Willem Dafoe Appreciation Month
12.
Kinds of Kindness

3 stories, almost 3 hours long and not worth it.
The third of the bunch is the most put together and well paced.
The first two lack serious momentum

Overall, a slog of a pointless art film

4/10

William Defoe Appreciation Month continues with

Anamorph (2008)
Director: Henry Miller

Apparently it's a lackluster Se7en rip off that never made any sort of impact

Continuing with #Defoebruary

Off Limits (1988)
- great/underrated Defoe movie

The Ambushers (1967)

((Willem Dafoe Appreciation Month))

Up Next:
Light Sleeper (1992)
Director: Paul Schrader

Paul Schrader has a specific audience of middle aged white men who love his stuff.
Stylish, semi-erotic thrillers to fulfill the gritty fantasy they never fully outgrew

3.
Streets of Fire (1984)
Director: Walter Hill

A very cool and stylized gang movie with musical elements. Apparently Hill wanted this to be a hero / comic book movie he could turn into a franchise.

It's pretty great

9/10

2.
Handjob in an elevator (1993)

I mean,
Body of Evidence (1993)
Director: Uli Edel

Inept Basic Instinct ripoff that was made to show Madonna naked to the world for a career boost, I'm guessing.

Weak story and bad acting
Made for late night Cinemax

the Hunter:::
Nothing new
An old familiar story with familiar tropes.
Beautiful scenery and a stupid B storyline.
Luckily the White American Man is able to outsmart all the locals.

So dumb

5/10
February 10, 2026 at 6:48 PM
Judging this off the previous 5 movies, it has more going for it.
It's dumb, but entertaining.

Willem Defoe Appreciation Month
continuing with:

Vox Lux (2018)
Director: Brady Corbet

Willem Dafoe narrates the over dramatic life of a modern teen pop star.
I didn't realize he was only the narrator, but I guess it counts.

So
Melodramatic

(Robert Mitchum Appreciation Month)
Deep dive into a bunch of Mitchum movies I've never seen
February 16, 2026 at 5:20 PM
#Defoebruary
Vox Lux (2018)

This movie is bad.
Melodramatic, over the top character performances, dumb pseudo-political topics they attempt to tackle but end up brushing off

Not for me

2/10

13.
Off Limits (1988)
Director: Christopher Crowe

one of the best I've seen so far.
Wasn't appreciated in '88 due to the violence. I think a modern audience would like it

Intense wartime military investigation in Saigon during the Vietnam War

8/10
February 19, 2026 at 9:24 PM
Kathryn Bigelow debut featuring Willem Dafoe in his first leading role.
Style over substance, but luckily that style is 1950's Cool
Slow paced and very impressive

February 15, 2026 at 2:53 AM
Blatant Artsy Se7en rip off that never explains itself.

There's no reason to care for anyone in this movie.

They talk about the previous killings that happened 5 years ago more than deal with the present killings.

Seems like they should have made THAT movie
