Gladiator II 2024

★★★★ Watched 13 Nov 2024 2

Like many people, Ridley Scott is a hit-or-miss director for me. Though I certainly almost always find something about his films that I enjoy, overall they can fall flat sometimes. Gladiator is, from what I’ve seen from him so far, my favorite of his movies, so I was mildly nervous going into this film, although not that nervous because I first saw the original like two months ago, so it’s not like this film could ruin my childhood or anything.…
Dune: Part Two 2024

★★★★★ Watched 28 Feb 2024 3

Ugh, I already know this review is going to sound exactly like all the reviews by all the critics on TikTok that sound like they got paid for it. I didn’t get paid. I wish.
Everything Dune did perfectly (which was pretty much everything really), Dune: Part Two somehow does a hundred times better. In fact, next to this behemoth of a film, Part One feels like a small, though incredible, but small movie. I suppose Part One was always…

Nosferatu 1922

★★★★ Watched 07 Jan 2025

Sorry, I wanted to write a serious review, but the only thing I can think about is Count Orlok casually walking around town, checking both sides before safely crossing the road, carrying a comically large coffin, ready to start the shenanigan of the day. I don’t see how Eggers could possibly top that.
Carry-On 2024

★★★ Watched 07 Jan 2025

It’s like Die Hard but on an airport! So like… Die Hard 2. Like, down to the Christmas theme and everything.
For what it’s worth though, Carry-On is honestly pretty entertaining, dare I almost say occasionally thrilling? Well, that is, until you actually think about what you’re watching, then it kind of falls apart. It’s a very tropey and by-the-book airport thriller, nothing we haven’t seen before I’d say, but that wouldn’t even be a big problem, it’s a Netflix…

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Warmed my heart and broke it for no reason.
A Part of You 2024

★★★½ Watched 31 May 2024 1

Look I’m a sucker for the American style of acting, the pathos and everything, but anytime I see a film that’s from somewhere here in Europe, in this case Sweden, it’s always so refreshing because the acting is just different, a little more visceral maybe. And specifically in this film, it’s so good. Felicia Maxime is brilliant, I was completely hooked and I couldn’t take my eyes off of her performance, to the extent that I sometimes forgot to read…
