The Strange Thing About the Johnsons, 2011 - ★★★
Yes it’s disturbing but there’s nothing supernatural about it.
Near Dark, 1987 - ★★★★
It’s worth a watch despite the lame performance of the male lead. Henricksen and Paxton are wonderful, and Bigelow’s makes the thing a visually classic and novel experience at the same time.
The Amusement Park, 1975 - ★★
These are all things I have seen happening to Oder folks. It’s a sad sad movie whose true horror is the inevitability that we may all face one or more of these deep indignities if we are lucky enough to grow old.
Sunshine, 2007 - ★★
The star power is impressive, with Michelle Yeoh and Chris Evans and Cillian Murphy and Rose Byrne. The story is Event Horizon light and not one of Boyle’s best by a long short but it’s a beautifully shot film.
Synchronic, 2019 - ★★★
As usual, this directing duo puts an interesting new spin on a very old kind of story. It’s a worthy addition to the time travel category.
Sound of Metal, 2019
A stunning movie. I don’t know how well it portrays being deaf, but it moved me with its portrayal of being someone who can hear who suddenly starts to lose that hearing.
SPOILER AHEAD:
The scene in the bed where he realizes she has moved on and is so much better for it and he tells her it’s okay just destroyed me.
Parasite, 2019 - ★★★★
I can’t remember when I watched this but it was a while ago. It was incredibly strange and disturbing and worth watching if those things don’t scare you off.
The Lighthouse, 2019 - ★★★★
Buy the ticket, take the ride, smell the farts, be disturbed and left with a lot of questions and a day or so of your inner monologue speaking like a drunken Shakespearean character
Earwig and the Witch, 2020 - ★
Abrupt ending, animation not great, decent first draft of a story and movie at best
