The Phantom of the Opera 1925
Cool makeup. The plot boils down to “what if there was a scary guy in a theatre?” Apparently it used to be more complex but because it’s a silent movie they just changed the dialogue cards, which is hilarious.

Don't Look Up 2021
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Great satire. Realistic without any obvious “the comet is X and this character is Y” bluntness. That also means it avoids taking a hard stance in identifying anyone who’s responsible for the mess of the real modern world, or any possible solutions, but I suppose the mean-spirited “everything and everyone sucks, and there is nothing we can do about it” is its own stance, so it’s not totally spineless. Really enjoyed cringing at this movie.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2022
As as Serious Horror Guy I could point out that this doesn’t follow the spirit of the original, and tacks on muddy social commentary that goes nowhere.
As a person who actually enjoys horror movies, this was a fun bit of gory dumbness with a guy who kinda resembles Leatherface.
