Max My Love

1986

★★★★★ Liked Watched

He suspected his wife of monkey business, now he's got a real chi(m)p on his shoulder!

The Wicker Man

1973

★★★★★ Liked Rewatched

I always said if I could live in one cinematic universe it would be Dazed and Confused but being a resident of Summerisle is obviously a very close second.

Cecil B. Demented

2000

★★½ Watched

Doesn't have the magic of his earlier movies but there's still some gold sprinkled throughout. If it wasn't John Waters, you'd be rolling your eyes at all the sixth form name dropping.

Dirty Work

1998

★★ Watched

Watched the original cut. You can see why this is somewhat forgotten. The two leads both lack presence leaving Chevy Chase and Chris Farley to do the heavy lifting in smaller roles. Lots of classic 90s visuals, music and misogynistic and homophobic jokes, as was the style in those days. I don't regret watching it and laughed at parts but it's not something I'll be rushing back to.

Like going to a fancy restaurant where everything looks and smells* delicious but as soon as you come out you head straight in to your local kebab shop.

Altered States

1980

★★★★ 4

One time, when was much younger, I was on a trip and was convinced I'd invented egg mayonnaise. I was confused and annoyed when I bought a sandwich from the 24 hr supermarket and couldn't understand how they'd packaged my idea that I'd literally just invented. What I'm trying to say is, I totally buy into the concept of this film.
