  A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master 1988

  ★★½ Watched 16 Mar 2025

  Killing us the last survivor characters from “Dream Warriors” marks the end of this series having believable, interesting protagonists (at least until they bring back Heather Langenkamp to play herself), and the script doesn’t even try to make sense. 
  Still, there are a few interesting concepts here and some of the best kills in the franchise. A film where a character is turned into a cockroach and squashed inside a bug motel could never be boring.

  I'm Still Here 2024

  ★★★★★ Watched 12 Mar 2025

  Terrifying and heartbreaking. A historical injustice presented through the eyes of a single extraordinary woman, with Fernando Torres bringing incredible strength and emotion through the slightest gesture. Deeply powerful.

  Blue Velvet 1986

  One thing I’ve always admired about Lynch is how he balances darkness and violence with love and hope. The robin monologue from Laura Dern is such a wonderful encapsulation of this sensibility.

  Emilia Pérez 2024

  Watched 15 Jan 2025

  About 30 minutes into this movie about a Mexican trans woman I looked it up and saw it was directed by a white French man. Everything made much more sense after I realised that. 

  Zoe Saldaña tried her absolute best to save it.
