  Blue Velvet 1986

  ★★★★ Watched 26 Mar 2025

  My first David Lynch. Watching it solo at Duke of York felt kinda special. 

  What happens in suburbia stays in suburbia I guess…

  Loved young Laura Dern. 

  Somehow I felt compelled to listen to radiohead on my cycle home after. Was cinematic.

  Ella Enchanted 2004

  ★★★★ Rewatched 23 Mar 2025

  Growing up this was my sister's favourite film and therefore I hated it. Mostly, I was just jealous that she got a film named after her but I didn't (rude).

  The mix of stories is so good: Cinderella, Hamlet, Little Red Riding Hood.

  Really satirical, which would've gone wayyyy over my head back in the day but its actually quite deep. Batox instead of botox = hilarious.

  Lovely birthday eve watch. The final scene singing 'don't go breaking my heart' is joyful magic. I was smiling ear to ear.

  Love a film with unlikeable characters where nothing happens (not joking). 

  This was kinda good, kinda meh.

  Funny, weird and uncomfortable in all the best ways. 

  Concept actually felt meaningful & believable (and kinda terrifying). 2nd half dragged a little bit but maybe I was just hungry. 

  Stellar acting. 

  Think this one will get even better over time as the story lingers in my brain + body.
