  • Hit the Road

    Hit the Road 2021

    ★★★½ Watched by fran hoepfner 17 May 2022

    took me a long time to settle in with the cadence of this: hard to tell if its second half is stronger than its first or if I was just really in it by then. a nice movie to see with my dad — a rare film about parents who are good for once.

  • Eastern Promises

    ★★★★½ Watched by fran hoepfner 13 May 2022 2

    “for poetic reasons, I suggest you take his blood” 🖋 fairy tale alert!!! 🪄

  • Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe

    Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe 1980

    ★★★★ Watched by fran hoepfner 13 May 2022

    Herzog is so handsome in this, wearing this really lovely collared pullover. maybe nothing more attractive than earnestly following through on a terrible bit with humility. he did this on my birthday! many years before my birth, fyi, because I am young :)

  • Il buco

    Il buco 2021

    ★★★★★ Rewatched by fran hoepfner 03 May 2022

    my rave review for the wrap. see this flick!

  • Hellboy

    Hellboy 2004

    ★★★ Watched by fran hoepfner 08 May 2022 1

    appreciate its yuck factor and Doug Jones - duh, DUH - in tandem with David Hyde Pierce's vocal performance really make Abe feel so special and sweet. overlong, sadly, like everything, with its ending nearly an hour long, and not really sure why we have an everyman character other than to eat up time. Hellboy is basically a regular guy - that's his whole deal!

    less birds than you’d think…

  • The Long Day Closes

    The Long Day Closes 1992

    ★★★★½ Watched by fran hoepfner 29 Apr 2022

    pretty special stuff! I have often felt at arms' length from Davies work though it is completely "my type of thing," but this – despite feeling more opaque and mysterious than some of his other films – is so warm and beckoning. someone program this with The Souvenir Part II asap!

  • The Northman

    The Northman 2022

    ★★★★ Watched by fran hoepfner 27 Apr 2022 1

    I enjoyed this more than "it works," but still, hard not to feel some begrudging admiration for a movie about the first person to have a bad time in vacation in Iceland. less wry and suspenseful than both The VVitch and The Lighthouse, though still laughably grim at times (and its dramatic irony funnier to me than, say, The Green Knight's stabs at humor). listen, since 2017, there have been dozens – DOZENS!! – of us rooting for the career…

  • Dirty Dancing

    Dirty Dancing 1987

    ★★★½ Watched by fran hoepfner 25 Apr 2022

    it’s time to return the catskills to the culturally jewish leisure class. frances canon, duh—what else do you expect me to say?
