  The English Patient 1996

  ★★½ Watched 15 Mar 2025

  started off really good but the drama became overblown and ridiculous. it jumped the shark for me. also even though that he had a very sad story i don’t think it would justify the nazi collaboration to willem defoe………. and finally i don’t understand what was happening with the accents. was hana french canadian? if he was hungarian why did he have a british accent……….. definitely not a bad movie but it was SO LONG and melodramatic

  La terreur et la vertu: Danton 1964

  ★★★ Watched 09 Mar 2025

  Movie gives little to no explanation of who these people are or what’s happening. It doesn't even get into why the king is dead- it just gets right into these National Assembly divas.

  Ridiculous movie with just so many different things happening. I think a guy who dies and comes back to life is enough of a premise for one plot without the cute little gremlin aliens. The brief challengers moment which is immediately brushed past and never again acknowledged. It’s completely unsubtle political commentary (Mark ruffalo’s veneers). The sauce reprieve. Imo it is too long but totally saved by entertaining performances, set pieces, and being genuinely funny. Dinner scene was the best part.
