Theatrical trailer

Deep in the heart of Jakarta's slums lies an impenetrable safe house for the world's most dangerous killers and gangsters. Until now, the rundown apartment block has been considered untouchable. Cloaked under the cover of pre-dawn darkness and silence, an elite SWAT team is tasked with raiding the safe house in order to take down the notorious drug lord that runs it. But when a chance encounter with a spotter blows their cover and news of their assault reaches the drug lord, they find themselves stranded on the 6th floor with no way out. The unit must fight their way through the city's worst to survive their mission.

Pre-order The Raid: Redemption.

This man has become something of a legend in the underworld.  Pushers, gangs, killers, they all respect him like a god.  For the past ten years, his building has been a no-go zone for police.

More films I've watched recently that I haven't had time to post about...

Masters degrees are hard and I have barely any time to watch films, let alone do reviews with much detail... so here are a few lines about films I've seen recently.

Only Lovers Left Alive (2013): Very aesthetic, moments I really connected with. No ending... but I've been told that's the point. 3/5 stars.

Four Rooms (1995): Delightfully weird. I had a really good time watching this. Each 'mini-film' was interesting and weird, felt like a stage play for the screen. I do kind of wish they'd dialled down the main characters weirdness at the start and made him more and more odd as each film went on and he became less in touch with reality. 4/5 stars.

Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021): It was fun, but to me, it was just another spider-man film. And this wasn't one of my favourite versions of that, it really seemed to drag out. Cool that all 3 of the spider-men we have seen from the last few years were on one screen though. 2/5 stars.

The Raid Redemption (2011): Absolutely phenomenal fight choreography. It could have become really boring as this film is just action, action, action, in one location, but somehow I was engaged the whole time. Wonderful filmmaking. 4.5/5 stars.

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (2022): Very funny, deliberately weird, and I do love an actor that can poke fun at themselves. The acid scene had me in stitches. 3.5/5 stars.

How to Please a Woman (2022): A film that I felt was very out of touch and potentially problematic. While discussing it with my girlfriend, I called it the "gentrification of sex work" and I stand by that. The comedy doesn't land, and the drama doesn't work because it's trying to be a comedy. 1/5 stars.

Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022): Clever, insightful, funny and moving. I cried because I can see my mother in this even across a cultural divide. This is a well shot and edited film with heart and humour. 4.5/5 stars.

Hopefully I'll be back to doing regular, longer reviews soon, but I make no promises!

The Christmas/New Years period is a weird time. It seems like half the population has their routines screwed up by having an extended holiday which they feel obliged to fill with a bunch of extra shopping and social events. The other half of the population has the same obligations but is to trying to fit it around having to spend even more time at work than usual. Then when I … wait I mean the second half of the population finally does get some time off they fill it with so many trips and catch-ups and events and much needed rest that I … they still can’t get back into the routines they were trying to build. Like say, hypothetically, writing a newsletter every fortnight.

On an unrelated note, here are some thoughts I quickly jotted down about eleven films I’ve seen this year.
