Chongqing Hot Pot ain't what you think it is; Tampopo is delightful as always and everyone should see it at least once; Compulsion is the Canadian remake of Korea's 301/302 no one asked for; Patty vs. Patty a surprisingly fun short doc on 1985 Toronto food bureaucracy

When you kick off a four with Polytechnique, you kinda have to pivot hard towards goofball material as a tonal palate cleanser. My Lucky Stars is fun when it's not stuck; California Crisis is a moving Tatsuro Yamashita album cover; Lifeforce is about as nuts as the poster implies. boxd.it/5Jk7H

Three spooks and a spare, in no particular order: Cloud, Kiyoshi Kurosawa's latest thriller and one of his sharpest; The Wailing, which was almost more than I could handle; The Lure, wot got merfolk innit; and Samurai Saga, a shockingly great adaptation of Cyrano de Bergerac starring Toshiro Mifune

been a bit
a few logs behind, but for the sake of the screenshot: Beyond the Black Rainbow ends hilariously; Saga of the Vagabonds kinda rips despite barely readable subtitles; Requiem for a Vampire titillates as much as you can in rural France; Tenebre nears Argento's height, within inches maybe

It's spooky season, thus the spooks: A Chinese Ghost Story (1987, a goofy romantic spook), Cloud (2024, a suspenseful spook), Humane (2024, a Canadian spook), and The Hidden Fortress (1958, not a spook but likely inspired a dozen others in one way or another) boxd.it/5Jk7H

Not content just to have odd dialogue delivered by rough actors, the subtitles on Tubi's version repeatedly insert lines that aren't actually in the script or spoken by anyone, sometimes with funny results

Continuing the spooks with Blood and Black Lace! Did you know in 1960s Italy you could only buy lightbulbs coloured in pinkish purple and sea green? It's true!

Post a movie you like with a terrible Rotten Tomatoes score. (Based on my Letterboxd stats, of course.)
Battle Royale 2 isn't remotely in the same league as the original but I do like it more than most people.

I was just old enough, weird enough, and Canadian enough to be kinda stoked about Bif Naked's random-ass appearance playing at a dorm party in a Buffy episode whenever that aired
but the real answer is Iggy Pop's Vorta on Deep Space Nine

So close but not the whole cigar (?) for Johnnie To's Three; Werner Herzog finds a colder way to nearly kill himself in The Dark Glow of the Mountains; it's all been said about Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome; Cosmos is a hidden gem inside a hidden gem, especially if you're a Villeneuve person
