  Completely insane but a whole lot of fun, and weirdly it manages to remain faithful to Jane Austen's original. It even salvages the third act by having a certain character get a much deserved comeuppance. It's a switch off your brain type of movie, but that's a good thing when there are zombies about.

  Blue Velvet 1986

  ½ Watched 15 Feb 2025

  Half star for some nice music. The rest is a bunch of forced, obviously fake, and disparate threads that don't quite hang together. This sucks and might be one of the most overrated movies of all time.
