  The Last Picture Show 1971

  ★★★★½ Watched 06 Dec 2023

  Absolutely superb film. Watched the 4K Criterion disc and it's a fantastic experience. Bogdanovich captures that loneliness and naivety of a dwindling small town America so well.

  8.6/10

  Very good performances.
  Possibly a little lengthy.
  Not top tier Scorsese but still good.
  Massive death toll.
  Emotional ending.

  7.7/10

  The Banshees of Inisherin 2022

  ★★★½ Watched 14 Dec 2022 1

  Yes, it's good. Perhaps even very good. The dialogue is great - jet black comedy piercing through the beautiful rugged coastline of Ireland. The acting is on point. There is alot going on in this film. So many themes like male pride, loneliness, grief, the backdrop of war, relationships, letting go of friends, and even a hint towards current social landscapes.

  But to be honest, it didn't quite elevate to the film I expected it to be, given all the hype around it. It's a solid 7.5/10 film. I just thought it faded away a tiny bit towards the end. Great writing though.

  Barbarian 2022

  ★★★½ Watched 02 Nov 2022 3

  Decent as creepy horror films go. The director sets the tone and atmosphere very well. Performances are fine. Difficult to write about with no spoilers. Some twists and turns, a few lazy tropes and jump scares but overall it's worth watching.
