  In Time 2011

  ★★½ Watched 26 Feb 2025

  Great thematic idea, lured me in with the concept, but after about 30 minutes, it turned into a cinematic cliche with really silly supercilious scenes. Nonetheless, entertaining, but could have been so much better.

  Nosferatu 2024

  ★★★ Watched 20 Jan 2025

  Nothing new here for Dracula fans; the Count’s character fails to evoke much tragic empathy from a gothic old world perspective.

  ★★★½ Watched 19 Feb 2025

  Formulaic and bit too “Hollywood” during the first half, but improved as the movie progressed; interesting historical backdrop.

  Coda 2019

  ★★ Watched 16 May 2021

  Began with Appassionata (Beethoven’s sonata), but this movie unfortunately didn’t get any better, was very contrived, unconvincing, overly sentimental, and predictable. Liked the cast, but little else. Usually love films about artists/musicians, not this one.
