Police Story 1985
Like eating a good sandwich when you’re hungry. The kind of thing that makes you happy to be alive, grateful to live in a human body that can jump and kick and all that.
One of the best things about martial arts is how much bodily confidence they inspire, in the sense of realizing that you are actually capable of recovering from a lot more pain than you would think. You can tell the stunts in this are inspired by that feeling and the joy is radiant !!!

The Lady Eve 1941
Perfect movie to put on in the background while working. The dialogue is really the vehicle of the whole thing so you don’t need to look up at all. Henry Fonda is the cutest most scammable man here <333

Poor Things 2023
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
this was the 100th movie my boyfriend and i watched together! he did not like it.
he found it pretentious and gratuitous in every way, and i can’t say he’s wrong, but i thought it was a wonderful addition to the family tree of Frankenstein stories. this is also the first Yorgos movie i wouldn’t mind rewatching!
i think it doesn’t work as a movie about female liberation. it’s kinda worthless if you are looking for lessons to take from…
