To be fair, I’d let young Fredric March wreck my life, too.

Atomic Blonde 2017
Bisexual badass British bitch Charlize kicking Commie ass in 1989 Berlin while drenched in Wong/Refn-style neon, wearing gorgeous clothes, and set to a bangin' New Wave (mostly) soundtrack? What did you expect me to rate it?

Most unrealistic part of this film: That anyone would, even for a second, ever go for Monroe Owsley over Fredric March (especially when March is super rich on top of it).

Gilda 1946
Has to be one of my favorite screenplays ever; the dialogue sizzles with scintillating psychosexual barbs and is positively overflowing with double (and triple) entendres (sadomasochistic and gay subtext abounds). It’s a beautiful film to look at as well, not least of which because of Hayworth, whose delivery, both verbally and physically, is absolutely stupendous. Another all-timer noir for me!

5. The Fall of the House of Catton
6. And lastly:
