A mysterious, tall, blonde woman wearing sunglasses murders one of a psychiatrist's patients, and now she's after the prostitute who witnessed it.
For De Palma the director, this is probably a 4 or 5 star film. The visuals are superb and the performances are spot on. Very New York, too.
For De Palma the writer, this is some sleazy, voyeuristic, exploitation shit, that I find very weird.
★★★½

This is my jam 🤘
A mystical, ancient dagger causes a notorious serial killer to magically switch bodies with a 17-year-old girl.
Based strictly on how much I went “ewww” and laughed out loud, this must be one of the best horror comedies I have seen.
★★★
A U.S. Army Captain uses her years of tactical training to save humanity from sixteen nuclear missiles launched at the U.S. as a violent attack threatens her remote missile interceptor station.
A three star film with a two star budget; everything wrong with this, from the skeleton rig crew to the supporting cast, could be fixed with more money.
Elsa is ace. I wish I had guns like that 💪
★★★
Harry, Ron and Hermione continue their quest to vanquish the evil Voldemort once and for all. Just as things begin to look hopeless for the young wizards, Harry discovers a trio of magical objects that endow him with powers to rival Voldemort's formidable skills.
Apart from the toe-curlingly twee finale, this is, appropriately, relentlessly bleak and brutal.
Watching the latter films has been tough on my 8-y/o, she’s still firmly in the “chocolate frogs” demographic.
Still, for an 8 film series, it finishes pretty strongly.
★★★★
The story of the conception of a new British weapon for smashing the German dams in the Ruhr industrial complex and the execution of the raid by 617 Squadron 'The Dam Busters'.
The true story of Joe Simpson and Simon Yates' disastrous and nearly-fatal mountain climb of 6,344m Siula Grande in the Cordillera Huayhuash in the Peruvian Andes in 1985.
