  Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl 2024

  ★★★ Watched 10 Jan 2025

  Nowhere near the originals—and certainly not helping itself by reprising a classic villain—but still has plenty of charms and great animation.

  Nosferatu 2024

  ★★★ Watched 12 Jan 2025

  Frustrating but still pretty powerful. Strong first half (or so) with nightmarish, jarring images gives way to a lot of repetitive exposition and explaining the themes to the audience. Not really sure that the combination of modern feminist themes, grafted onto a century old puritanical narrative, fully works. Still, a lot of this was really enjoyable, even if it didn’t fully work.
