"Don't you think maybe they are the same thing?
Love and attention?"


[size=2]Lady Bird (2017)

I liked this movie a lot. I thought Soirse Ronan and Laurie Metcalfe were brilliant.




The Little Things (2021)


When watching a film, “why?” is often one of the first thoughts that comes to my mind. Why was this made, why are these characters in this story? The only answer I can come up with is it was for Rami Malek to try and be intense, Jared Leto “acting” like he’s creepy and Denzel battling his demons once again.

Why this movie didn’t turn out better is due to it not being very interesting.
Understand your feelings about this movie, but Leto made it worth the watch.

Barbie (2023)

That’s not what comes to mind when I think of Ken-dom.



_____ is the most important thing in my life…
Gone Girl (2014)

No explanation for why it took this long to get here. It’s Fincher, but not what I come for. Reznor makes magic per the usual.

The Creator (2023)


It's impossible to explain how such a middle of the road film causes me to have such strong feelings. Always able to disregard story and plot if the ride grabs a hold of me, this left me wishing that I was still standing in line. *Spoilers* How many times do you think you can watch people/things get attacked and flee? This movie will show you where your line is.


Shoutout to Sturgill Simpson getting that work.

Five Nights at Freddy 2023

I tried to make a game-time pivot to Priscilla that fell on deaf ears. At least the person who dragged me to this was grateful.

$78m opening weekend with simultaneous streaming release.

The Killer (2023)

After reading and listening to the dissection of what Fincher was doing, it still left me cold and empty. My take is that wasn’t his intention.

Blue Beetle (2023)

When you need something to watch while counting down the time until you can go to sleep while waiting for your food to digest.



_____ is the most important thing in my life…
National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation (1989)

Little Johnny Galecki. Young Juliette Lewis. Cody Burger. Child stars that never got their due.



_____ is the most important thing in my life…
The Holdovers (2023)

Last movie of the year, best movie of the year.

If Pauly G’s contact doesn’t win an Oscar….



_____ is the most important thing in my life…
The Boys in the Boat (2023)

Formulaic sports drama that hits the spot on an easy Sunday.



_____ is the most important thing in my life…
Parasite (2019)


Hard to believe this movie has been out this long already. Never got around to it, but it was such a pleasant surprise. My experience with Korean films has been one where there is usually a twist, to say the least. This one does not disappoint!

The Taste of Things (2023)

Like a great meal itself, even better when shared with someone you love.



_____ is the most important thing in my life…
Dune II (2024)

Giant sandworm onboarding remains a mystery.

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024)

They did Carrie Coon dirty.
