I watched it yesterday ... really good, as expected!


Definitely a star-making performance for Madison. I thought the actor who played "Toros" did a great job as well. I could see him landing some supporting actor nominations for his work amongst next year's award circuit.

My favorite stretch of the movie was from approx' the 45 minute - 1 hr, 15 min mark. The intensity that was maintained over a handful of scenes at the house was impressive. I was sitting back just appreciating the acting / chaos.

Nosferatu




PRAISE: With Nosferatu Director and writer Eggers solidifies himself as another effective talent that can take an over one hundred year genre and breathe new life into it. In this story an already haunted and off balance Ellen (Lily-Rose Depp) has a strong connection to the mysterious Count Orlock (Bill Skarsgard) that will lead to all types of bloody madness. The cast including Nicholas Hoult Aaron Taylor-Johnson,Emma Corin, Ralph Ineson, and Willem Dafoe turn in great performances. They are called upon to not only have dramatic performances but also physical ones that are mesmerizing. From body movements to facial expressions of outright fear. Skarsgard along with the Direction of Eggers makes Nosferatu scary and then some. From the hissing and wheezing,his hands and voice and finally his physical form. Eggers wants to wrap the viewer into what's happening in a scene and over and over again he succeeds. Whether it's a scene of outright madness,a bloody kill,or a scene filled with shadows and darkness that he adds a quick flash of lightning to he really pulled me in. There are tons of disturbing images right to the end that some may find off putting ,especially those that are faint of heart. The film even got some nervous laughs out of me. The film brought back great memories of stories of vampires and Dracula i read as a teen. I think that helped me and likely others enjoy the film even more as the legend of vampires are brought out in the film in certain sinister situations and story paths. The music by Robin Carolan is also effective especially those final musical notes as the film closes.


PROBLEMS: Some moments felt a bit overdone.

Nosferatu joins my list of one of the best of 2024

Scale of 1 to 10 a 10+

You can bet she went through a whole lot of sexual harassment with Weinstein and Tarentino back in the day. Glad she never went victim mode, you got pay the cost to be the boss.

Nardwar has been around for a long time, I was always surprised how such a small youtuber would get so many high profile interviews but he seems to be getting a lot of attention lately.

Agreed. It's great to see his career longevity stretch for several decades. I always like seeing the reactions he gets out of people with assorted facts and knowledge.

* Side note - I noticed at the 01:26 mark the CITR 101.9 FM listed on the microphone. That takes me back to the 90s and early-00s.

I used to listen to alot of the co-op hiphop radio shows on 101.9 and 102.7 in the city. Some from downtown, and some from one of the university campuses. I'd leave the cassette tape in the living room stereo to record certain shows, and/or when they'd have song or mix exclusives.
