Film Diary January abnd February 2026
Mar. 13th, 2026 11:32 am January:
Jan 16: Black Phone 2, rollicking good fun, absolutely hilarious, new favorite horror movie. When the Grabber came out on his sinister little ice skates I fell in love.
Jan 17: American Psycho, fav. Finally made Rich watch it.
Jan 18: Longlegs, which I love but STILL doesn't stick in my memory after multiple rewatches. I'm astonished to see it here and realize I've rewatched it that recently.
Jan 31: What Lies Beneath, with Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer. Ghost movie. Very long and a bit tedious at times but I'd still call it a bit of a forgotten gem. The way Ford is written as an abusive husband is perf, and to me at least it reads like real lived experience from the writer.
Feb 04: Bomb Hunters, documentary on Cambodian scrappers.
Feb 04: Iron Lung, Markiplier's new movie.
Feb 06: Shadow Magic, Chinese film from 2001-ish about the introduction of silent films to China.
Feb 08: John Carpenter's The Fog.
Feb 16: Blades of Glory, yeah the ice skating movie with Will Ferrell. Unabashed fan of this film. The real Yuri on Ice.
Feb 19: Power of the Dog rewatch. FFFFFUCK it's so good.
Feb 20: South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut. Genuinely, the musical sequences are so skilled.
Feb 22: 8 Seconds (the Lane Frost story).
Feb 24: The Endurance (documentary)
Feb 27: The Quick and the Dead - the made-for-TV HBO Western with Sam Elliott, 1987. Not the Sam Raimi one from 95.
Feb 27: This Boy's Life, AMAZING EXPERIENCE watching this with my dad and listening to him giggle at all the sad parts.
Feb 28: Dead of Winter. Not fantastic but worth a watch. Basic thriller with admirable pretensions to art.
Feb 28: Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. Yuri on Asphalt. Did NOT remember the fully passionate French kiss between Sacha Baron Cohen and Will Ferrell at the end.
