The Believer
★★★½ Watched

Don’t tell me you’re a real Gosling Head till you’ve watched him play both Isaac and Ishmael. A bit incoherent and unrestrained at times, but genuinely interesting and pretty unique.

"You don't have to worry, Kid. I ain't gonna kill you. You're the only friend I got."

Eastwood’s masterpiece delivers precise, suave deconstruction of his career and the Western genre. The dialogue is punchy and classic, the shots are packed with symbolism, and the acting is top notch. It’s simply Eastwood personified, and the best western that doesn’t feature John Wayne.

Frankenstein
★★½ Watched

Del Toro’s Frankenstein succeeds as a stand-alone movie but falters as an adaptation. The lighting, colors, and composition all stun and the plot works as a lavish 19th century take on parental failure. Still, I really miss the subtlety of Shelley’s book and its thoughtful societal questions, many of which are still relevant. 

In the book, Victor and his creation share responsibility for his actions, but the movie rips this away from the creature to assign the blame much more…
