  Poor Things 2023

  ★★★½ Watched 21 Oct 2023

  I stand by my opinion that I’ve had since The Favourite that Yorgos is at his best when he writes his own scripts. I’m really looking forward to “Kinds of Kindness”. (There’s also a chance that I might just really miss Colin Farrell in Yorgos films though?)

  Nevertheless, the first half of this soars which only makes it more disappointing when the second half begins to meander. The ending is solid. 🐐

  Willem Dafoe MVP

  The Royal Hotel 2023

  ★★★★ Watched 11 Sep 2023

  THE ROYAL HOTEL - While walking out of the theater, I overheard somebody say: “I was just waiting for something horrible to happen.”

  To which I say: But didn’t enough horrible things happen as it was?
