Dracula (1992) - Rated 28 Sep 2025
Maybe we should've seen Megalopolis coming. This is a film of stylistic excess, and while I always appreciate that, it gets in the way of its own storytelling - its drama ends up goofy and its romance ends up creepy, and Keanu's oft-maligned performance isn't really weirder than anyone else's. Plus, it sticks close to the book, but jamming reincarnated love into that framework doesn't work, and takes away Mina's original autistic railfan agency. A fun B-movie, but no epic timeless romance.

Morbius (2022) - Rated 20 Sep 2025
Nobody mentioned all the gay subtext - Michael and Milo's relationship is suffused with intimate banter, yearning and cattiness. I'd be happy about that... except it goes in a *truly* uncomfortable direction, casting Milo as the Bad Gay who gives into his desires and it makes him a predator, and Michael as the Good Gay who represses his wants and tries to be straight. Add in their shared chronic blood disease and it's got *ugly* implications. ...and also it's as bad and boring as you've heard!!

Tales of Terror (1962) - Rated 13 Sep 2025
Delightful. A lot of really good actors bouncing off each other, with enough Genuine Creepiness, Hallucinatory Weirdness, and Genuine What-the-Fuckery to give you that Poe-ish frission.

Neptune's Daughter (1949) - Rated 07 Sep 2025
Oh boy, it's one of Those postwar comedies, racing right past Comedy, diving deep into Komedy, and ending up all the way over in Qwamedee. Also, we've all had the conversation about how "Baby It's Cold Outside" isn't actually rapey, but the context they put it in here makes it feel *actually pretty rapey*!! Montalban is always likeable despite the dumb shit he has to say and do, and the big production numbers are very fun, but it's all tainted by the constant condescending racism. Not good.

Amityville 1992: It's About Time (1992) - Rated 06 Sep 2025
The platonic form of a cheesy early-90s direct-to-video horror sequel. There are a few good moments, a few good effects, and a few good performances, but mostly it's just ridiculous nonsense. I'd watch out for some pretty gross effects and an unnecessary dog death, but otherwise it's a riffing delight. 'It's about time, is what.'

Humanity Has Declined (2012) - Rated 04 Sep 2025
A fascinatingly strange series. The premise is elegaic science fiction, and the show leaps off that idea to do slice-of-life absurdist comedy and social satire. But deeper than that, it's about a selfish girl who cares deeply, who lives in a dying world but can't help dedicating herself to the new world being born. And fucks up a lot, but still makes a difference! But that gets expressed thru time loops and memory alteration and the joyful strangeness the fairies embody. Wonderfully weird.

The Man with the Iron Fists (2012) - Rated 30 Aug 2025
This film is such a collection of Cool Things To Happen In Your Wuxia Movie that it must have manifested into existence directly out of the daydreams of a 13-year-old kung fu fan.

Revolutionary Girl Utena (1997) - Rated 26 Aug 2025
It still holds up! There are parts that are perhaps a bit too slow or a bit too oblique, but it ends up so rich, so full of meaning and feeling and character. It shows how, to really change things for the better, you can't just be satisfied with the socially assigned role that's "good" instead of "bad" - you have to keep pushing until the fear and judgment that hold the system together can no longer hold you. Plus surfing elephants and cowbell jewelry!

Blade: Trinity (2004) - Rated 23 Aug 2025
I really don't miss the early 00s. This is a good example of the worst trends of the era, with shitty color grading, action scenes where how "cool" they are is supposed to make up for awful fight choreography, aggressively heterosexualized violence, and Ryan Reynolds spewing a stream of unformed proto-Whedon quips. However, there *is* a vampire Pomeranian! So it could be worse, you know?

ZENSHU (2024) - Rated 22 Aug 2025
An excellent fantasy isekai about how art affects us and how we respond to it, through the lens of an astonishingly autistic woman. It's got a strong homage to the fascinating weirdness of late-80s-early-90s anime, it has a lot of queerness while also having one of the few really good straight focus relationships in anime, and the ending is... basically what you'd expect but done really, REALLY well. And I would love to see the original version of A Tale of Perishing.
