  The Phantom Carriage 1921

  ★★★★ Watched 24 Jan 2025

  what is this swedish silent movie from the 20s and why am I crying? a morality tale through and through that gave kubrick the inspiration for that scene in the shining. oh yeah and the director also played the main guy. what a ride (literally).

  To Die For 1995

  ★★★½ Watched 06 Jan 2025

  Admittedly I am not a huge fan of the Gus Van Sant’s movies I’ve seen even though I always tend to like his subject matters. Here I am a little on the fence about the approach to telling this particular story. Yes Suzanne is vain and calculated and a psycho, but I also find her a bit one dimensional. Joaquin Phoenix gave a performance so devastatingly good that it actually overshadowed Nicole Kidman’s at times.
