  Christmas Twister 2012

  ★ Watched 12 Dec 2024

  the one where lookalike kate winslet and lookalike aaron eckhart fight terrible CGI for over an hour. the dog is the true hero of this movie and deserves a star. as a treat.

  The Making of The Fellowship of the Ring 2002

  ★★★★★ Watched 28 Sep 2024

  it's just really fascinating to watch a film be made by people who love it for more than just the dollar signs. also, seeing a nazgul holding an umbrella made my week.

  Wings 1927

  ★★★½ Watched 23 Sep 2024

  best picture nominee binge: 1/586
  rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars

  I feel like this is genuinely the kind of movie you can recognise as a masterpiece of its era without actually finding it enjoyable. Technically, it's a feat of its time, but the runtime means that it's kind of a slog to get through, even though the plot itself is fun.

  Clara Bow is, naturally, gorgeous, funny, and genuinely really enjoyable to watch, even if silent-esque films aren't usually my thing. Wings gets an extra 0.5 stars just for her.
