Dave’s Movie Diary is a daily film reflection based on whatever I watched the night before. It’s not a technical breakdown or film theory deep dive — just personal thoughts, reactions, and perspective in the moment. Sometimes it’s a first watch, sometimes a rewatch, and when it is, I’ll compare how it felt then versus how it feels now.

I revisit Paul Schrader’s Cat People (1982), a stylish and undeniably strange cult film I’d been wanting to see again for years. With memorable performances from Nastassja Kinski and Malcolm McDowell, an atmospheric Giorgio Moroder score and David Bo... more
I revisit Smoke (1995), Wayne Wang’s beautifully understated character drama written by Paul Auster.
