It is crazy that Tarantino might be the most important director when it comes to "creating cinephiles."
But if you actually do start diving into film, you will find that he just stole most of his most iconic moments.

When I first saw Pontypool years ago, I thought "Oh, this is a really interesting idea for a "zombie" movie."
It wasn't a homerun of a film, but I give a lot of credit for people who try to bring interesting ideas into film. Especially a genre that can be really cliched.

Trump isn't worth the effort. And quite frankly, Brett Ratner is a creep and his movie doesn't deserve the Streisand Effect review bombing it would generate

Tonight's movie is going to have to be Possession. It truly is a masterpiece of horror.
While Possession touches on many different themes, its exploration of gender norms and romantic obsession is decades ahead of its time. 📽️
