  Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country 1991

  ★★★★ Watched 07 Dec 2023

  This might actually be my favorite Trek Movie. Yes, I do think it's better than Wrath of Khan...
  The premise is just really intriguing and really made me think of classic Trek episodes like Balance of Power and Arena where Starfleet members have to face their own prejudices against non-Federation folks. The Enterprise crew especially Kirk struggling with their feelings towards Klingons is really well done. Of course Spock is great.
  And the ending did make me tear up just a bit.

  Prescription: Murder 1968

  ★★★½ Watched 21 Nov 2023

  Columbo is definitely too well dressed in this. Apart from that it's quite a memorable debut for an iconic character.

  One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest 1975

  ★★½ Watched 11 Nov 2023

  The movie is really well-made. The acting is good and it's well written.
  However, some things about this movie haven't aged well. First of all, the hero is a rapist. Instead of addressing this properly the movie isn't really interested in that at all.
  In general, women are treated very poorly. The antagonist is you're typical devouring mother archetype and the only other woman has no other function than to satisfy the men's sexual needs.
  It's a classic and still an interesting watch today if you view it more as an artistic artifact. But I can't recommend it wholeheartedly.
