The Northman 2022
- a true epic tale, non-stop drama, pulls no punches, just keeps getting more metal with each scene and I could not tear my eyes away
- if you’ve read Beowulf you’ll love this
- every line of dialogue is dripping with intention, and if Robert Eggers didn’t rip this straight from the skalds I would be shocked (I haven’t Googled it but I’m definitely going to go on a research rabbit hole about it)- I don’t wanna spoil…

Lord of Misrule 2023
- trying way too hard to be a Midsommar-adjacent folk horror, but lacks the artistry and is too verbose (idk how else to say that they could have left stuff out and the movie would have been better for it; someone comment with the French cinema term that I’m sure exists for this)
- not very comment-worthy
- I’d have to rewatch to give a detailed review but it was so meh that I don’t want to watch it againTranslated from by

2001: A Space Odyssey 1968
summary: huh???* (*affectionate)
- beautiful costuming/prosthetic work on the apes
- I do love a weird or barely-there narrative and I’d class this movie as both
- idk what I was looking at in the time warp (?)/ space travel (?) scenes, but the amorphous blobs and galaxy effects were gorgeous and I’m going to Google what they used to get that effect (apparently it was various lacquers, paints and oils spread on water, shot with a macro lens)

Happily Ever After 1989
- I thought this movie was lost to time but someone thankfully uploaded it to YouTube, god bless
- whimsical, silly, and incredibly nostalgic
- the background painting is gorgeous and very typical of 80s-90s animated fantasy
- it looks like it’s going to be an off-brand Snow White but is a quality standalone story of its own with unique characters and fun musical sequences
- the voice acting is top-notch and the star-studded cast is well-utilized
- watch this if you liked Disney’s The Sword in The Stone or Don Bluth’s Thumbelina
