The Girl with the Needle 2024
a comparative essay, basically, on how much better we have it now, even in End Times. powerful story coupled by gripping performances (cc: vic carmen sonne) & an otherworldly look-feel to Denmark post-WWI, but at the cost of being the bleakest & most tragic film i’ve ever seen by a wide margin.

Riddle of Fire 2023
i was so beyond caught off guard by this film in the best way possible: it’s charming, wholesome, well-scripted, & every performance is delivered like it matters (the summation of powerful direction). it totally captures the essence & fantasy of childhood, & that weird, precocious sensation of feeling like you’re more mature than your years could ever suggest. can’t wait to see what razooli does next.

Alien: Romulus 2024
an achievement simply for its serviceable contribution to the franchise: memorable sequences rife with grappling viz (some of these widescreen shots of the ringed planet were awe-inspiring), high production value, & plenty of xenomorphic induced blood splatter. post-Ripley, these films are still lacking in charismatic, admirably deft characters… someone to latch to like a facehugger would a human head. wanted more from Wallfisch’s score as well; i felt like he settled for retro-strings when sawtooth waves would have been better served. overall, A Fun Time, top 4 Alien feature film.
