Wonderfully original and zany mix of a Buster Keaton silent film and Looney Toons. It embraces lo-fi effects but is actually sophisticated in how things are put together, and I love how it builds up cartoon logic to setup the gags.
My 7-year-old and I loved it, but everyone else in the family was not a fan. Take from that what you will.
52 Years, In 52 Weeks: 2024 Edition
The gold-standard blockbuster disaster movie holds up impressively well today (well, except for OJ Simpson as security guard).
Full of great practical effects, apart from a few shots of obvious green screen or rear-projection or whatever it was. The focus on all the individual stories pays off, and there's a ton of genuinely tense moments. Paul Newman and Steve McQueen are great as the architect and fire chief, respectively.
There were a few…
134 mins, or 90 mins if you played all the slow-motion at regular speed.
A low-budget Roger Corman rip-off of Alien, with surprisingly decent production design but a horrible-quality creature.

#23: Horror film centered around sleep or dreams.
Well, now I know the only thing scarier than a home invasion is not knowing about a home invasion!
This creepy, tense horror film follows Cesar, a depressed concierge who can only feel something approaching happiness when he's made others miserable. He's both pathetic and sinister at the same time. Definitely not someone you want to have with a key to your apartment when you're not around!
A tight, well-made movie that slowly raises the stakes as it goes.

I don't need to sell you on the fact that it's a collaboration between George Romero and Dario Argento, or how it consists of a couple of Creepshow-esque adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe stories.
I just need to tell you that this film features Harvey Keitel unironically dressing like this.
