  The Battle of Algiers 1966

  ★★★★★ Watched 12 Mar 2025

  A stunning companion piece to Fanon’s The Wretched of the Earth (which I’m putting off finishing).

  The Lost Boys 1987

  ★★★★ Rewatched 01 Mar 2025

  A goofy, sexy movie. It plays like a (mildly) homoerotic Buffy prequel.

  Nosferatu 2024

  ★ Watched 27 Dec 2024

  I hated the sickly yellow-brown and washed-out grays and blues, I hated the tedious shot composition (again and again symmetrical with the character in the center of the frame), and maybe worst of all I hated the superficial historical “authenticity.” Eggers has nothing to say, and says his nothing with an inflated, self-consciously “arty”—and totally empty—style. This was a pointless bore: toothless, gutless, and bloodless.
