Continuing a tear through classic Billy Wilder films with this absolute gem. Impeccably acted, most especially by Charles Laughton and Marlene Dietrich. It’s just incredible to have two titans of writing for stage and screen, Agatha Christie and Billy Wilder, come together.

Marilyn Monroe oozes charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent ;)

The Fog 1980
Not trying to “yuck your yum”, but this movie is boring, uninteresting, and ridiculous. The “critical re-evaluation” of this movie was wrong — it’s not good!! John Carpenter literally using the score from Halloween as the score to this movie is so uncreative. Have some self-respect!! I dare you to take the premise of a vengeful ghost and make a more uninteresting movie.
There is one positive quality of this movie: Janet Leigh/Jamie Lee Curtis give great performances, and it’s fun to see this famous mother/daughter pair together on screen, especially in a horror/thriller!!

A Different Man 2024
The exploration of identity, how it’s impacted by our past, and our ability to change is explored in a wildly novel way. This is quite unsettling, as body horror often is, but is thematically complex and far more than the body horror and doubling you see in the trailer.
Schimberg’s script is impressive — there’s so much symbolism to unpack. And Sebastian Stan is remarkable. How he wasn’t nominated for Best Actor is truly beyond me.
