Because some acts can’t be undone. Because man is an animal. Because the desire for vengeance is a natural impulse. Because most crimes remain unpunished. - via Letterboxd.com Lilith's Notes: I was having a nice week until this happened. Watch Now: Amazon "There are no bad deeds, only deeds." This week, I was afforded a little staycation, which I welcomed with open arms. I was reckless, staying up until 4am playing video games and watching Youtube, subsisting on sugary snacks and prepackaged food. In this moment of hedonistic, damn-the-consequences existence, Kage and I decided to destroy our souls a little. For a treat. We watched Irreversible . You know what this movie is. We all know what it is. It’s Gaspar Noé at his Gaspar Noé-...

Watch Now: VMX "I think this is what they call The Call of the Wild." Five college-age students and a cabin in the woods. It’s a tale as old as time and it transcends cultures. We all have a cabin, we all have a wood, and we all have a cave. Sometimes it’s the cave from the Dave Franco/Allison Brie cosmic horror film Together . Sometimes it’s the cave that so succinctly described evolution in Ice Age . Sometimes it’s overgrown with crystals and is more of a fortress of soli...

The lead star also has a private go with the casting directors’ buxom secretary right on the casting directors’ table. - via Letterboxd.com Lilith's Notes: Welcome to the tail end of the Golden Age Watch Now: Adult Empire "You watch too many of your own movies." Recently, I had metaphorically cast out a bunch of nets out into the world. This week, they all decided to come back at the same time, swelled with silvery little fish and leaving me feeling overwhelmed. So, I admit I don’t have much in the gas tank today, my friends. Please understand. Still, we persevere. Matinee Idol came out at the very tale end of the Golden Age, and the way it tries to stand on the heads of giants, or at least mount them at all, tells us that it is aware that th...

Watch Now: XVideos "I said sit down." Happy belated Valentine’s Day to all who practice. Boy, do we have a treat for you! Speaking of belated, it’s better late than never that Kage and I finally touched on this film… But we’ll discuss that aspect in a moment. Angels of Passion is an 80s skin-flick about a threesome who, w...

Can roses fix a Valentine's gone wrong? - via Lustcinema.com Lilith's Notes: A sequel to another vaguely holiday-themed film Watch Now: Lustcinema.com | HotMovies "Valentine's Day is a sad excuse for us to feel sorry for ourselves and spend lots of money." Welcome to Single’s Awareness Month, no, that’s not our review theme for February, it’s just what sarcastic little edgelords like myself prefer to call the Valentine’s season. I have a question for you, something to ponder: Out of all 28 days in February, which one is the best? Finished pondering? Good. If you said February 15th, y...

Watch Now: Amazon "In theory I like it, but in practice I might need aftercare." Welcome back to a fresh new year of Lilith Likes to Watch. Looking around, it seems that so far, 2026 is just second verse, same as the first. Probably even more dire. Great. Maybe we should try and start this year of reviews with something fun, snarky and perhaps uplifting? Too bad that isn’t what we have on the docket for tonight. Instead of fun we have something else… We have twee. My goodness how I hate twee. Now, I suppose twee can be defined in many different ways....

2025 sure was a year. We consumed so many short films that reflecting on best and worst was a rather daunting experience. Therefor Kage and I decided to tackle the end of the year list in a new way: Make our own little award show! Who was the best performer? What had the best set design? What was the worst remake? As usual, the one real rule was that it had to be something we watched for the first time in 2025. Otherwise, it was a free for all. Let's begin! *** Best and Worst of 2025... BEST SCENE OF THE YEAR Flesh and Fire Read Original Review A witchy, arcane experience where a woman tends to herself sing a lit candle. It's also infuriatingly brief and apparently only a trailer for a bigger work we were never able to find. This is our new White Whale. If anyone can direct us to the full experience that is Flesh and Fire, please do. It has never left our minds since we saw it. We are bewitche d. Also, if there was an award for Best Use of a Candle of the Year, Flesh and Fire w...
