Nonsense. Lovely, lovely nonsense.

Gonna start calling out for Mr Bennet whenever anything of note happens in my life.

There's an inauthenticity here that kinda dampens the whole thing. Feels like a lifetime movie where everyone is playing dress-up.

Still have a soft spot for melodrama though and the finale was strong. Also the lack of any kind of breathing room between the climax and credits was a cute little throwback to an older time in film.

"I'm not crazy. You and me... we're not crazy, right?"

Horrible, vicious, cruel, lonely film. Made me feel like shit. Loved it. Absolutely loved it.

Legitimately my comfort movie.

I've seen this so many times that I'm anticipating line reads at this point.

There's an American Israeli in this that, when asked whether they were American, responds with "Do I look chinese?". Feel like that kinda sums up everything.

I'm gonna be humming Bole Chudiyan whilst I empty the dish washer for a good few weeks.

Also if I was SRK in this, I would have straight up murdered my father.

Anytime a vampire movie uses the "you have to invite me in" trope, I'm a happy camper.

The best Coogler-Jordan collaboration yet. Needed a bit more Vampire action at the end but outside of that, it was a pretty flawless movie. Hit all the right notes and drew blood out of the vampire stone in ways I didn't expect and expanded my horizons on what you can do with the genre.

The end credits were maybe the most evil, sickening thing I've seen in a long time in a theater. Honestly kinda great, but also I do like an evil war movie.

Christopher Landon makes horror films set in a world where Mickey Mouse is real and that's why I like him.

Opened my eyes to the power of documentary filmmaking from a young age. One of the best films ever made. So unbelievably watchable and filled with Guys that just don't exist any more. You don't get nerds like this these days. Because of woke.

We're reaching levels of Dudes Rock never thought possible. We're at critical condition. The Dudes can't possibly Rock any further or there will be dire consequences for us all.

Shoutout woke Matt Damon. Love woke Matt Damon. You need a guy like that in any organisation.

"We exploited hatred. We kept feeding our resentment. We even thought our hate would save us... And the result was the birth of that monster which has now come to return our hatred upon our own heads. If it's possible... for us to have a future again... I will not make the same mistakes... I swear it. If we see... another tomorrow..."

I'm in awe right now. I saw it last night and I can't stop thinking about it. Cements itself as one of the best shows I've ever seen and I'm so happy I stuck to my guns and waited for this to come out in cinemas to see it end on the big screen. Gonna have to watch it again and get my thoughts together because right now, all I can think is "movie good I liked movie very much".

Honestly, this film is like a warm hug to me.

The perfect comfort flick.

A solid little flick that I wouldn't recommend to anyone unless they actively like Bob Dylan and his music.

Kinda crazy that Eggers decided to remake Nosferatu in his realist style. That's like making an eggless omelette. The photography is so disted and needless throughout, filled with purposeless camera movement to the point that in one of the many "characters talking in opulent rooms" scenes, the camera follows the cast around as if they're in The West Wing.

To make things worse, Lily-Rose Depp was awful. Just awful. Really, really awful. Also Skarsgard's Orlok is far too goofy to take seriously in any way. The more I think about this movie, the more I realise I don't like it.

Also I'm calling it on slavish remakes of Bram Stoker's Dracula. Dracula is not a great novel and people need to stop pretending that material is sacred. You can do your own thing.

Saw this once years ago and never quite clicked with it. Had always wanted to give it another shot because every Lynch film seems to click on a second viewing for me. This one was no different. Absolutely arresting. Heartbreaking to think we won't see him again.

Also I gotta say, I love Jack Nance whenever he shows up in these films. Just a compelling and fun screen presence.

I get the feeling this is one of those films that I'm gonna like more and more each time I see it. Possibly Leo's best performance.

I don't think any country does revenge melodrama as well as Korea.

Fantastic show with some hints of k-drama that make it so addictive you just don't want to stop.

My first step into classic Who and it was a pretty great starting point. Tom Baker is an amazing Doctor and Davros was great as always.

Watched on Saturday January 4, 2025.

