A ★★★★ review of Darkman (1990)
I’m learning to live with a lot of things This RULES!! The laughable script doesn’t really take away from how well crafted and sick this is. I’m not always 100% on Raimi but this makes me want to rewatch the Spidey’s.

A ★★★★★ review of Train Dreams (2025)
Easy fave of the year. The cinematography is so striking and the high frame rate makes it feel even more jarring. From the first few moments I knew this was going to hit me hard. I’m so glad Netflix still releases a few decent movies per year amid the sea of garbage. Favorites of 2025

A ★★★★ review of Ghost of Kasane Swamp (1970)
Probably my favorite of the three in the Daiei Gothic Vol 2 set. Not as creepy or scary as the others but also more of a straight-forward classical style story. Really interesting supplement talking about the history of the story.

I really dug the style of this but I’m not sure how well it worked overall. Still interesting enough to be worth a watch.

Watched with the Ebert commentary This already goes extremely hard even without the incredible added context from Roger Ebert. So many genius effects that would otherwise go unnoticed (which speaks to how damn good they are).

I got the new 4k disc because I remember really liking this but it did not hit the same this time. Some funny lines and gags but the overall tone just felt grating, it felt long for ~90 mins 😅
