  'Could you give it a 5 stars on Goodreads? Self-publishing is really eating into my overhead' - Me asking people who have seen the film to rate it on Letterboxd.

  The Children's Hour 1961

  ★★★½ Watched 24 Mar 2025

  It's funny. I always complain when people have a problem with queer cinema that's less than optimistic. For example, I've met a few people who dislike Brokeback Mountain because it's fundamentally a tragedy, but it's such a well crafted one with genuine emotion in it. I can't really say the same about The Children's Hour.

  It's a solid enough melodrama, but it hasn't necessarily aged well in terms of its representation. After all, the entire concept of two women's liveliehoods…

  The Adventures of Baron Munchausen 1988

  ★★★★ Watched 20 Mar 2025

  I think I would have loved this film as a six-year-old. It's so full of whimsy and energy. Incredibly Pythonesque in its execution.

  If it weren't for Terry Gilliam, Gore Verbinski wouldn't have a career. His style is definitely indebted to Gilliam's.

  Prey 2022

  ★★★½ Watched 03 Aug 2022 1

  It's a crime this film isn't coming to cinemas since it feels like it was MADE for a cinema release.

  Full of predictable story beats and character arcs, but that can be overlooked in a film with genuine tension and a great atmosphere.

  The action sequences were well choreographed and the pacing was great. I also loved the story and the setting. Prey takes the franchise back to its roots, which I really appreciated. Also, the set ups and pay offs were really satisfying.

  Cape Fear 1991

  ★★★★ Watched 22 Mar 2025 4

  Fantastic thriller. Although it's a remake of the 1962 Cape Fear, it really has a Night of the Hunter vibe to it.

  I enjoyed this film a lot more than I expected to. It's an incredibly well crafted, yet schlocky, thriller.

  This also might be one of De Niro's best performances.
