  Nosferatu 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 21 Jan 2025

  Lots of common tropes of the horror genre in this one, certainly elevated by Eggers' signature style and impeccable performances (Lily-Rose Depp is a dominant force).

  A tad disappointed with Nosferatu's design, however, as I believe something a little "cleaner" would have been a better choice, something closer to Murnau's 1922 film. Also, Skarsgård's punctuated pronunciation was quite distracting.

  ★★★★ Watched 06 May 2023

  With Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, this wacky group of space defenders solidifies itself as the most consistent franchise within the MCU, together with the Captain America trilogy. James Gunn, despite the regular tampering of the Marvel machine, established and sustained a very well put together narrative, with interesting and likable characters with great story arcs and, most importantly, managed to keep a cohesive spirit throughout the whole endeavor, never losing its sprightly intergalactic adventure's essence and its acidic,…
