A Shockingly Relevant Film From 1957. Top Story - January 2025.
My husband and I have a subscription to the Criterion Channel streaming service. Every month Criterion will organize its films into themed compilations. Some are pretentious sounding like ‘Cinema Verité’ others are kind of silly like ‘The Mustache Club.’ But they often help us decide what to watch. The theme that caught our eye this month was ‘Cast Against Type: Heroes as Villains.’ I love it when an actor shows off their range.

Wolfman
Wolfman marks the first film release of 2025 and the first film from this year that I got to see. Not only was it a pretty good horror film but it was a textbook perfect metaphor for generational trauma. The very small cast did a great job, and it was an excellent way to kick off the year. 2025 is going to be full of incredible movies just like the last few years have been. But hopefully this film is an indication that horror movies are about to improve, cause last year was a little rough.

5 Korean Films For Your Weekend Watch List
My guilty pleasure is Korean drama. The spy thriller that got me addicted was “Commitment”, a film released in 2013. When I first started watching K-dramas, they were only available in the US on Netflix and Viki. Now the streaming platforms compete for viewers and subscribers and I'm loving it!

Everything is Fine
From the Lady in the Radiator saying, “In heaven, everything is fine,” this atheist knows better. Late great director David Lynch is in a place of ideas. When he died this past week, all I could ideate about were ideas. He had tons of them. From the scene with his deformed, monstrous child in the world in Eraserhead (1977) to the notes he used from a song about a “Candy-colored clown they call the sandman,” in Blue Velvet (1986) this matador took his audience on trips and flights of fancy.

David Lynch: The Filmmaker Who Broke All the Rules and Won
David Lynch isn’t just a filmmaker—he’s a world-builder, a dream-weaver, and a master of the subconscious. His work doesn’t simply entertain; it unsettles, provokes, and lingers in the mind long after the credits roll. Few directors have managed to create an artistic language so distinct, where the bizarre feels normal, the beautiful feels sinister, and the mundane feels extraordinary.
