  The Brutalist 2024

  ★ Watched 13 Feb 2025 2

  Didn't expect to hate this, but here we are. I was waiting for some justification for why I was sitting at an AMC for almost 5 hours, but Corbet offers none. This film is the definition of pretentious. As pompous as Guy Pearce’s cartoon performance as Daddy Warbucks. Corbet wants to be PTA, trying so hard for the power and weight of “The Master” or “There Will Be Blood”. The wannabe Johnny Greenwood score made me cringe.

  Wings of Desire 1987

  ★★★★ Watched 06 Feb 2025

  This would be a perfect film if the angel had chosen to become human for ANY reason other than “want to touch hot acrobat.” Everything else: poetry. 

  “This drawing stinks. So what? No one sees it. Someday you'll make a good drawing. I hope. I hope. I hope."
  - Peter Falk (a perfect angel)
