  Suicide Club 2001

  ★★★★ Rewatched 22 Feb 2025

  Sits alongside Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s Pulse (which came out in the same year!) as an important and prescient examination of why the internet should have been turned off a long time ago.

  Dark Star 1974

  ★★★ Watched 29 Jan 2025

  Comes alive particularly at the end when a man tries a defuse a sentient bomb by talking it into an existential crisis. There are a few other amazing ideas like this but not enough for a full-length feature. Worth a watch if you love John Carpenter and want to see where it all started.

  ★ Watched 19 May 2023

  Probably twelve separate moments where I thought this could actually be the stupidest film ever.

  Jaws 1975

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 18 Aug 2023

  Took summer into my own hands and lived it vicariously through this movie. Our adorable big boy, Jaws, briefly replaced the weather as the only wet grey ominous presence in my life.
