer in many ways. Not only this but I felt it was redemption for the man himself.

I cannot recommend enough, due to the fact that many people have called this movie (boring) to read up on the manhattan project and J Robert Oppenheimer before watching. Read American Prometheus if you have the time or watch one of the many documentaries. It's worth doing as it enhances the experience even more. Consider the impact such a thing has had on the world. You do that and I just don't understand how anybody could possibly find this movie boring in any way.

Cillian Murphy's performance is truly remarkable and he has earned his Oscar for this. In fact the entire cast really are at their best in this film. I thought I'd struggle watching Robert Downey Junior play anything other than Iron Man, let alone the bad guy in any film but he really nailed his role as Strauss. It should be mandatory viewing in my opinion for anyone and I truly cannot recommend this film enough. Christopher Nolan has never really disappointed and this is his masterpiece. I can't wait to see what he does next.

The Terror (2018–2025)
10/10
A masterpiece. A MUST watch
11 April 2018
This show is stunning. The acting, the atmosphere, even the music, it's all perfection. I cannot overstate the quality of this show. First episode and I was hooked, and it just kept getting better and better. If I could I would go into my own pockets to pay for a second season. Normally I don't write reviews, but this is hands down the best show I've seen in my life. Game of thrones, taboo, Vikings, Rome...Yes these shows are great. But the terror surpasses them all. This sets the new standard for television.
