  The Blair Witch Project 1999

  ★★★★ Watched 16 Mar 2025

  Just a great idea with an incredible build up that was chilling on opening night

  The voiceover: best there is. Best written, best performed, best tone setting, edited in the best. Definitive. The best part is it could work without it, just much better with it

  Sheen. He’ll never top it. He’s perfect. As Coppola points out, in reference to replacing Keitel, this needed a more internal actor…

  ★★★½ Watched 07 Mar 2025

  The movie I wanted to see I enjoyed, in the first hour or so

  Then it spins its wheels a bit, going in and out of interesting

  Then it changes into an entirely different, inferior movie, that nonetheless still has its moments

  Pattinson is great, draws real distinctions and certainly makes choices. He is singlehandedly responsible for this movie working to the extent it does

  Ruffalo is doing a bad Trump impression. He's awful in it. And since I had…
