Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale 2010

★★★½ Watched 29 Nov 2023

A dark Christmas fairytale that also happens to be a charming modern Amblin riff. While I'd have still like to have actually seen evil kaiju Santa in his element, the oddball "elves" are intriguing and weird final moments make up for it in a very different way.
The Long Kiss Goodnight 1996

★★★★½ Rewatched 28 Nov 2023 2

This film holds up BEAUTIFULLY. Sure, there are some wonky moments here and there (usually FX plate shots), but good god is it otherwise great. I always liked it, but now I flat out love it.
Black's script is stupendous, the supporting cast is fun (particularly Cox & Morse), Bierko makes an excellent crazy-eyed psycho, and Davis & Jackson are sublime. Harlin also brings his A-game too, including some horror flourishes from his early career. Fantastic flick. No notes.

Prey 2022

★★★★½ Watched 05 Aug 2022

More words to come later, but this is easily the best entry in the series in over 30 years. They just nailed it across the board here.
The Mummy 1932

★★★★★ Rewatched 28 May 2017

I love this one more and more each time I watch it. It's not a lumbering monster movie, but it also doesn't need to be.
