I watched:

• The Wild Robot. I was hoping for something along the lines of Wall-E, and was disappointed. The Wild Robot doesn’t have that kind of broad appeal. It’s aimed at children only, and it’s pretty shallow.
• Heretic. Very good mood building and pacing. Good acting. I enjoyed it, but I didn’t quite feel like the last parts held together well. Pretty good movie though.
• Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. A bit of light-weight fun. This kind of movie doesn’t demand the kind of precision that Heretic needs - which is good, because certainly don’t have it! But I think it did a decent job of being what it was trying to be; a good sequel to the first movie. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would based on what I’d read.

Ainda estou aqui or “im still here” as it is known in english. It is out in cinemas now. It is based on a true story and a stark reminder of why we should not forget history. It was really well done and I recommend it to everyone. The whole cinema was silent watching it.

Knives out. Great movie never expected that performance. Knives out 2, glass onion. Starting to get convoluted but still a nice movie. Bullet train. Just a fun rump.

Last night I watched Red Room (2023) which was excellent, one of the scariest movies I’ve seen in ages, and not a moment of gore.

Couple days ago I watched Todd Haynes’ Far From Home (2003) without knowing ahead of time that it was a remix of Douglas Sirk’s 50s melodramas, but it was a really pleasant surprise. It inspired me to watch Fassbinder’s Ali: Fear Eats The Soul which I unsurprisingly enjoyed a little less as I’ve never been quite able to connect with his more bleak takes on relationships.

Akira. First time watching it. Only had dub available. It was not what i expected, but it was fine.

1. Monday: The Thomas Crown Affair (1999) rewatch
2. Tuesday: Le Comte de Monte-Cristo (2024)
3. Wednesday: Davos 1917 (2023) miniseries

Bladerunner. I was very underwhelmed, especially with all the hype surrounding the movie.

• Red
• Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets

Movies I’ve watched this week:

• Cry Danger (1951)
• MADs
• Woman of the Hour
• Outland

I enjoyed Cry Danger the most.

So far this week I watched The Bikeriders and Nickel Boys. Both amazing movies.

I watched the Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, which was wonderful, but could have been wonderfuller.

Fight or Flight

I have watched some this week but they were so meh I can’t even remember the titles.
