  The Man Who Haunted Himself 1970

  ★★★★½ Watched by nikki 08 May 2021

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  “Espionage isn't all James Bond on Her Majesty's Secret Service. Industry goes in for it too, you know.”

  The Man Who Haunted Himself is a 1970 British psychological thriller film written and directed by Basil Dearden which follows a man who becomes convinced he has a doppelgänger.

  Starring Bond #3 in a role predating his turn as the spy, Roger Moore is the highlight of this mind bending twist on the Jekyll and Hyde tale.

  Dead Poets Society 1989

  ★★★★½ Watched by nikki 17 Apr 2020 5

  "Oh Captain, my Captain!"

  This review discusses homophobia, emotional abuse and suicide, so if you're sensitive to those topics, I would recommend maybe shying away.

  Ever since I've started reviewing movies here on Letterboxd, I've cometo somewhat of a realisation; I cry way too easily when watching good, or sometimes not-so-good, but still emotional, movies.

  I've been recommended Dead Poets Society a number of times now from mutuals on my Twitter, but never really got around to watching because I…

  Destroy All Monsters 1968

  ★★★★ Watched by nikki 03 Jul 2022

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  “The monster force with Godzilla is approaching.”

  Destroy All Monsters is a 1968 Japanese kaiju film directed by Ishirō Honda which follows Earth’s monsters as they are controlled by an alien force whilst being rounded up and herded onto the island of Monsterland. 

  Featuring 11 different Kaiju, this is the most ambitious Godzilla film yet, even if that often comes at the expense of characters or logic. 

  Still, big monsters go bang bang, it’s a lot of fun, particularly anything Minilla does because he’s so lame that I love him.

  Overall, this was pretty fun.

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  “What do stars do? They shine.”

  Stardust is a 2007 romantic fantasy adventure film directed by Matthew Vaughn which follows a young man who embarks on a fantastical quest to find a star in order to win the heart of a woman he’s obsessed with.

  An adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s 1999 novel of the same name, Stardust is one of my all time favourite films, a mix of nostalgia as I remember first watching it as a kid, and a…

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  “Wanna see a magic trick?”

  The Black Phone is a 2021 (wide released 2022) American supernatural horror film directed by Scott Derrickson which follows an abducted teenager who uses a mysterious phone to communicate with the previous victims of his captor.

  Adapted from the Joe Hill short story of the same name, The Black Phone is Derrickson’s return to horror following his brief stint in Marvel and its more than welcome — this might just be my favourite horror film…
