The First Omen 2024
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Amazing film. It needs a couple of watches before its full depth is revealed. It’s worth it, trust me.
Obviously it had to hit a few targets in order to satisfy those of us who love the original starter film.
The era had to be accurate. It delivers on this with an affectionate nostalgia. The clothes, styling and atmosphere all hit the mark.
It had to end with a direct link to the next film. This is hammers directly, which…Translated from by -
American Mary 2012
Ooooooooooh yes. This is my bag.
Mary is a star! Gorgeous, skilful, ruthless and totally focused. Divine.
I am not going to comment on the male characters. Their behaviour is impactful multiple times but they are completely inconsequential.
Love it!Translated from by

Billie Eilish: The World's a Little Blurry 2021
I enjoyed watching this young woman trying to stay true to herself despite the needs the world places on her. Quite a contrast to watching the Amy Winehouse story recently. Family, family, family. Parents: don’t fear your kids! They need you. The world will consume them without your protection. Please.

Past Lives 2023
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
I really liked the first act. The friendship of the children and the setting. It was beautiful and atmospheric. I did not much enjoy the rest unfortunately. I could not relate to the characters nor their decisions. I had one very strong emotional reaction. This was when Hae Sung travelled to the US. It was anger. It tapped into my resentment that my autonomy has not always been respected. His encroachment on her life was inappropriate in my view. The restaurant scene was agonising. Just awful. The ending was icky. No, not for me.

Halloween Ends 2022

This worked for me. I am glad I rewatched HK in preparation. I think the two films fit together well as a necessary resolution for what has become an insurmountable challenge that has played out for decades.
How to solve a problem like Michael? And not turn the lore into silly, superficial fluff, and Laurie into nothing more than a last girl (ironic, I know)?In HK the community has been so frozen in fear that it starts to implode.…
