Caught Bram Stoker's Dracula on tv today. First time I had seen it since I watched it in the mid 90s when I went through my horror movie phase as a ten year old.
Keanu Reeves is awful. Winona Ryder is bad but not as bas as Keanue. Besides that, very good movie. It's a shame that those two bring it down a notch because they're surrounded by fantastic actors giving great performances.
Elia Kazan’s favourite of his own movies. Never seen it before. Very interesting first half an hour so far, about rough times for Greek and Armenians in Anatolia. The main character is dreaming of going to America.
I watched Moonstruck yesterday. The 1980s romantic comedy starring Cher and Nicholas Cage. I really liked it. It was so over the top but they leaned into that unapologetically. Some hilarious scenes, and the pacing was excellent.
i saw it for the first time this year and had the very same thoughts. so damn good.

Watched two on the plane last week, both of which I’d seen several times before:
Risky Business: outside of one specific story beat, I think this is a perfect movie. But you take the Tangerine Dream soundtrack away, and the whole vibe probably changes quite a bit.
The Departed: over the years, the Wahlberg character has gone from my least favorite to my most favorite part of this movie.

what didn't you like about wahlberg's performance?
my favorite thing about the departed is all of the compensation at play in scenes with both damon's character and alec baldwin's. happened to watch half of it yesterday. lots of great comedy. shares some comic moves with sopranos.

Yeah I think originally, I used to feel like he was in an entirely different movie, like his Boston accent was too legit compared to everyone else’s bad ones, and his comedy was way too big. But now I think he steals every scene he’s in, and his narrative arc and final scene is my favorite aspect
