  If you don’t take the pedophilia that seriously this may be the funniest movie of all time.

  Cuckoo 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 04 Jan 2025

  Worth watching for the directing and performances.  Story built on some strained bird metaphor that never comes together. Extra star for reminding the world how weird Germans are.

  Gladiator II 2024

  ★★★ Watched 24 Nov 2024 2

  A good reminder of how good the first one was by being a poor facsimile. Worth a watch for Denzel and the weird Emperor brothers. Weird is welcome.

  Cry-Baby 1990

  ★★ Watched 02 Jan 2025

  White trash Grease. Too silly to make me feel anything. But an example of Johnny Depp’s super power, bringing a human performance to absurdist filmmaking. Also Iggy Pop, good to see you.
