  Titane 2021

  ★★★★ Watched by Robert Hayes 02 Dec 2021

  What the fire-emblazoned-Cadillac-fuck did I just watch?

  King Kong 1933

  ★★★★ Watched by Robert Hayes 10 Feb 2022 5

  The grandaddy of FX-driven blockbusters, with Fay Wray, cinema's original scream queen. The middle (and longest) section taking place on the island went on a little long for my tastes. But that's only a minor criticism as the film is massively entertaining otherwise.

  Code of Honor 1930

  ★★ Watched by Robert Hayes 21 May 2022

  Fairly basic Western set-up with stilted acting. There were some technical things to admire, though, and the film is bookended with a decent chase and fistfight.

  Marked Woman 1937

  ★★★½ Watched by Robert Hayes 21 May 2022

  A really compelling story that makes for interesting viewing in this (post-)#MeToo era. Bette Davis does really well, although the hysterics were a little too much sometimes. Humphrey Bogart also does well, but he wasn't in it as much as I was expecting.

  ★★½ Watched by Robert Hayes 17 May 2022 3

  Worst. Batman movie. Ever. (Although FWIW, it was better than Fant4stic.)

  Playground 2021

  ★★★★ Watched by Robert Hayes 19 May 2022

  This is how you do a film about children (but not necessarily for them) without being exploitative. The way you see this unfold as if through the eyes of a child is incredible, and the performances were just as good. I also see this being added to French class curricula in the future.
