Manhattan (1979) - Rated 25 Sep 2025
"An utterly funny and heartfelt love letter to the bittersweet-ness of life and tragic leaps of faith for the undying dream of love."
Dogtooth (2009) - Rated 25 Sep 2025
"The thing is, saying that a child is born from a cabbage is no better than saying that "cunt" means a large lamp. And at least they know to keep a boy under control means to make sure he never empties his balls by himself!"
Cape Fear (1962) - Rated 22 Sep 2025
"The fighting scenes at the end are a bit of a drag, and neither the ambiguous element about sexuality nor the primal character of criminality are as prominently shown as in Scorsese's remake. Still, a very well-made horror, and Robert Mitchum gives a great performance."
The Night of the Hunter (1955) - Rated 22 Sep 2025
The Front (1976) - Rated 22 Sep 2025
"Woody Allen and Zero Mostel are great in this film."
Love and Death (1975) - Rated 19 Sep 2025
"A brilliant comedy take of THE SEVENTH SEAL (1957)."
Shifty (2025) - Rated 12 Sep 2025
"Using seemingly fragmentary technological traces, Adam Curtis succeeds in picturing the 1980s to 2000s in Britain as the time when the question of political and economic sovereignty got thoroughly recreated and lost under the combined influence of technological innovations and neoliberal myth. When the dream of a capitalist individualism turns out to be completely failing and nightmarish, do we truly have any clue of an alternative, or do we only know how to sink deeper in its consequences?"
Citizen Kane (1941) - Rated 04 Sep 2025
"The tragedy of the figure of the era of analogue media, or the tragedy of that era itself: how the manipulation of desire gives the grandest fantasy of "the love of the people", only to expose it as the nightmare of mimetic drives as empty as the blowing wind. A great film in every perspective, with incredible performance and directing given by a 25-year-old Orson Welles."
Dirty Dancing (1987) - Rated 13 Aug 2025
"Melodramatic "Uptown Girl" story, with some enjoyable dance scenes."
Cabaret (1972) - Rated 13 Aug 2025
"People struggling for the good things in their life, in all its livelihood and mess, as the terrifying darkness was dawning. Foreboding, but filled with a sense of enjoyment in life, and a spirit of love in each other's lowness."
