Greetings and salutations my fellow Letterboxd friends!

I'd like to use this platform to do a little self-promoting, or to be precise, to put a spotlight on a short film I made a few years ago with a dear friend of mine as producer. Why now, you ask? For two reasons: First, the film is finally finished. Post-production took forever. And second, we've been accepted to our first film festival: the “Golden Harvest Film Festival”, which will screen the film…

I have been in love with Streets of Fire since I first rented the VHS when I was about 10. I have seen the movie many, many times of the years. I have owned the VHS, the DVD, Blu-ray and now the 4K Disc from Shout Factory. With each viewing I loved the…

This is actually very interesting. I never liked David Lynch’s Dune. Mostly because it felt so incoherent and I never got a grasp of the story. But ever since watching and really liking Denis Villeneuve two-part adaptation I felt the strange urge to return to this movie. And now that I finally did, I feel a newfound appreciation for it.

It didn’t impress me quite as much as it did him but I think it is a quality low-budget Horror movie with some pretty impressive performances and a nice creepy atmosphere. I could have done with a few less hysterics but I guess that comes with the material. The kid also started to annoy me a…

I won’t lie, I expected great things from Alien: Romulus. The trailer looked bad-ass and after revisiting the franchise again these last couple of days I was more than ready for this new entry. Now, did the movie fulfill my expectations and is it perhaps the greatest Alien movie since Aliens in 1986? The one word answer is: No. This movie, for me at least, fell short of topping even some of the later entries. Therefore, I can’t help but…

I find it very hard to rate and write about the new Nosferatu movie. It was one of my most anticipated movies of 2024 but after watching it I’m not 100% sure what to make of it. I’ll start with mentioning that my cinema-experience last night was far from ideal. A group of noisy youngsters behind me. A woman with an aggressive perfume in front of me. A guy who constantly turned on the light of his cellphone to the…
