  MaXXXine 2024

  ★★½ Watched 26 Feb 2025

  watching this realised that no-one not alive then will ever know the peculiarity of sunlight in the 1970s; maybe because of particulate density or climate or the tilt of the earth's axis but it is different now. some films show it, like The Eagle Has Landed shot in summer 1976; this one tries to give you sunshine in the early 80s and nearly does it. not sure any stock or lut can make it true, or even that I can trust my own felt memories - who remembers light? this is ok but one goes away wondering why

  Incredible sunset, wavy pink darkening oranges then inside and saw this film not as good as but did not need as much support from phone looking as some; looked at the emptiness of Apple TV all that work for what really for what

  Maps to the Stars 2014

  ★★★★ Watched 28 Oct 2024

  really the most vile nasty and repugnant people you could imagine. Oddly familiar. Just like going to work.

  Alien: Romulus 2024

  ½ Watched 18 Aug 2024

  I’m not good with directions at the best of times but was v hard to figure where characters were going and why for most of this. Desecrates the memory of Ian Holm, unforgivable he never would have had that many lines. Hates women’s bodies and black men who aren’t simpletons, so if you liked it go fuck yourself.
