    Your Vice Is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key

    ★★★

    Just how many members of her extended family can Edwige Fenech sleep with…?

    Stay tuned.

    Godzilla Minus One

    ★★★★

    Completely floored by this one. A Godzilla movie with real emotional depth and visual sophistication? One which acknowledges and pays homage to the original without being a cloying hanger-on? My God!(zilla)—it's even well acted! Yeah, it's clunky in parts, sure,—and it's melodramatic as hell. But it has to be—it's a fucking monster movie! And a damn good one at that. See it on the largest screen you can.

    The Red Shoes

    ★★★★★

    First time seeing this in ten years, maybe more. Impossible to be objective—the fifteen year old who fell madly in love with it is still in here, somewhere. Nevertheless, a much more emotionally overwhelming experience than I'd remembered—perhaps that's age. The ballet-within-the-film? The greatest sequence ever filmed? I thought so today.

    (Also: watched it on my "first printing" Criterion DVD from 1999(!) (the golden age of the DVD)—I'd completely forgotten about Criterion's old double-c logo. A strange nostalgia night in many ways).
