  Shampoo 1975

  ★★★★ Watched 24 Mar 2025

  Amazing LA movie. Hal Ashby is truly a master, he never slips up it seems. Really keeps you on the edge of your seat dramatically- you know what’s going to happen, but you don’t know when, and it drags it all out surprisingly well.

  Barbie 2023

  ★★★ Watched 21 Jul 2023 2

  Had high hopes for this which fell a bit flat. I appreciate what this was doing, it clearly was made for a very wide audience, and trying to be an anthemic film for women, but I had a lot of gripes with it. 

  It definitely validated my fears I had for it. It felt so studio: clean, safe, surface level characters (even aside from the satirized Barbie world characters), and marketed. The whole Chevy thing was just such an eye…

  Landscape in the Mist 1988

  ★★★★★ Watched 16 Dec 2023 4

  Astounding. Such a beautiful story of light and darkness shown through the innocence of children trying to make it through a cruel world. So insightful, and so many things to say about this. 

  I’ve been wanting to see the films of Angelopolis for a long time, but none of them are anywhere to be found online- until i found a website that has 5 of his most well known works. 

  Here’s the link, this website is a heaven send.
