  The Electric State 2025

  ★★ Watched 15 Mar 2025

  This wasn't good.
  It had all the right ingredients to be fun.
  But it was a confused, mushy mess full of overdone sentiment.
  I know it's based on a book, but I didn't get the weird futurist retro 90s time period it was supposed to be in - the characters were very shallow - and the whole vr-drone thing felt like it was a motif so they could spend less on shoot days for certain actors.

  Mickey 17 2025

  ★★★★½ Watched 08 Mar 2025

  A timely and enjoyable sci-fi with lots of laughs, and some serious punches at the political and religious landscape.
  Half a star lost because the voiceover narration got a bit tedious in places - like if you muted it, the story would still make sense and it didn't add anything.

  Wedding Trough 1974

  ★ Watched 19 Aug 2022 2

  A part of me really wanted to appreciate this film as a great work of experimental cinema.

  But Jesus Christ...

  A deranged man has sex with a pig, which was in no way subtle or suggestive, and then the pig has babies, he kills those babies, hangs them up, mama pig dies of grief, and then he's sad, tries to bury himself with her, and then the film ends with him eating his own mess and then hanging himself.

  There…

  Nosferatu 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 04 Jan 2025

  Another Eggers Goodun'.
  Lots of atmosphere and throwbacks to original film.
  Some great performances.
  Aaron Taylor Johnson though needs to calm down his RP, that was way too much ham.
  1 star lost for the Robotnik Moustache on Count Orlock.
  Willem Dafoe popping a bottle and yelling "SCHNAPPS!?" was a highlight for me. Perfect comic timing. Tickled me in all darkness.
