Ainda estou aqui or “im still here” as it is known in english. It is out in cinemas now. It is based on a true story and a stark reminder of why we should not forget history. It was really well done and I recommend it to everyone. The whole cinema was silent watching it.

Last night I watched Red Room (2023) which was excellent, one of the scariest movies I’ve seen in ages, and not a moment of gore.

Couple days ago I watched Todd Haynes’ Far From Home (2003) without knowing ahead of time that it was a remix of Douglas Sirk’s 50s melodramas, but it was a really pleasant surprise. It inspired me to watch Fassbinder’s Ali: Fear Eats The Soul which I unsurprisingly enjoyed a little less as I’ve never been quite able to connect with his more bleak takes on relationships.

Movies I’ve watched this week:

• Cry Danger (1951)
• MADs
• Woman of the Hour
• Outland

I enjoyed Cry Danger the most.

Knives out. Great movie never expected that performance. Knives out 2, glass onion. Starting to get convoluted but still a nice movie. Bullet train. Just a fun rump.

Bladerunner. I was very underwhelmed, especially with all the hype surrounding the movie.

Akira. First time watching it. Only had dub available. It was not what i expected, but it was fine.

So far this week I watched The Bikeriders and Nickel Boys. Both amazing movies.

• Red
• Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets

1. Monday: The Thomas Crown Affair (1999) rewatch
2. Tuesday: Le Comte de Monte-Cristo (2024)
3. Wednesday: Davos 1917 (2023) miniseries

I watched the Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, which was wonderful, but could have been wonderfuller.

Fight or Flight

I have watched some this week but they were so meh I can’t even remember the titles.
