  The Bigamist 1953

  ★★★★ Watched 16 Mar 2025

  Kind of like an American version of Brief Encounter. Ida Lupino is a badass. Was genuinely shocked by the meta humor.

  Sleeping Dogs 1977

  ★★★★ Watched 16 Mar 2025

  Possibly the most New Hollywood-ish movie made outside of Hollywood. The movie kicks off early with an anti-fascist protest erupting in violence, and the government immediately responding with anti-protest measures. Some things never change, eh?

  Oh wait, apparently the story is fictional. Well let's call it prescient then. This quote about sums it up: "Just because you're sitting out here on your ass in the country doesn't mean your free of it - you're not." A fascist government will come for the rights of every last man, woman, and child - even those who support it.

  The Sudbury Devil 2023

  ★★★½ Watched 22 Dec 2023

  This is for a very specific audience: people who like Robert Eggers films and watch historical essays on Youtube. For me, that Venn diagram is a circle.

  Godspell 1973

  ★★★½ Watched 25 Jan 2021

  Groovy. It's like the Bible through the lens of The Muppets.
