  '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.

  Mank 2020

  ★★★★ Watched 22 Nov 2020 1

  MANK was MANKTASTIC. You thought it would TANK, but MANK makes BANK in this film that can CRANK the old emotions. Gary Oldman YANKS the spotlight as Herman J. and Amanda Seyfried's performance is also DANK. But most of all, I'd like to THANK David Fincher for resurrecting his father's screenplay, which was not BLANK, but rich with substance.

  I'd also like to SHANK and SPANK anyone who doesn't appreciate Fincher's vision of Herman J. MANK.
