  The Second Mother 2015

  ★★★★ Watched 08 Jun 2023

  I did not expect this to be as entertaining as it was! Not one single dull moment from start to finish. I have to applaud the director for this. She really did a very good job.

  Code of Honor 2016

  ★★★ Watched 06 Jun 2023

  Definitely not as terrible as most Letterboxd users want you to believe. But hey, we all know you should take movie site ratings with a grain of salt (which, of course, includes my own ratings). Anyway, in this case I have to disagree with the majority.

  If you like actioners with lots of shootouts, knife fights, sniper shootings, bloody kills, explosions, ..., I see no reason why you would hate this movie. Seriously, what is not to like about Steven Seagal playing a ruthless vigilante killer.

  And who would have thought that Seagal would get his own Usual Suspects moment?!

  Stalker 1979

  ★★★★★ Added 17

  When a film is the most thrilling to follow, the most gorgeous to look at, the most enchanting to listen to, and the most challenging to interpret, well yes, then it probably is the best film ever made.

  The Lighthouse 2019

  ★★★★½ Watched 24 Dec 2019 8

  The Lighthouse (2019) = Shutter Island (2010) + The Shining (1980)

  Indeed, The Lighthouse is basically a more artistic version of Shutter Island. A major difference between an artistic and an entertaining version of (more or less) the same movie, is that in the latter the film explains itself in the end, whereas in the former very little (if anything) is explained, and the confused viewer must look for an explanation on the internet.

  An explanation like this one, for example:
