  Anora 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 11 Mar 2025

  A riveting update on the Pretty Woman trope, I liked a lot about this film. Above all else though, it’s definitely an effective advert for cigarettes.

  Sin City 2005

  ½ Watched 11 Mar 2025

  Biiiiiig yikes throughout.

  Painfully misogynistic and just full of gaping plot holes. 

  However, LOVE that Bruce Willis survived countless gun shots fairly un-phased, but was completely floored by indigestion.

  Ran 1985

  ★★★★½ Watched 01 Apr 2024

  Outside of the montage-y battle scenes, I loved everything about this film: the endless sea of bald caps; the wigs; the costumes in general; the prolonged periodic shuffling of characters across the screen; the horse’s drip; the rolling hills and fluffy clouds; the red paint, what a visually stunning almost-3-hours!

  Nosferatu 2024

  ★★★ Watched 15 Jan 2025

  I really don’t think much would have had to change for this film to be a comedy. Just a goofy little romp with great costumes, humorous voices, translator nuns, and charmingly reductive views on rat-carried plagues (only a couple of hundred years after the Black Death ravaged Germany, where this tale takes place). 

  One question remains though. Why would Nosferatu have a mirror in his castle, which Thomas so foolishly smashed? What need would a Vampire have for this in his home? The thought of someone who confesses to be “an appetite. Nothing more” checking their look is indeed amusing, but feels a bit sloppy.
