The Wiz 1978

Watched 06 Jan 2025

Yeah, there's a lot of issues you could mention with this movie - you could say the same with the 1939 movie also, but I don't care, this movie's kinda awesome. Some of the big musical numbers maybe go on a bit too long, but the cast seems to be having fun, so who cares? The idea of "Wizard of Oz, but in 1970's New York" is so bonkers I have to respect it. I think the Cowardly Lion is…
Conan the Barbarian 1982

Watched 16 Apr 2024

I was pleasantly surprised by this. It's not like this the first movie with narration I've seen before, but this was the best use of it I've seen in a while. This movie really feels like a story from another time, another world that somehow came to ours. I felt like I was seeing a myth come to life. I'm sure this movie has flaws, but they seem unimportant in in an experience like this.

The Witch 2015

★★★★½ Added 1

Definitely a strong debut. This was a certainly a risk and I'm glad it managed to get traction. Quite honestly, living in this era and place would be scary enough, and the supernatural element is welcomed. The family's deterioration I thought was well presented. It was also interesting to see the whole subtext of "boy is menaced by witch" made pretty obvious. I look forward to watching The Lighthouse.
The Lighthouse 2019

★★★★½ Added

Directors: There are other good horror movies than The Shining, just reminding you.
But seriously, Defoe was great. Wasn't sure what Pattinson was doing all the time but he was fine. As with The Witch, the best part is probably the unique setting and research. It did sort of feel like a retro horror piece as well. Definitely a piece where there's many different interpretations to be had, and I liked that.