A lot of people take issue with the way Tennant goes out but honestly, for a Doctor that's so close to Human, it makes sense.

No, my issue with The End of Time is the exact same issue I have with every other Russell T Davies Who finale. It suddenly becomes an action blockbuster and the Doctor is sidelined in favour of spectacle and the solution is always very simple and dull. I watch Doctor Who because it's about a guy who can save the day with his stupid big brain. But once we hit the end of a RTD season, the solution is shouting and characters shooting energy beams and things happening around the Doctor without his involvement. Sure it can be entertaining, but it's not what makes Doctor Who great. It's just not it.

Despite this, it's still a decent end to the Tennant era. Not my favourite era though exactly because he's the "human" Doctor. I like mine more alien and not so caught up in romance, two things Tennant wasn't so good at.

28 Days Later/Sunshine but with The Doctor.

This was a 10/10 before I even pressed play. I was always going to like this episode. Nothing I could do was gonna change that outcome.

Meat and potatoes Oscar bait. The backbone of the western theatrical diet. Good stuff.

Good 'ole fashioned 6/10. As God intended. All is right in the world.

Just realised this is the first film I've seen in 2025. A sign of things to come?

Straight up, this was absolutely lovely, cute and very funny. Glen Powell was destined to be a star and every pre-Maverick performance I see only makes me surer of that.

Reminded me of The Shield and I love The Shield so a weaker version of The Shield is still better than no version of The Shield.

Wes Anderson makes some of the most bittersweet, honest, emotional and hilarious films I've ever seen. No matter the film, it's guaranteed to contain at least one moment of poignant emotional connection that comes completely out of nowhere.

In anticipation of Dunkirk being released, I thought I'd do this because I'm bored. Haven't seen Insomnia or Following. Notes give some explanations on choices.

1. The Dark Knight

   I can't count how many times I've seen this film. Works every time. Also, I need to reiterate just how incredible Heath Ledger is. That point has been beaten into the ground, but when you go back and watch the interrogation scene you can see why. Probably one of the best villains in cinema.

2. Interstellar

   When people talk about that theater experience that justifies going out to see a movie, this is the movie they're talking about.

3. The Dark Knight Rises

   Does the movie jump the shark in of logic at times? Yes.

   Does that ruin what is an intense and emotional experience? No.

4. Dunkirk
5. Inception

   If Ellen Page wasn't a lifeless drone spouting exposition then this movie could have been better. Also there's something about Leonardo Dicaprio that makes him hard to take seriously at times.

6. Doodlebug

   The movie film students have been trying to make for years.

7. Batman Begins

   I saw this in theatre's as a kid, and I usually like origin stories of superhero's the most, but something about this film never fully landed for me.

8. Memento

   The finale is incredibly smart, but much like Blade Runner, that doesn't make me retroactively give a shit about the rest of the movie.

9. The Prestige

   The twist is obvious and the characters and story are uninteresting.

Making lists is quite therapeutic, what can I say.

A definitive ranking of films that are either romantic comedies, straight up romance, or include romance as a key element within the film. AKA, the romance genre of letterboxd gets ranked [at least those that I've seen].

Some of the rankings may seem a bit mad, but it's purely ranked via my enjoyment and fond memories of each film. So yes I did rank Twilight: New Moon above Vertigo. Yes I'm as confused as you are. Read the notes for some explanations.

1. When Harry Met Sally...

   Perfect romantic comedy. Every single scene is full of great character driven humour and drama.

2. Brooklyn

   I totally didn't cry watching this.

3. Slumdog Millionaire

   I've seen this multiple times and it never disappoints.

4. My Sassy Girl

   Terrible title, incredible film.

5. The Handmaiden

   Outstanding in every aspect.

6. American Pie 2

   This movie is amazing and I'll hear nothing against it.

7. The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya

   Perfect gloomy, almost depressed atmosphere.

8. (500) Days of Summer
9. Aladdin
10. Love Exposure

    This 4 hour epic felt like 2 hours. You don't see that every day.
