Bluebeard's Eighth Wife 1938

★★★★ Watched 20 Jan 2023

first half absolutely bangs. second half strains, the meanness outweighing the charm a bit-- but we do get Claudette Colbert stuffing her mouth with scallions, which is fucking *hilarious.* overall still better than most comedies would dream of being.
Midnight 1939

★★★★½ Watched 20 Jan 2023

great cast, plenty of laughs. there's a good 20-30 minute stretch in the middle of this once Ameche shows up at the Chateau that's about as funny as any stretch of screwball I've seen. and the last line/"The End" reveal is killer.

Sucker Punch 2011

½ Rewatched 24 Aug 2013 3

In case you were wondering, this is still one the ugliest, most brainless, most unpleasant, and most fucking terrible movies made in your lifetime.
Passengers 2016

In this theater, no one could hear me scream.
