  Manhunter 1986

  ★★★★★ Watched 16 Mar 2025

  This felt like being stuck in a bad dream or maybe like going slowly insane. Unbelievable vibes. Soundtrack going fucking crazy. Great movie.

  The Substance 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 01 Mar 2025

  This felt like something produced in the Cyberpunk 2077 universe, which I didn’t like—until I did.

  Escape from New York 1981

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 30 Aug 2021

  “Hi, chief. Nice night… Nice boots. Nice boots.”

  One of those movies that makes a million little choices and manages to make the perfect one almost every time. The aesthetic hasn’t aged. The effects don’t look cheap. The world has so many fun details, but isn’t bogged down by a heap of boring overwritten lore. Carpenter fills the movie with seemingly one dimensional stock characters and then uses the actors to give them life and humanity. It’s basically the definition of show don’t tell and it’s one of my all time favorite movies and I love it!
