This is one of those movies that I was always aware of but never got around to seeing until just now. And the fact that it was directed by Freddy himself, Robert Englund, was intriguing. And that it stars Stephen Geoffreys, hot off fright night and pre-gay porn. It starts off promisingly enough, well shot and nicely lit. But very quickly it becomes clear that either there is a longer cut out there that possibly makes sense, or it's just…

The Big Lebowski 1998
Seen it a zillion times, but adding it just so I can keep track of what I watched this year. All I'll say is even in these trying miserable times it's still a balm for the soul. A truly perfect film.

Nosferatu 2024
I feel like since this hasn't been released yet, and people may or may not actually see my diary entries, I'm not gonna do anything spoilery. All I'm going to say is Robert Eggers has crafted yet another masterpiece, and this is a beautiful, thoughtful, intense reworking of the FW Murnau classic. The performances are uniformly excellent it's actually scary, the atmosphere is hypnotic and enveloping. Highest possible recommendation.

Kill 2023
Competent but kind of lame; joyless, a bit of a slog. I can imagine a Scott Adkins remake that would be infinitely more enjoyable. It's not like it was badly acted, far from. The cast are all very good. But there is literally nothing fresh in this entire thing. And while it was interesting to see stark grief portrayed in an action/revenge movie, there was so much weeping that any sense of fun was completely obliterated. I don't even know if this movie was supposed to be fun. It's just kind of a nihilistic bummer. Also, the fake blood was really shitty. Wrong color.
