A ★★★½ review of 28 Years Later (2025)

Carlo 🇵🇷 • The Movie Loot @thiefcgt.bsky.social · 20h

28 Years Later (2025) provides a more meditative & somber approach to the #zombie apocalypse. Sure, it is dragged down a bit by some odd directorial choices, but it's still a pretty solid entry in the franchise. #FilmSky

Cape Fear (1962) was a surprisingly dark and bleak thriller, anchored on two strong performances from Gregory Peck and Robert Mitchum. Chilling! #FilmSky

A ★★★½ review of The Mistletoe Bough (1904)

Carlo 🇵🇷 • The Movie Loot @thiefcgt.bsky.social · 20h

The Mistletoe Bough (1904) on the other hand, offers a way stronger narrative in a shorter time with a tinge of eeriness and bleakness to it. #FilmSky #silentfilm

My ★★★½ review of The Mistletoe Bough (1904) on @letterboxd.social : boxd.it/beQlm1

Watched as part of my October 2025 Challenge. Freebie "They sought her that night, they sought her next day, They sought her in vain when a week passed away." The Mistletoe Bough follows a young coupl...

A ★★ review of Legend of a Ghost (1908)

Carlo 🇵🇷 • The Movie Loot @thiefcgt.bsky.social · 20h

Legend of a Ghost (1908) is probably the weakest outing I've seen from the usually dependable Segundo de Chomón. Some impressive production values here and there are hampered by a choppy story. #FilmSky #silentfilm

COLLINS: Pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell -- is that something you're open to doing?

TRUMP: Who are we talking about?

C: Ghislaine Maxwell

T: I haven't heard the name is so long. I can say this -- I'd have to take a look at it ... I will speak to the DOJ

A ★★★ review of Lockout (2012)

Carlo 🇵🇷 • The Movie Loot @thiefcgt.bsky.social · 6d

#Lockout (2012) still packs some energy despite a derivative story. This is mostly thanks to a kick-ass performance from Guy Pearce and an overall fun vibe. #FilmSky

More Porkchop (2013) is a hilarious short film about musicians and the Russian underworld. Loved it! #FilmSky

A ★★★ review of Gabby's Dollhouse: The Movie (2025)

Carlo 🇵🇷 • The Movie Loot @thiefcgt.bsky.social · 6d

Gabby's Dollhouse: The Movie (2025) retains the charm of the TV show despite an overstretched story. Kristen Wiig is also a winning addition. My kid enjoyed it! #FilmSky
