    Twin Peaks: The Return

    ★★★★★

    Hi, all

    I've finally written my second piece on Medium, this time about Twin Peaks and it being the greatest piece of television ever. Had a lot of fun watching it all, and also writing on it. This piece is less an analytical critique or examination of the franchise, and more so me expressing my admiration for it. Again, if you're interested at all, it would be very much appreciated if you'd give it a read.

    Thanks, and cheerio :))

    The Criterion Challenge 2024

    I have many thoughts and many feelings, but I honestly have not nearly as much to say. Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me has been on my backlog for about 2 years now. I had the intention of watching it after rewatching the original series, which I absolutely love (and is the answer I generally give when asked, "what's your favourite TV show?"). However, this plan was delayed constantly, due to my procrastination, mind you, and…

    The Criterion Challenge 2025

    Hitchcock meets MTV. Hollywood is porn. What Brian De Palma perhaps does best in Body Double—his most overt homage to the "Master of Suspense"—is in fact the titular idea of bodies and doubles. Fundamentally inspired by and derived from the likes of Rear Window and Vertigo, most notably, indeed referencing their plot set-ups, their visual iconography, and their reflections on culture, but still remaining equally unique to De Palma's contemporary, postmodernist sensibilities. The film posits itself…

    The Criterion Challenge 2025

    Ever the technical virtuoso, Sir Alfred Hitchcock flexed each muscle with pinpoint accuracy in his 1951 classic, Strangers on a Train. Adapted alongside Whitfield Cook from Patricia Highsmith's novel of the same name, with the screenplay initially to be penned by the eminent Raymond Chandler, only for his and Hitchcock's amity and collaborative relationship to disintegrate almost immediately, and then eventually written by Czenzi Ormonde, the film undoubtedly falls under the auteur's finest cinematic achievements. Much…

    The Batman

    ★★★★

    I always had faith. I didn't expect a masterpiece or the greatest comic book movie ever made. I expected a freshly stylised take on Batman, with great performances and atmosphere, and that's what we got. Nitpicks and minor flaws aside, I'm glad that my faith was not let down.

    Long live Battinson.
