Opus 2025
LIKED: Opening credits, Ayo Edebiri first billed, title card, the music, the costuming, kind of the ending, Ayo Edebiri
It was fine! It's guilty of what everyone's accusing it of - it's retreading what a lot of popular movies have been chewing over in the past few years, and it doesn't do anything particularly new or interesting (though I will give it credit for the John Malkovich jams. big fan of those).

Julius Caesar 1953
What trash is Rome,
What rubbish, and what offal when it serves
For the base matter to illuminate
So vile a thing as Caesar!It's a fun and silly combo of Shakespeare and 50's film style. Marlon Brando is cute and his speech is sooo good but after the speech the movie is kind of nothing and boring.

The Fall of the House of Usher 2023
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
I ideologically disagree with TV series being on Letterboxd so I'll mark them as watched but not write a review. But this was SO BAD omg I have to say it. It's soooo hamfisted like at the end a character does this huge monologue about how capitalism is bad. Like did you get it? Did you get that capitalism is bad? No worries we're gonna tell you in case you didn't get it. And all the horribly shoehorned-in Poe references...…

William & Kate 2011
Imagine you're trying to go to college and they make you sign an NDA because a fucking British royal is going there. Imagine he's in your project group and you're like uhh Will where are your slides and he's like sorry I had to do an imperialism this weekend. I would be so livid.
One scene I did like was Kate's parents eating ice cream together. O to be a married couple eating the tiniest little spoonfuls of ice cream right from the container. More romance in that moment than the rest of the film.
