Quick Thoughts On “The Boy Downstairs”
Here on Stanko’s Stance, we are going to be going through a bit of a stretch of films that lived on my watchlist for a long time before finally watching them.
“Poor Things” Is A Wonderful Fantasy Acid Trip
Poor Things is unique. It has a vibe of its own. Poor Things owns all its eccentricities and boasts its flavor of comedy and insight.
“Nyad” Is A Crowd Pleaser. Remarkably Recommendable.
Shoutout to my parents for recommending Nyad (2023). They don’t remember doing it, but I promise you, they did.
John McTiernan’s First Movie “Nomads” Is A Wandering Bit Of Potential
Nomads (1986) is a small budget thriller with a well-conceived premise but flawed execution.
“Saltburn” Is Still Worthy Of Talk
Yes, It’s been two months since Saltburn (2023) was the hot button topic being discussed. Yet, here I am. These are my thoughts on Amazon Prime’s original divisive work, Saltburn.

“The Holdovers” Is A Rare Bleak Comedy Comfort Watch
Truly, The Holdovers is at its simplest, very pleasurable. It hits all the right notes while adding some unreal unique ticks.

It’s Incredible. Plain And Simple.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023) is fucking outstanding. Plain and simple.
“The Conversation” Is A Forgotten Francis Ford Coppola Gem
Despite being made in 1974, Francis Ford Coppola’s The Conversation still has a haunting impact that ripples throughout modern day society. The electronic surveillance technology at the center of this political thriller has improved greatly in the 50 years since The Conversation’s release, but the paranoia infused within Coppola’s private eye mystery still plays on every level.
“Sanctuary” Is A Unique Play On Power Dynamics, And Most Definitely NSFW
Sanctuary (2023) is a strange movie, and one you should not watch on a train sitting next to someone.
