My top five movies of 2025:

#5: Weapons

Zach Cregger is the real deal, making capital-H Horror movies with real scares. The sprawling plot, which spends the majority of it's runtime circling the central mystery while each viewpoint character adds new levels of intrigue, is a true achievement.

I’ve got a 2026 resolution for some people.

Stop saying that you don’t consider that horror movie you liked “horror”.

Weapons is horror. Sinners is horror. The Substance is horror. Hereditary is horror. It is okay to admit you enjoyed a horror film, you pretentious prick.

#Dogs with Basenji‑like features appear in the petroglyphs of Tassili n’Ajjer ( #Algeria ), dating back 8,000 years.
Later, in #Egypt, Pharaoh Intef II had his beloved Basenji carved beneath the royal throne — a bond already unbreakable 4,000 years ago.

Jodie Foster est magnifique in the somewhat messy, but slyly funny French psychological thriller A PRIVATE LIFE. She has such lovely chemistry with Daniel Auteuil. Fun, genre-bending mystery. #filmsky #fyc

Tissilogia – Tietoteos rintojen merkityksistä, myyteistä, painolastista ja vapautumisesta (Tammi, 2025) on tietosarjakuva, joka ystävällisesti selittää itsensä alaotsikossaan.

Ja hyvä tietoteos olikin! Rintojen vuosisataisia kulttuurillisia merkityksiä […]

Avaruudessa kuolemisen haasteita on paitsi loistavasti nimetty teos, myös sarjis jonka voi fiiliksestä riippuen lukea kevyesti tai raskaasti. Hyllyyssä on tavattu lukea raskaasti. #sarjakuvat
Arvio: Avaruudessa kuolemisen haasteita – Pieni filosofinen sarjis kevyesti tai raskaasti

NO OTHER CHOICE: Park Chan-wook's latest is a dark comedy/thriller that maniacally plays a tale of mortality as a vicious metaphor for capitalism. Featuring a magnificent performance from Lee Byung-hun and impeccable craftwork on display, it's another deliciously stunning masterwork. #filmsky

A Tale of Two Sisters (2003) - 7/10

Some genuine scary moments, loved the performance from the actress playing the mom, a good story overall, lots of plot twists, but what the fuck happened in the editing room for those last 30 minutes to make it so confusing to understand?

There was no mystery nor crime in this "cosy crime" novella. 🧐
Just overly sweet fairy tale couple who work in a fancy hotel.
There are much better holiday reads.

Exit 8 (2025)

★☆☆☆

Adaptation paresseuse à s‘en décrocher la mâchoire et qui aurait gagné à n’être qu’un court-métrage.

✍️ La suite ici :

Exit 8 made me want to find the cinema exit. 😊 Too dull in its endless repetitions.
Better spend time with M.C. Escher art book.
#LFF film 1: Exit 8
★★☆☆☆
Stars for originality and Japaneseness. No stars for wafer-thin story and very unconvincingly unintelligent behaviour in what is essentially a fairly simple puzzle scenario

advertised as a comedy but surprisingly like, a deeply sad and melancholic flick. very lonely movie that benefits greatly from being watched on a rainy saturday afternoon. i really dug it. cast was pretty stacked too, had a jimmy o. yang jumpscare

I would recommend Small Things Like These, which has all the rich texture of Claire Keegan’s book. This interview spotlights Cillian Murphy, whose quiet resolution as Bill Furlong is as arresting as the restrained menace of Emily Watson as Sister Mary.

Small Things Like These is so quiet, sometimes it feels like you’re sinking into. Drags you feetfirst into what true goodness is, and why some revolutionary acts are small, silent, precious.

Cillian Murphy at his most understated. And that’s saying something.

Vuoden 13. romaani luettu.

Riitta Heimosen Äkkiä on ilta (WSOY 2025) vie lukijansa sinne, mikä odottaa useimpia meitä: omien vanhempien muistisairauden äärelle.

Romaani tarjoaa lakonista huumoria, kertojan oman vanhenemisen kohtaamista ja sukupolvien ketjua, jossa roolit pysyvät.
