The influence of Buster Keaton's most famous stunt

Nosferatu is startling in its cinematography and its content. A remake of F.W Murnau’s 1922 film, it leans away from the expressionism the original has, but it’s beautifully directed and great performances all around. I dislike the inclusion of jump scares, however.

It’s not been a great year for film. I think that goes without saying. Madame Web is an example of throwing literally anything at the wall and hoping it sticks. Shot miserably, edited through a wood chipper, and worse dubbing than a Franco Nero western, rarely have I seen a film this poor

Talking Heads asks two questions: who are you and what do you want in life? Makes you think deeply about what you really want in life and how priorities change with age.

What can be said about True Romance that hasn’t been said? Tarantino and Avary’s script covers itself in a beautiful sense of style while Tony Scott’s direction perfectly puts the words into scene. It makes me wonder if Tarantino wrote more for Tony Scott.

Christmas watches aren’t too Christmasy

The Boxer delivers quick hits of action and simmering drama while being extremely well edited and shot. Rocky is the obvious comparison, but the anime Ashita no Joe is a better example. Easily digestible, but enough flavor to make it enjoyable

Rodeo is a short film by Carroll Ballard, who would direct The Black Stallion 10 years later. Short, stressful, and wonderfully energetic.

The Sea Wolf, based on the Jack London novel, doesn’t follow the story perfectly, but bolstered by Edward G Robinson’s outstanding performance, it serves as an exceptional character drama.

The Thirsty Dead is a terrible, boring, disinteresting movie whose B movie charm wears off quickly once you realize the plot goes nowhere.

A wide array of very different movies

A really odd couple days but some really great stuff in there

Fritz Lang was born 134 years ago today, on December 5, 1890

Lost John Ford film found in Chile after 100 years | The National The Scarlet Drop, a western starring actor Harry Carey, was found in a Santiago warehouse a day before it was set to be demolished

Huge news for film historians! Unfortunately not the supposedly lost D-Day footage, but still incredible! #filmsky

What an unbelievable group of people to be working on a superhero project

It has been 24 years since the first Gladiator film and in all that time, I see that Ridley Scott has still not learned how Roman names work.

why do we need to remake every animated movie in live action/CG

Oh man! I totally forgot about Look Back! A fantastic (and short) little anime film that’s absolutely worth everyone’s time. It’s one of the best anime films, outside of Miyazaki’s films, in years. Currently streaming on Amazon Prime.

Current top 12 of 2024 so far. It’s been a pretty meh year for film so far, but always subject to change. #filmsky #letterboxd
