Shrek 2001
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
"You know, Shrek... when we first met, I didn't think you were a big, stupid, ugly ogre."
"Yeah, I know"
An ogre who sits by a field that stretches far, wishing he didn't have to be alone, while not able to let down his walls. His potential lover who is soon to be given over to the oppressive "lord" who's beautiful castle sits in the distance but perfectly visable; a reminder of why all that ogre feels in that moment…

Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives 1986
"Jason belongs in Hell - and I'm gonna see to it that he gets there."
Tom McLoughlin just understood. Writing and directing this classic slasher, he knew better than anyone what this film should be.
We start on Tommy opening Jason's grave. Only a few minutes into the film, we see this gross, un-dead vile creature rise to live again. If that doesn't show you he gets it, then what does? He knew the silliness in bringing Jason back from…

A Quiet Place 2018
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
I like Krasinski as an actor, really like the passion he had for this film, and having Emily Blunt (his actual wife) co-star with him is just the cherry on top. Add to that I really like apocalyptic stories and that this was shot on film in 2018 nonetheless, a time when it easily could have been digital, means that it has a lot going for it for my tastes.
I love that the film has heart, as I said…

Marty 1955
"I got feelings, you know. I had enough pain."
Loneliness is looking across the room to see the most lonely looking one in the whole place, and feeling doubt that even they would want anything to do with you.
What I like about how Marty portrays loneliness is that it isn't just about looks or success (even if they are relevant) but also how hard it can feel to please all those around you. As if it isn't hard enough…

The Big Heat 1953
"you couldn't plant enough flowers around here to kill the smell."
The actions taken by the corrupt and the ones fighting against it, actually felt. A well-written narrative absolutely, but the consequences of the humans that inhabit the picture are never lost to the slick Noir style.
Need to see more Lang, now!

Throne of Blood 1957
"If you would make a mountain of the dead, pile it so it reaches the sky"I don't like the objective approach to this story, I feel too outside of the drama, and the drama itself is used for melodrama here, which also isn't my preference.
Kurosawa wanted to use the concept of Macbeth more than make a great adaptation it seems(which I don't mind at all). But I can't shake the feeling that this is such a more rich…
