  • The Red Shoes

    The Red Shoes 1948

    ★★★★★ Watched 04 Feb 2024

    Ballet has always been something I've admired, but I've never really "gotten it" in the way I figure real aficionados do. As with other "high art", like classical music or opera, when people discuss the plot or themes present in a piece, I struggle to understand where they're getting it from. I can recognize the beauty, but I know it’s not for me to behold.

    Not so for The Red Shoes – a proper fucking movie – one of the best…

  • Center Jenny

    Center Jenny 2013

    ★★★★ Watched 05 Dec 2024

    Perfect time capsule of the early 2010s cultural wasteland. Not sure "what happened" or "where they were" or "which one of them was Jenny" but I fucking loved it.

    Watched it on a whim without any background info – I assumed it was put together by a dozen really inspired college freshmen over a weekend, but then I realized the credits were pretty long and included some big names! It's almost more impressive knowing that a legit film crew put together something so spontaneous and unhinged

    ★★★★½ Watched 21 Jun 2024 3

    No emotional release, no comfort, no satisfaction. This movie is urging you not to get your fill of catharsis from movies - I'll be shocked if it becomes anyone's "Pink Opaque". You have to live!

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

    Took a second viewing for me to fully understand the workings of this world. Do I have it right that Mr. Melancholy fabricated a kind, understanding mother for Owen, so he could then kill her?? Jesus
