  The Big Parade 1925

  ★★★★★ Watched 01 Jan 2025

  This film is now 100 years old, every shot and scene of its 2 1/2 hours is incredible.

  The Holdovers 2023

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 30 Jan 2024 6

  [Rewatch]

  All digital films should aspire to look this good.

  I haven’t seen a more truthful portrayal of the Christmas season as this: the long build-up, and then the quiet, slightly anticlimatic but pleasant day itself arrives and passes, followed by everybody being in this useless, afterparty state of mind for the rest of the month.

  Night Swim 2024

  ½ Watched 11 Jan 2024 2

  Timelessly dreadful - Night Swim is the Januariest release of 2024. You do have to respect the commitment to the killer pool bit though.

  Usually I only mark films with half star that I have an all-consuming hatred for. That hatred wasn’t here, but neither was anything of any merit.
