  • Trash

    Trash 1970

    ★★★★★ Rewatched 23 Feb 2025

    I was surprised when my girlfriend said she preferred Trash over Flesh, but it makes sense. Trash is a lot less artsy and a lot more funny. The Jane Forth scene is still my favorite, but I’ve watched it a few times on its own since my first watch so it didn’t hit as hard this time. The scene that stood out to me most on this go was the one with the student, Joe, and Holly. It’s completely wrong…

  • Don't Torture a Duckling

    Don't Torture a Duckling 1972

    ★★★★★ Rewatched 27 Oct 2024 5

    This could very well be my favorite more "traditional" giallo, and one of the few I'd eagerly recommend to friends. It's not overwhelmingly Italian, if you know what I mean. Don't Torture a Duckling is a compelling murder mystery with just enough Lucio Fulci flair to avoid being offputting for newcomers to the genre.

    When I was first getting into giallo, I started with Argento. I enjoyed them, but I didn't love them. Now he’s one of my all-time favorite…

    Anora 2024

    ★★★★★ Rewatched 03 Mar 2025

    They chose a fun movie for once. It kind of makes sense. If I haven’t even seen half of the Best Picture nominees, I’m sure a lot of Academy voters didn’t either. Most of the nominees have pretty niche audiences. I’d have to start drinking again to sit through Emilia Pérez, and I care even less about Wicked. Sorry, just not my thing. The Substance is very fun too, but no way was it going to win Best Picture. Out…

  • The Monkey

    The Monkey 2025

    ★★★★ Watched 01 Mar 2025

    I was laughing a lot. Maybe a little too much. My theater was pretty silent and they prolly think I’m a psychopath but that’s okay. Unpopular opinion, but I prefer this Osgood over Longlegs Osgood. It’s very silly and I had a great time.

    Possession (1981)

    Wow, this is a hard movie to find. But it’s worth the search. Horrific, depressing, and profound. The performances from Sam Neill and Isabelle Adjani are some of the best I’ve ever seen in a horror movie. The subway scene is incredible. I also noticed early on how well this film is shot. While the characters seem like bad people, you can still relate to their struggles. I feel for Anna and Mark. Possession is…

    Braindead (Dead Alive)

    I watched this when I was younger and remember really liking it. I haven’t seen it again since and I regret that. This movie is so much fun. I love movies with this sort of tone, like Re-Animator. I had a smile on my face from start to finish. 

    The effects are so good, which has come to be expected from Weta. I love how crazy and creative the effects are while still…
