Letterboxd — Your life in film

"I'll get you Mr. Frown All-the-time…"

"Half the time I'm on stage I'm trying not to be seen…"

This is more perfect than I even remembered or expected. One day I'll make a list of the best TV movies I've seen and this will so be on it. I saw it long before my current realisation of how much I Love Hewitt but I remember loving it so much even then, it may even have been what made me watch…

I was not intending to watch this, but I thought I was done for the year watching Mermaids and Christina Ricci would make my most watched list look perfect but I had apparently already watched Mermaids in January so it didn't count so I needed another Christina movie and I remembered this was a New Year story too so… anyway… I was not prepared for her and Gaby Hoffmann's Noo Yawk accents…. anyway this just incredibly late 90s indie in…

('kay I got my Letterboxd 10 most watched of 2018 list in order* but now I'm just trying to perfect it so grabbed the easiest Janette Scott movie I've not yet seen I could find…) I was kind of reeling from a little family incident and dealing with some twitter bullshit while watching this, but even considering that this was basically not a lot more than I expected, like it's basically War of the Worlds/Body Snatchers etc etc it doesn't…

"It's funny how God can forgive you but people can't. I wonder why that is."
"Well that is because people are not very godly."

"You can't legislate morality."

Network after Network, South Park before South Park… one of my fave movies to watch at the end of the year for "Hard Candy Christmas" alone, this movie still hasn't got its due in my opinion, it's a masterpiece and becomes sadly more relevant every time I see it. Old review.

(random…

I've been putting this off for years 'cos I kind of can't stand Zach Braff, especially behind the camera (I kinda hated Garden State, sorry), but I actually kind of enjoyed it even though I don't quite understand why 'cos it does just about every awful thing I expected. The story basically entails Braff's self-centred failed actor slowly realising there are actually other people in the world yet because it's Braff centring Braff in Braff's story you just never quite…

"I refuse to give these kids false hope."
"There's no such thing as false hope."

I think I noticed Christopher Reeve directed this when I added it to my watchlist last year but it'd slipped my mind until I went to log it here, and that sort of makes sense of the fact that, while this is very old school true story TV movie cheesy, it's really powerful in the heart department in a way I'm sure it wouldn't be…

"Is this a Christmas story?"
"Who cares? My forehead is blistering…"

"Is it real coffee? Or some Scandinavian Christmas potion?"

There aren't many Kevin Spacey movies I'd watch at this particular point in time but I did remember that (as in Swimming with Sharks, which I might end the year with, which is also slightly Christmassy) he spends much of the movie tied to a chair being abused (though to a significantly lesser extent than in Sharks). I think the…

I still kinda think this one's surprisingly good, and the only thing really wrong with it is that it's completely unnecessary. I made an argument for those who don't like (or simply don't feel like) subtitles in my old review below* but, honestly, [Rec] is one of those movies that works even if you don't read the subtitles. Anyway I just watched it to round out my Joey King stats for the year lol, it'll be [Rec] all the way…
