Nosferatu is startling in its cinematography and its content. A remake of F.W Murnau’s 1922 film, it leans away from the expressionism the original has, but it’s beautifully directed and great performances all around. I dislike the inclusion of jump scares, however.

It’s not been a great year for film. I think that goes without saying. Madame Web is an example of throwing literally anything at the wall and hoping it sticks. Shot miserably, edited through a wood chipper, and worse dubbing than a Franco Nero western, rarely have I seen a film this poor

Talking Heads asks two questions: who are you and what do you want in life? Makes you think deeply about what you really want in life and how priorities change with age.

What can be said about True Romance that hasn’t been said? Tarantino and Avary’s script covers itself in a beautiful sense of style while Tony Scott’s direction perfectly puts the words into scene. It makes me wonder if Tarantino wrote more for Tony Scott.

The Boxer delivers quick hits of action and simmering drama while being extremely well edited and shot. Rocky is the obvious comparison, but the anime Ashita no Joe is a better example. Easily digestible, but enough flavor to make it enjoyable

Rodeo is a short film by Carroll Ballard, who would direct The Black Stallion 10 years later. Short, stressful, and wonderfully energetic.

The Sea Wolf, based on the Jack London novel, doesn’t follow the story perfectly, but bolstered by Edward G Robinson’s outstanding performance, it serves as an exceptional character drama.

The Thirsty Dead is a terrible, boring, disinteresting movie whose B movie charm wears off quickly once you realize the plot goes nowhere.

Oh man! I totally forgot about Look Back! A fantastic (and short) little anime film that’s absolutely worth everyone’s time. It’s one of the best anime films, outside of Miyazaki’s films, in years. Currently streaming on Amazon Prime.
