    WAY better than I expected, and not a direct remake

    Like if Frenzy was good

    ★½

    DNF. Unpleasant, and surprisingly dull for a Hitchcock movie.

  • John Wick: Chapter 4

    John Wick: Chapter 4

    ★★½

    Liked the others, but can only recommend the last hour of this one. You can start it around 1h50m, when they play the Martha Reeves cover

  • I Married a Witch

    I Married a Witch

    ★★★★½

    could almost be an Adult Swim show

  • Blade II

    Blade II

    ★★½

    I'm including half a star for the light bombs in the sewer tunnels, but cool lighting tricks are table stakes for a vampire movie.

  • My Own Private Idaho

    ★★

    DNF

  • Sullivan's Travels

    Sullivan's Travels

    ★★★★½

    I think there are less than a dozen really perfect screwball comedies, and Sullivan's Travels is right on the edge. It's a perfect *something.* Reminds me of Born Yesterday a decade later, in that it should be too preachy to age well, but it still wins you over.

    ★★★★½

    Great movie and a great NYC time capsule — kind of like a darker Ghostbusters

    "Well fuck, Bridget, this was YOUR idea. If you don't like your ideas, then stop HAVING them."

    “Also, I brought cocaine just in case”

  • Psycho

    ★★★★★

    I was in the "perfect movie except for the psychiatrist scene" camp, but on a second viewing I think even that worked
