					<description><![CDATA[Watching Ennio was like a quick refresher on the Westerns of the 1960s so it&#8217;s fascinating to compare them to McCabe &#38; Mrs. Miller. In making this, Robert Altman&#8217;s guiding principle seems to have been to identify the common tropes of the genre and do the exact opposite. This plays out so slowly and unremarkably &#8230; <a href="https://calltoreason.org/?p=79851" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">McCabe &#38; Mrs. Miller (1971)</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Looking through the body of work of Hirokazu Kore-eda, this film starring Catherine Deneuve, Juliette Binoche and Ethan Hawke sticks out like a sore thumb. I have no idea how he even managed to write the script but this is indeed a perfectly cromulent French film. It also falls in line with the director&#8217;s other &#8230; <a href="https://calltoreason.org/?p=79778" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">The Truth (2019)</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

I must have seen Airplane! as a child at some point and I keep coming across clips of it online but it was worthwhile for me to watch the whole thing as an adult.

					<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve watched two of Chong Keat Aun&#8217;s films so far and loved both. This was enough to make me consider me the best Malaysian director at the moment. Unfortunately despite Mother Bhumi being a higher profile work starring international star Fan Bingbing, it counts as striking out for me.

					<description><![CDATA[This biographical documentary of the life and work of Ennio Morricone was released a year after the legendary composer&#8217;s death. I don&#8217;t know when exactly the interviews with him were filmed and I&#8217;d imagine they must have taken place over an extended period. But I can&#8217;t help but feel that Giuseppe Tornatore finished this just &#8230; <a href="https://calltoreason.org/?p=79600" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Ennio (2021)</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I always love weird, inventive games and that this one is in the underserved investigative genre makes it a must try for me. The issue with the genre is that cases are usually handcrafted and the process of solving them plays out like a linear adventure game with a small cast of characters.

					<description><![CDATA[The first Zootopia was a pleasant surprise but that this sequel was a far bigger success was even more surprising being the top grossing film in the US for 2025. To me this is almost the same film with the same core message, except bigger, more frenetically paced and almost painfully vibrant.

					<description><![CDATA[My wife insisted on watching this in the cinemas, believing that we ought to give local directors a chance. This is the directorial debut of Tham Wai Fook, who is arguably a friend of a friend, and he has apparently been wanting to turn his script into a film for over a decade.
