  Rock 'n' Roll High School 1979

  ★★★ Watched 20 Jan 2025

  Stupid. Endearing. Infectious.

  Joey Ramon is the weirdest looking guy. I’m as fascinated by his physiognomy, animation, and style as I am by Lil Wayne’s. Those two lurking on planet Mars would make a great visual for a dream sequence in a Lynch film.

  Dey Young is adorable in this. I’m in love with her face. She has the best cheekbones and smile.

  Nosferatu 2024

  ★★★ Watched 31 Dec 2024

  Damn. Eggers’ first misstep. Gorgeous historically accurate visuals laden with overwrought performances and a limp derivative script. A heartless romance. 

  LACKS RESONANCE.

  Da 5 Bloods 2020

  ★ Watched 26 Jun 2020

  If BlacKKKlansmen heralded a return to form for esteemed auteur Spike Lee—it was certainly short lived. Da 5 Bloods is inexcusably inept. Spike is tone-deaf the whole way through and, while the plot is decent, the script itself is weak and riddled to shit with discrepancies. That it took four writers to hodgepodge this together in the first place is an embarrassment. Maybe Netflix Originals are the film equivalent of lazy mixtapes? Or merely the modern update on Direct-to-DVD. Whatever the case, Da 5 Bloods belongs in the bargain bin (and at the very bottom, at that).

  Nude for Satan 1974

  ★★★★ Watched 10 Jul 2019

  Exclusively for those in the know; Nude For Satan is The Hourglass Sanitarium by way of Jess Franco. An obscure and indecipherable fever dream, and a miraculous beautiful wreck of a film.
