"100 Nights of Hero" has a massive change in tone throughout but I enjoyed it.
It starts as a farce of the upper class that's like a mix of Monty Python and Wes Anderson. By the end, it becomes a somber story of a misogynistic society that's as chilling as anything in "The Handmaid's Tale".

I've rarely seen a protagonist like the main character of 1981's "Coup De Torchon".
Police Chief Lucien Cordier is simultaneously a sympathetic and repulsive man, a guy who's always bullied but finds revenge in the most cowardly ways.
Isabelle Huppert, as always, is spectacular in it.

The two theaters close to me are showing the 4 hour+ version of "Kill Bill" this weekend but they're not showing "Hamnet". What the hell????
I'm going to have to drive to a theater 60 miles away to see "Hamnet". That's crazy. I thought the film was getting a huge release nationwide?

The Criterion Channel’s showing Dorothy Arzner’s 1940 film “Dance, Girl, Dance” (with Lucille Ball and Maureen O’Hara) and it’s wonderful.
Lucy’s b*tchy character is a perfect counterpoint to Maureen O’Hara’s sweet ingenue.
Lucy really could do anything, couldn’t she? ❤️

Jean Rollin's "The Living Dead Girl" (currently showing on the Criterion Channel) isn't my favorite film of his (that would be "The Shiver of the Vampires").
It's a touching story of an undead girl who wants to be dead again. Unfortunately, her close friend won't let her go.

"They Call Her Death" (currently showing on AMC+ and Shudder) was made in 2024 but looks like it was made in the 70's.
Shot in 16mm, with gore that would make Lucio Fulci proud, it's a grindhouse combination of Spaghetti Westerns, supernatural horror and "Death Wish"-style revenge thriller.

The new film “Rental Family” delivers the same awe and wonder for Japan and its culture as “Lost in Translation”.
It’s a heart-warming film with a unique concept that’s taken in some very lovely directions.

Hannah and Her Sisters
Casualties of War

I watched Ken Russell's film "Altered States" last night (the Criterion 4K UHD is gorgeous!) and I swear some scenes in the film are similar to the metaphysical scenes in the insane last few minutes of Disney's "The Black Hole" film (which came out a year earlier).

I went into "Trifole" (which opened nationwide this weekend) thinking it was going to be an uplifting story of a woman discovering herself in the Italian countryside.
Well, it got much darker than that, but I still liked it despite the whiplash-inducing turn the film took in the second half.

As much as I loved the needle drop of Tom Petty's song "American Girl" in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High", I loved the placement of it even more in "One Battle After Another".
In "Fast Times", it symbolized the end of innocence. In "One Battle", it's a call to arms against fascism.

Never in my life have I see such desperation to pin something, anything at all on a candidate like the establishment press is desperate to do with Mamdani. He calls his cousin aunt, he eats with his hands, my right-wing friends never heard of his mom — my god, people, you're embarrassing.

“The Mastermind”, director Kelly Reichardt’s new film, continues her exploration of drifters forced to live life on the road.
I enjoyed the film, especially main character James, who is reminiscent of Jerry Lundegaard from “Fargo”, another man who gets in over his head when dabbling in crime.

I really disliked "Shelby Oaks". As Roger Ebert would say, it was an insult to my eyes.
It rehashes ideas from "The Blair Witch Project" and "Hereditary" but doesn't do them anywhere near as well, and a few jump scares peppered randomly throughout the run time doesn't make a good horror film.
