My ★★★★ review of The Bourne Identity on Letterboxd boxd.it/92l3pb
A ★★★★ review of The Bourne Identity (2002)
Comfort viewing of the highest order. I could probably recite half of this movie at this point, and I'm not ashamed to say it. This is also my first review here of a movie I've seen before. It's been ...

I have to start off by saying I don't think I fully 'got' this. It's my first Kurosawa movie and I will definitely be jumping backwards to Cure next (just didn't do my research before watching this). ...

This was my first time seeing Vertigo, but it won't be my last. I have loved every Hitchcock film I have seen, but never went out of my way to find the rest. That may change now. While I won't say it'...

Fun, dumb, and very cool looking. Appropriately gross, and most of the effects looked impressive despite what I assume to be (no research done) a lower end budget. Dialogue and acting choices from som...

Sign of these crappy times: this week Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale, now 40 years old, is back on the Canadian bestsellers list.

For no specific reason I've picked up The Handmaid's Tale for my bedtime read. Ended last night right around here:
Whatever is going on is as usual. Even this is as usual, now. We lived, as usual, by ignoring. Ignoring isn't the same as ignorance, you have to work at it.
