First time I remember seeing Kier was as Lorenzini in The Adventures of Pinocchio. As a child obsessed with movie villains, he made a profound impact.

Fuck. I’m absolutely gutted to hear that Udo Kier passed away. Such a legendary figure who was always a captivating performer. This loss really hurts.

MARTY SUPREME is a propulsive tale of self-obsession that mainly succeeds due to Chalamet’s incredibly captivating performance. He’s a guide through a tense landscape, often excessive in tone, but always compelling. Great crafts and an endearing ensemble on display as well.

WICKED: FOR GOOD has a decent number of engaging sequences that often get weighed down by a clunky script and lethargic pacing. Most of the numbers feel static with less exuberance. But Erivo and Grande shine, especially the emotional depths of the latter. A rocky conclusion.

Last time I watched From Dusk till Dawn was with an edible, and I imagined a new interpretation where the Juliette Lewis character was actually a secret psychopath who wanted the Geckos to murder her family so she could run away with them. It was a novel way to experience the film.

Saw Nouvelle Vague. I liked it. Immediately went to look up the actor who plays Seberg’s husband. His name is Paolo Luka-Noé.

It’s been so long since I last bought a magazine but there was no way I could pass on owning this one.

Finally got the chance to see Peter Hujar’s Day. I found it to be a fascinating exercise that plainly examines an artist’s observations that can be shaded with both humor and melancholy. Whishaw gives a sublime and soulful performance, captivating in every frame.

WAKE UP DEAD MAN is another engaging chapter in the Knives Out saga, this one bolstered by a good ensemble led by a riveting Josh O’Connor. The mystery is more a vehicle for spiritual commentary, which can stretch thin with the runtime. But it’s still a fun and compelling ride.

THE RUNNING MAN is propelled by Glen Powell’s powerful charisma and a handful of engaging action sequences. But its pacing is tedious, the writing is clunky, and the tone never really reaches a level that is consistently thrilling. Wright’s efforts mostly feel bland and mundane.

Never really been into Joe Keery all that much, but I am very much into how this shirt is fitting him.

Decided to rewatch On Swift Horses recently, and have to say that I find myself liking it a bit more. Far from perfect, but I really like these characters. The ensemble is fantastic. Another great performance this year from Elordi. I’m in the minority of championing this film.
