  Eraserhead 1977

  ★★★★★ Watched 07 Mar 2025

  Continuing my voyage into Lynch, I've now seen two of his films (this and The Elephant Man), alongside finishing season one of Twin Peaks. Technically I hadn't finished Twin Peaks S1 as of watching this film, but I finished it a week later, or yesterday as of writing this review.
  I've hardly watched a thing since 2025 began, all my energy's just been sapped. I write these overly long and meandering reviews and I stop myself watching anything new until…

  The Producers 1967

  ★★★★ Watched 27 Feb 2025

  I laughed. Funny idea and I like how the play actually looks like a good time. If they'd just left the original version unedited, put it out as a one man play or something, guaranteed zero dollars at the box office. Instead they gave it to the cuntiest director on broadway and let him make magic.
  Lot of great performances, three stand outs though are obviously Zero Mostel, good solid job, Gene Wilder, actually brilliant, and Lee Meredith, magnetic presence, steals every scene she's in, Oscar worthy body... of work I'm sure. Have to check out what else she's been in.

  ★★★★½ Watched 01 Oct 2024

I don't know what's happened to my brain recently but I watch every film now searching for deeper meanings, subconscious themes and metaphor. I always find something to grasp onto, but was it put there intentionally or am I creating my own meaning, and how can I review that. Everything…

  De Palma 2015

  ★★★★½ Watched 14 Feb 2025

  Can't overstate how much I loved this, god I need to watch more of his films. Even having seen less than half of them though, I still thought this was a great time.
  It's an 1hr 45 of fascinating stories and invaluable teachings with the occasional life tidbit that puts his whole library into context. Then the last 5 minutes has him offer a complete deconstruction of who he is a human being.
