- My Best Fiend (1999)January 6, 2025
This is a documentary directed by Werner Herzog about his friend and actor Klaus Kinski. If you want to learn more about Klaus Kinski, this is the right movie for you. I would definitely recommend watching at least a few Klaus Kinski movies before diving into this documentary. Some of my favorite anecdotes were:
- During the last days of filming Aguirre, the Wrath of God, Kinski became so angry that he threatened to leave the set. He had already packed all his belongings. Upon hearing this, Herzog told him that he was free to leave, but warned that before he rounded the next corner, he would have eight bullets in his head from Herzog’s rifle. Hearing this, Kinski became remarkably disciplined for the remainder of the shoot.
- Another story Herzog shared involved his plan to raid Kinski’s house and set it on fire. However, the plan was foiled because Kinski’s shepherd dog was awake and alerted him.
Definitely a 6.5/10.

- Abnormal Family (1984)January 5, 2025
Half of the film consists of sex scenes, while the other half features cinematic shots of Japanese cityscapes, all accompanied by wacky music that sounds like it came straight out of a generic Japanese visual novel. The only thing more absurd is the Fantozzi soundtrack. Impressively, the movie masters the art of including explicit sex scenes without ever showing any genitals. I enjoyed the performances, particularly the father and his synergy with his younger son. If you’re looking for a compelling story, you should probably look elsewhere. However, the movie has surprisingly cute atmosphere. 6.5/10.
- Female Leopard (1985)January 4, 2025
A japanese erotica film that delivers exactly what you’d expect. The only noteworthy aspect is that the main actress maintains the same facial expression throughout the entire movie. 6/10.
- Deadpool vs Wolverine (2024)January 2, 2025
Don’t expect much from the story, plot, or character arcs—they’re all just a vehicle to deliver the funnsies and slaughter, though the comedy sometimes degenerates into cringe, I especially loved when Deadpool said, “I am Marvel Jesus,” and then proceeded to Deadpool all over the place. 7/10.
