#NowWatching THE UNBEARABLE LIGHTNESS OF BEING (1988). Director: Philip Kaufman. Daniel Day-Lewis, Juliette Binoche. DDL is a womanizer in a romantic triangle with Binoche & Lena Olin. Tough, huh? Well, the Soviet invasion of Prague doesn't help! Rewatch. #filmsky 📽 Criterion Collection 55

My ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 review of MY BEAUTIFUL LAUNDRETTE boxd.it/fFe30P Not without charm & humor, but relatively slight take on complex issues of immigrants, prejudice, homosexuality in hellhole of 80's economy. Central relationship never feels real; too obvious, too cozy. #filmsky 📽 Criterion Collection 767

A ★★★½ review of My Beautiful Laundrette (1985)

Growing up gay, I was fascinated with bleach-blonde Daniel Day-Lewis as a street thug who liked men in MY BEAUTIFUL LAUNDRETTE. Day-Lewis is not the central character, however, in this dramedy about i...

#NowWatching MY BEAUTIFUL LAUNDRETTE (1985). Director: Stephen Frears. Saeed Jaffrey, Daniel Day-Lewis. Day-Lewis as bleach blonde gay street thug in an interracial relationship in Thatcher's London. This had a mysterious power over me as a youth! 🤣 #filmsky 📽 Criterion Collection 767

It seems inconceivable... IT'S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA premiered 21 years ago, OTD 8/4/2005. More unbelievable... Still ballsiest, bravest, most irreverent show on TV. Holds a mirror up to society & doesn't care who it offends. Best comedic cast on TV. Upcoming season 18 on 8/17 🔥. #tvsky 📺

My ⭐️⭐️⭐️ review of HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON boxd.it/fBojsf Although this live action remake is entirely unnecessary, it is more effective than many. With "cartoony" dragon effects, though, what is the point? Luckily, likable Mason Thames delivers heart & humor to familiar proceedings. #filmsky 📽

My ★★★★★ review of The Lion in Winter boxd.it/8asDaT Katherine Hepburn & Peter O'Toole lead dazzling ensemble in torturous night of psychological warfare. My choice: one of filmdom's sharpest, funniest, most brutal & literate screenplays. Hepburn gives all-time favorite performance. #filmsky 🎥📽🎬

My ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 review of IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT boxd.it/bM2eFr While central mystery is fine, social drama endures. Still relevant in 2025...both huge compliment & total bummer. Poitier & Steiger give sharp & multilayered performances in begrudging partnership. #filmsky 📽 Criterion Collection 959

My ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review of THE ARTIST boxd.it/fAYCUv Lovingly crafted, but relatively lightweight, homage to Hollywood yesteryear. If you enjoy silent era of film, much to recommend. Truthfully, Dujardin was more jerky than I remembered, but Bejo positively shines & Uggie steals every scene. #filmsky 📽

#NowWatching THE ARTIST (2011). Director: Michel Hazanavicius. Jean Dujardin, Berenice Bejo. While I found this silent film homage charming upon first watch, I was a bit mystified when it won 5 Oscars (including Picture, Director, & Actor). Reevaluating to see what I think now. #filmsky 📽

My ⭐️⭐️⭐️ review of ONCE BITTEN boxd.it/fB1SGb Appropriately silly 80s fluff, but lacks real comedic bite. Inspired dance-off sequence proves irresistible, but made me wish the rest of film were as funny. Carrey is appealing, but Hutton & her gay minion (Cleavon Little) steal the show. #filmsky 📽

A ★★★ review of Once Bitten (1985)

Quintessential 80s silliness, it's hard to be too demanding of ONCE BITTEN. The sporadically amusing screenplay melds the classic teen sex romp with a tale of vampiric lore. For the most part, it succ...
