I’m Thinking of Ending Things (2020): The Human Condition in Three Acts

The new Charlie Kaufman film, I’m Thinking of Ending Things, has been met with a varying degree of opinions. Some really enjoyed the film while others, not so much. Personally, I liked the film, but that’s only after thinking about it overnight to really make sense of what I watched.  Charlie Kaufman is a director and screenwriter that I love, so I partly knew to expect … Continue reading I’m Thinking of Ending Things (2020): The Human Condition in Three Acts

A Recasting of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920)

Recently, I showed my boyfriend the film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, a film often considered one of the first horror films from the 1920s. It’s filled with loads of German Expressionism and your girl loves German Expressionism. He really enjoyed the film (thank goodness), and we got to talking about remakes. We started discussing who we would cast in a remake of this film. … Continue reading A Recasting of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920)

A Journey Through My Netflix Queue: Velvet Buzzsaw (2019)

I have just finished the film and I can’t quite determine how I feel. I didn’t hate it. That much I know. As far as a satire of the art world, it’s good. It ultimately reveals that nobody … Continue reading A Journey Through My Netflix Queue: Velvet Buzzsaw (2019)

Slow Burning Horror: Hereditary (2018)

If I had to describe the film Hereditary in two words it would be slow burning. This film was a lot to take in. It was heartbreaking and absolutely disturbing. It was scary but not in the traditional jump scare way. It’s scary in that it’s one that you think about long after it’s over, and the more you think about it, the scarier and … Continue reading Slow Burning Horror: Hereditary (2018)

89. The Sixth Sense (1999)

“A boy who communicates with spirits that don’t know they’re dead seeks the help of a disheartened child psychologist.” First, let me say that I tried really hard to not let my dislike for M. Night Shyamalan to get in my way of watching this film and giving it a proper grade. Second, let me say that I have watched this film before and I … Continue reading 89. The Sixth Sense (1999)
