My thoughts about the films can be checked out in my review thread :)

Excellent documentary on a 1977 kidnapping, a story I knew nothing about. It's tense and the kidnapper has quite the personality. What I found so fascinating to watch was all of the police and media so close to them yet so helpless because of how the shotgun was rigged with wire. A very good watch for crime doc fans.

Old: After Life

Newer: I wish

I don't think I've seen a bad film from him. His ability to convey modern family dynamics is extraordinary. Like Ozu reincarnated.

Kvinden i buret (2013)
The Keeper of Lost Causes

A Danish Nordic Noir. I watched the later film from this series a while back (A Conspiracy of Faith) and now the earlier films are also on Netflix. It's not as good as that newer one but still quite solid. Little far fetched story (though I liked the flashback scenes which were very giallo-like) and the ending is far too similar to that other film (a fault of the newer film sure but I saw them in wrong order). Nothing groundbreaking but worth a watch for fans of Nordic Noir.

João Maia, 2019


A biography of one of my favorite singers of all time, António Variações. The acting by Sérgio Praia is superb, I didn't though it could be possibly made, such a difficult task to impersonate such a strange, original creature, so much identity this cat had. In 1970-1980 people said Portugal was 20 years behind everybody else, especially mentally, having someone with such deep, worldwide lyrics is something even now hard to imagine, I sometimes try to contemplate how could such a being come out of a immensely old fashioned, christian rooted traditional environment, is mind blowing, I get chicken skin just from trying to imagine. I was planning on not watching the film because I thought they would ruin the image of someone I'm so passionate about, glad I did.

I watched The Irishman recently. At first, I appreciated it as commendable and thoughtful through and through, but I've found that since I've watched it, I've begun developing a deeper affection for it. Great film.

Intriguing. Looking forward to it.

I have The Third Murder ready and waiting to go. For convenience, I might go for it.

I also re-watched Krampus and The Night Before because I wanted some "holiday" themed viewings for my blog-site. I think they're both charming and enjoyable, but I wouldn't call them great films. Great Christmas-themed films, maybe.

Under The Sand (2000)


Brooding, psychological mystery by Ozon. Charlotte Rampling takes up most of the screentime and do so excellently.

Custer's Last Stand (Elmer Clifton, 1936)
Eventually gets to Little Big Horn ... with the emphasis on the 'Little'

Without giving any specifics away this abridged (but still feature-length version) of the low-budget serial might not be great but is still good enough to push Blazing Stewardesses down a notch on my list

Re watched this two days ago actually but forgot to "paste it" here. Grew on me, a masterpiece indeed: Kurosawa was a genius, his style transcends cultural barriers while simultaneously being highly culturally representative. 9.5/10

Ready or Not (2019)

Seeing this trailer in the theater months ago made this look exceptionally dumb, but the reviews and word of mouth has been positive.

It turned out better than I originally expected, yet I still don't understand all the praise some people are giving it. It's a fun little movie that just tries to stand on its own. Reminds me of Happy Death Day a bit, but I enjoyed that one more.

I just happened to get Maborosi on an impulse a couple years ago when a video store was going out of business. Really beautiful film. I had no idea who Hirokazu Koreeda was, but with all this praise he's looking like someone I'll have to really pay attention to.

Might even be a good candidate for the 10 films by the same director category in the 2020 challenge.
