film
Frankenstein was actually really good. I watched it in two parts, first Victor’s story then The Monsters and I liked that because the movie is so long there’s no way I could’ve watched it in one part and I didn’t have to because it was on Netflix. Speaking of Netflix, I could definitely tell it was a Netflix production. It just had that streaming vibe to it, that vibe that it was meant to be watched on your tv screen on the couch. It’s that same vibe that ABC movies had back in the day, but it’s just a little bit more cinematic now. There were definitely moments where I was like oh I’m supposed to be on my phone right now, but other than that it was solid. I loved the fantastical look of it. I thought The Monster’s design was really equisite. Loved Mia Goth as always.

¡Obrigado to Vitorio for recommending this movie to me! Go check out their website here: https://vitorio.neocities.org/. Trainspotting was really good, I'd watched the movie a few years back but the recommendation inspired me to rewatch it. It's so incredible seeing a film not be afraid to look downright disgusting on camera. I feel like nowadays movies are afraid to show gross stuff. The story is tragic, but Boyle's whimiscal way of getting the characters through it is so charming and helps the movie not feel too bleak. The leading cast is of course amazing, Ewan McGregor is great. His Scottish rant is my favorite part of the movie it just sells him completely as this laddish dirtbag. It's a hard watch but a very fun one.

Just finished watching Oh, Hi! It was was good. Weird and funny enough to be enjoyable, but nothing too groundbreaking. It kind of starts spinning its wheels a little bit in the second half, but it still manages to get several one liners in there. Logan Lerman plays his character so well his eyes just give off male manipulator so well he was made for this role. Molly Gordon is great too, she's really funny. The movie really pulls you in at the beginning but I think it needed to go a bit further. It could've been Shiva Baby levels of anxiety inducing, but it doesn't quite hit that mark.
