Watched: Disclosure Day 🍿

I spent most of the film entirely confused and left annoyed they didn’t make it about the best part.

Watched: The Day of the Locust 🍿

Boy this gets crazy at the end.

Watched: Eephus 🍿

My favorite Wes Anderson.

Watched: Harper 🍿

One of the best opening scenes in any movie.

Watched: Obsession 🍿

Not necessarily a great movie, but an original movie that was great in theaters solely for the audience reactions.

Watched: Platoon 🍿

Thu, 18 Jun 2026 21:30:12 -0500

Watched: Backrooms 🍿

It’s dumb, doesn’t know what it wants to do with itself and liable to give me nightmares. So it’s an average 21 year old.

Watched: Hoppers 🍿

It’s a perfectly serviceable but not extraordinary Pixar environmental movie.

Watched: Toy Story 4 🍿

Fri, 05 Jun 2026 22:29:43 -0500

Watched: The Hindenburg 🍿

A slow burn until it isn’t.

Watched: Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu 🍿

Grogu is cute. Mando shoots. Ludwig’s score is the best part.

Thu, 14 May 2026 13:08:57 -0500

Watched: Eraserhead 🍿

Not nearly high enough to appreciate this, I guess?

Sun, 26 Apr 2026 14:03:19 -0500

Watched: Project Hail Mary 🍿

Rock is the best part and is better than the book at a lot of points, the rest is less appealing.

Wed, 18 Mar 2026 18:08:41 -0500

Watched: The Secret Agent 🍿

Sat, 14 Mar 2026 20:34:33 -0500

Watched: Blue Moon 🍿

Fri, 26 Dec 2025 17:56:00 -0500

Watched: The Mastermind 🍿

It doesn’t have the atmosphere of First Cow or Meek’s Cutoff. So much of this film could’ve been transported to any time and it would’ve been the same movie.

Watched: Who Killed the Montreal Expos? 🍿

90 minutes of everyone blaming everyone else.

Mon, 22 Dec 2025 13:49:00 -0500

Watched: Breakdown: 1975 🍿

Another documentary that wants to remind you the 70s sucked. It’s supposed to be centered around 1975 but a good chunk of the material comes from other years. But regardless it’s fine.

Watched: Train Dreams 🍿

Never read the book, but damn did this wreck me in the best ways possible.

Wed, 17 Dec 2025 17:14:00 -0500

Watched: Asteroid City 🍿

I mean, it does look really good.

Tue, 09 Dec 2025 23:34:00 -0500

Watched: The Running Man 🍿

Michael Cera’s revolutionary Kevin McCallister is the best part, after that it kind of goes downhill.

Sun, 07 Dec 2025 23:58:00 -0500

Watched: Hamnet 🍿

The shooting, the sets, and the vibes are top level. The movie itself is the embodiment of slow cinema and not necessarily in the good way. It’ll get its nominations deservedly but it already feels like a movie that’ll be a watch and forget pretty quickly.

Thu, 04 Dec 2025 00:08:00 -0500

Watched: Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery 🍿

Daniel Craig continued to be the best thing about the film but it drags, especially in the middle. Still a delight, but not as delightful of a doughnut hole within a doughnut hole.

Watched: The Conjuring: Last Rites 🍿

Not the worst of the Conjuring series but that’s not a huge accomplishment given all the movies since the first have been generally terrible. Add in the misguided attempt to redeem the Warrens and it’s a generally miserable movie.

Sun, 23 Nov 2025 00:07:00 -0500

Watched: The Social Network 🍿

The genesis story of why everything is so terrible today. Everyone in the film is just terrible, and the 15 years since have only proven that out even more.
