  Icarus 2017

  ★★★ Rewatched 27 Jan 2022

  This filmmaker was the luckiest filmmaker alive, happening to make a documentary with a guy (Grigory) suddenly became the centre of a storm, and the fact that Grigory is hilarious and moving with a unique way of expressing himself that's part Werner Herzog and mad scientist.

  There's a lot of piss in this movie.

  The films dips a big dip towards the end when we get scene after scene of serious Sports Old Men talking as the scandal unfolds. But otherwise there's a lot of material here that's handled really well.

  Pretty Woman 1990

  ½ Rewatched 20 Jun 2021

  Just the absolute staggering amounts of misogyny:

  -- within the film's story
  -- being asked of us, the viewers to collude with
  -- on the part of the director and screenwriter

  And all the while, presented unconsciously in a story that is meant to be some sort of fairy tale.

  The Wasp Woman 1995

  ★★★½ Watched 28 Nov 2021

  Premium B movie nonsense. Great costumes, excellent wasp outfit, well crafted monster fare. Boom.
