Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (1984)

Japanese animated post-apocalyptic fantasy film. It's about a pacifist teenage princess desperately struggling to prevent two warring nations from destroying themselves and their dying planet. While this is not my favourite Hayao Miyazaki movie (Studio Ghibli was founded a year later so it's not a Ghibli movie but you could maybe call it proto-Ghibli), I like the environmental message of this movie a lot, so I can definitely recommend it.

Mothers' Instinct

This could have been so many things. Instead it's really just a mess of tropes and clichés and a waste of two great actresses.

The Man on the Eiffel Tower (1949)

American mystery thriller film. It's about a police inspector investigating the murder of a rich widow. Very good cast (Charles Laughton, Franchot Tone, Burgess Meredith, Robert Hutton and more) in a decent movie, but it's definitely not something I'd ever feel the need to rewatch. Can kinda recommend.

Freud's Last Session (2023)

American-British drama film. It's about Sigmund Freud who, towards the end of his life, invites C.S. Lewis to debate the existence of God. Very good cast (Anthony Hopkins as Freud, Matthew Goode as C.S. Lewis, and more). The movie's also set at the very beginning of World War II, so there's another layer to the whole thing. Overall it's not quite as good as it could've been (I would've preferred if this was just a single location movie about that debate, but other people might prefer it like it is, with more of a story around it). But I can still recommend it.

Erik the Viking (1989)

British comedy-fantasy film. It's about some Vikings travelling across the sea to find Valhalla to ask the gods to end the Age of Ragnarok. Very good cast (Tim Robbins, Terry Jones (who also wrote and directed this), John Cleese, Mickey Rooney, Eartha Kitt and more) in this funny comedy. I'd maybe call it Monty Python-lite, because of Jones' and Cleese's involvement but also because it feels like something Monty Python would have done (and better at that). This was still good, but again, it could've been better. In an alternate universe they probably got this as a Python film. Well, overall I can still recommend it.

IF 2024
VERY well done movie in the lines of Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends.
A fun romp through your childhood.

8/10

One for the Road (2023)

German comedy-drama film. It's about a guy who lost his drivers license because he was driving drunk so he has to take a course to get ready for a medical-psychological assessment, but temptations lurk everywhere. This movie isn't bad, but not very good either. Overall I can't recommend it.

The Day Mars Invaded Earth (1963)

American science fiction film. It's about martian energy beings duplicating a scientist and his family as a first step toward their invasion of Earth to stop humanity's space programs. This is a very low budget sci-fi flick from the early 60s, of course it's not gonna be a masterpiece. But I still think it's worth the watch, despite not being all that good. So I can still recommend it.

Everything Must Go (2010)

American comedy-drama film. It's about an alcoholic who relapses, causing him to lose his wife and his job, so he holds a yard sale on his front lawn in an attempt to start over. It's definitely more on the drama side, but I actually liked it more like that. Very good performances by a very good cast (Will Ferrell, Rebecca Hall, Laura Dern, Michael Peña, Stephen Root and more). Overall this is a real hidden gem, I can highly recommend this.

just watched all the jeepers creeper movies :D

Bruce Campbell evil dead saga. the Evil dead (1983) evil dead II (1987) Army of Darkness (1992) Ash VS evil dead (2015-2018)

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024)

Australian-American post-apocalyptic action adventure film. Rewatched this at the cinema yesterday. Of course, Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) is a masterpiece and nothing's gonna touch that. But this prequel is still a great movie. I said it last week and I'm saying it again: Watch this on the biggest screen you can find. Highly recommended!

The Order (2003)

German-American mystery thriller film. It's about the investigation of the suspicious death of an excommunicated priest and the discovery of a Sin Eater headquartered in Rome. Very good cast (Heath Ledger, Shannyn Sossamon, Mark Addy, Benno Fürmann, Peter Weller and more). This isn't a great movie by any means but I did like the story so I can recommend it.

Dog Apartment (2022)

Estonian surrealist animated short film. It's about a drunk ballet dancer who lives in a barking apartment. The stop motion animation is great. Overall I think this short is good but it's definitely not for you if you need more story. But if you're in for 15 minutes of very well done surrealism I can recommend this.
