  The Alto Knights 2025

  ★★ Watched 21 Mar 2025

  The first hour felt so disjointed. I struggled to understand what De Niro was talking about when he was addressing the audience (this is not a diss at the man). Just felt a mess. Picked up in that second hour but not by much. Credit where credit is due, the cast did well, I liked all their performances, it just seems they weren’t given much to work with.

  Cinema Paradiso 1988

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 16 Mar 2025

  And again, this time the theatrical cut (I’m not sure what I prefer more, this or the extended edition, maybe it depends on my mood). 

  Cinema is everything and I am so lucky to watch it.

  Scrooge: A Christmas Carol 2022

  ★★ Watched 02 Dec 2022

  I felt practically sympathetic towards Scrooge during the majority of the film which is not what you want from A Christmas Carol adaption…

  And why is Scrooge a Silver Fox??
