A ★★★★★ review of Anora (2024)
Perhaps one of the best films of 2024, Anora is a deep dive into perceived love, and how we will cling to something we believe we care about until the very last moment. Sex worker Annie (Mickey Madiso...

David Lynch's films were beyond dream and imagination. They are a glimpse into the mind of one the cinema's great creatives. His 1984 version of Dune is a prime example of that. Moviegoers was not ready for Lynch's sci-fi epic at the time, but it maintained a cultural footprint.

Beyond dream and imagination is where beloved director David Lynch would stake his claim in the pantheon of American filmmakers. His storytelling was strange, alienating to some, and yet it maintained...

🎥 Robert Eggers did not create a symphony of horror in his version of Nosferatu, but he did deliver us a dark, evil rendition of the classic tale.

🎥 In preparation for watching Robert Eggers' Nosferatu tonight, I decided to take the day to revisit the pervious two tellings of the Dracula novel. F.W. Murnau's 1922 is truely a symphony of horror.
A ★★★★★ review of Nosferatu (1922)
It is a bit of a cliche to say that a film ‘continues to X, so many years after it was first released’, but that is exactly how I feel watch the now 103-year-old Nosferatu. F.W. Murnau’s symphony of h...

I watched 384 movies in 2024, fewer than 2023 but still good. There was a lull in July but otherwise consistent. Christopher Lee was again my most watched actor but glad to see Marlene Dietrich in the top three.

🎥 I was the first person to review the Mongolian romantic drama The Story of Us on Letterboxd. It's fine, and it helped me learn more about the daily lives of average Mongolians.

My final film of 2024, The Story of Us relies heavily on the tropes, history and cultural connections of its home country of Mongolia. I get the impression it was never really meant to be watched by t...

🎥 A goal of mine in 2025 is to get better at writing movie reviews. It is a type of creative writing I enjoy but still have a lot to learn. That said, my review of Judgement at Nuremberg (1961) is alright, in my humble opinion.

One day on from ROH Final Battle and I’m still reeling from this return. Nigel is one of the ROH greats and to see him on the PPV was so cool. I was yelling at my TV - it’s during those moments you know you’re watching good wrestling.
He is the former #ROH World Champion & the longest reigning Pure Champion in Ring of Honor history!

I added a hardcover edition of Frankenstein printed on black paper to my bookshelf this week.
I recommend no fewer than 4 copies of any beloved book. A paperback for traveling and lending to friends, an eBook for reading with greasy snack fingers, an audio book so you know how the characters' names are actually pronounced, and a pristine hardcover to be buried with you like a pharaoh
