Murina 2021

★★★½ Watched by PhillyFilmFan 31 Jul 2022

Really liked this Croatian family drama. It has a noir feel that puts you in a constant state of tension, which contrasts w/ the paradise-like setting in an interesting way. Ultimately it's about a young woman navigating a world stacked against her.
Port Sinister 1953

★★★½ Watched by PhillyFilmFan 30 Jul 2022 1

A secret pirate island full of stolen treasure emerges from the water after a volcanic eruption & William Schallert (a personal fav of mine) schemes to get the booty for himself. Rare public screening!

Tenet 2020

★★★½ Watched by PhillyFilmFan 11 Dec 2020

The key to enjoying this film is to think about it enough to follow the plot but not *so much* that you start to have questions. Take it on faith that it all works otherwise you'll lose a week of your life to making diagrams trying to sort it out.
The Shining 1980

★★★★★ Rewatched by PhillyFilmFan 23 Apr 2014 2

Watching The Shining forwards & backwards at the same time challenges you to find your own meaning in the chaos. Psychic Teens just rocked it! I can't imagine a more perfect soundtrack. Thanks Cinedelphia Film Festival!
