A staggeringly ineffective use of the ScreenLife format to tell a folk horror story that would have been better served without the format. My ★ review of Bloat (2025) on Letterboxd: boxd.it/9hIh4R #Horror #Bloat #ScreenLife #Letterboxd

boxd.itA ★ review of Bloat (2025)I know there are people who don’t like Unfriended and I absolutely get why, but I enjoy the film that brought ScreenLife to prominence. Whatever criticisms people may have of it, it’s at the very least light years ahead of Bloat, which seems to exist within the Unfriended universe (that film’s incident is referenced on screen here) but has none of the 2014 movie’s coherence or scares. On its surface, the notion of the film is solid. It centers on a military officer (Ben McKenzie), who is unable to obtain leave and communicates with his family as they vacation in

My ★★★½ review of The Party (1968) on #letterboxd: boxd.it/9hynrH

boxd.itA ★★★½ review of The Party (1968)Comparing The Party (Edwards, 1968) & Playtime (Tati, 1967) ... Edwards biographers Peter Lehman and William Luhr said, “The Party may very well be one of the most radically experimental films in Hollywood history; in fact it may be the single most radical film since D.W. Griffith’s style came to dominate the American cinema.” Film historian Saul Austerlitz wrote, “Despite the offensiveness of Sellers’s brownface routine, The Party is one of his very best films… Taking a page from Tati, this is neorealist comedy, purposefully lacking a director’s guiding eye: look here, look there. The screen is crammed full of activity,

So many dynamos

My #letterboxd review for this said it was pretty meh, two and a half stars mainly for Leonora's wardrobe letterboxd.com/anderson_petaq/ #monsterdon

letterboxd.comA ★★½ review of Cat Girl (1957)This film kind of had a slow pace all the way through, and once the reveal of the leopard curse comes to the main character, there aren't any more surprises. I found the depiction of crummy marital relations more frightful than the lycanthropy, but perhaps it was a popular topic for the time. The print was pretty dark and murky B&W, but some of the ladies' costumes looked kind of special if you're into that. I thought the dialogue could have been tightened up however. Pretty sure I'm going to forget everything else about this film shortly.

My ★★★★ review of The Young Lovers on #letterboxd: boxd.it/9gW2gd

boxd.itA ★★★★ review of The Young Lovers (2021)Tardieu demonstrates a great feeling for sensibility and longing… this is what French cinema does best. Dissecting characters and delivering tender heartfelt stories on the big screen. Whoever has claimed French films are always too talkative? Even when they are, it rarely bothered me. Usually it’s well balanced. In general, romance is more served with depth compared to Hollywood ‘drama/comedy’. But to each their own. Ardant (classy, sexy) and Poupaud (classy, sexy) don’t stay on surface and they both are class acts. You might wish it could happen to you. In a way. “Responding to the fear of death with

Borderline - It got funny during the last stretch of the movie, which made me question if it's intentional, because even though its genre is Horror-Comedy, it isn't really scary?

Trigun: Badlands Rumble - Classic.

Detective Conan: Black Iron Submarine - Ran Mouri became a superhero fighting machine.

Detective Conan: The Million-dollar Pentagram - I won't mind if the movie focuses solely on Heiji Hattori vs Kid, over Kazuha Toyama's kiss.

Watched the final episode of the much-discussed Adolescence mini-series on Netflix. Very impressive, but not flawless, in my humble opinion…

letterboxd.comA ★★★★ review of Adolescence (2025)Adolescence features some very impressive performances, and the continuous scenes really enhance the eye-witness feeling, but that also made watching an episode a bit exhausting, particularly the hectic second episode in and around the school. I also thought the school kids were too smart and cheeky in their responses, and I thought the contrast between the behavior of the main character in the first episode and the third episode was too extreme, as if he had suddenly become possessed by a demon. But I was impressed by the emotional power of the final episode. All in all, a very laudable

Why the fuck is Rachel Sennott barely in this?
Ridiculously overwrought suburban dark comedy/thriller about the secrets we keep. Feels like the fictionalized adaptation of a crime documentary white people are watching on Netflix right this second.

letterboxd.comA ★★★ review of Holland (2025)Why the fuck is Rachel Sennott barely in this? Ridiculously overwrought suburban dark comedy/thriller about the secrets we keep. Feels like the fictionalized adaptation of a crime documentary white people are watching on Netflix right this second. Doles out information very slowly so the viewer overthinks what's going on. Nicole Kidman can play these distraught characters in her sleep. Matthew Macfayden goes from barely playing a character in that Deadpool movie to barely playing a character in this. Gael Garcia Bernal is in this and the movie really tries to manage the height discrepancy between him and Kidman. Starts off
