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
