We All Loved Each Other So Much (1974)
i don't think i've mentioned it anywhere on the site, so i'll use this review to come out as italian (no vabbè!!). i've actually watched an embarrassing small amount of italian movies and i'm trying to fix that. C'eravamo tanto amati is a perfect movie i think. bittersweet and funny and ironic. sooo italian but also universal. i watched it while waiting for a very delayed train after a storm, which only added to the neorealistic experience i have to say.
signs (2002)
there is something so intimate about loving a genre that you were terrified of as a child. aliens were my biggest fear for years, a strong emotion that morphed into deep fondness over time. this movie feels like it was made for me, to completely freak out child-me with the alien home invasion and to amuse present-me with its quirks and its sincerity. can't believe it took me so long to watch it!
also, everyone who hates this movie needs to calm down and eat some fruit or something !!
riddle of fire (2023)
three mischievous children embark on a woodland odyssey when their mother sends them on an errand.
best movie if you need a pick-me-up from the horrors. gorgeous colors… magical realism!! the children are so sweet and the soundtrack is perfect wowow instant favorite!
daredevil: born again (2025-)
matthew michael murdock on my screen in the year of our lord 2025......... we've never been so back!! if only i could send this to myself in 2018 when they cancelled the show (on my birthday no less!!), i would've been so happy and then i would've immediately fucking cried because they straight up kill foggy twelve minutes in the first episode dhsfgsd. first appearance after seven years and matt has already suffered more than jesus, oh how i've missed this...
episode 1
a strong first episode, the tone is slightly different but it doesn't feel sanitized or less dark than the original show, and i don't really mind some levity in matt's character (and more music yippe!). also looove kirsten mcduffie!! can't wait to see more of her!
episode 2
uhm! the ending! ok!
episode 3
«Is there a Division of Hypocrisy at Murdock and Associates?» i- yeah fair
loved the court drama, brutal ending yet again!
episode 4
can't wait for matt to explode from the extreme repression he's got going on
episode 5
this might be controversial but i love love filler episodes *especially* bank-hostage-situation ones so this was a treat for me actually
episode 6
i feel like when heather inevitably finds out about daredevil she will be like "of course we're breaking up but first can i blease study you like a bug"
also the moral implications of matt "letting" people die because he wants to respect foggy's memory but like… that little freak managed to kill 60 people in the meantime?? no wonder he is going insane
episode 7
not my favorite ep, as many pointed out the muse storyline felt very rushed, but some messiness was inevitable with how production went and it could've been so much worse i suppose.
matt saying that everything feels fake however? that was a great choice.
episode 8
oh we are SO back!! the dex interrogation scene… matt crashing out… can't wait for the finale!
mickey 17 (2025)
loved this!! capitalism-bashing, freaky and hopeful sci-fi fun + robert pattinson's silly haircut
it's been a few days and i'm still thinking about mickey and nasha's relationship, they are each other's constant!! nasha loves every version of mickey and each version of mickey is in love with her... this one was truly for the real yearners
here's a lovely conversation between robert pattinson & bong joon ho
