The Batman 8.5/10

It is bum-numbing long, but I was digging everything about it. Pattinson, Zoe Kravitz, the cityscape, the overall vibe. I liked them going the detective route, rather than just another bombastic blockbuster.

It looks like they might be setting up the Joker for the next film, but I hope they don't; do something interesting with one of the more obscure members of Batman's rogues gallery instead.

I think its more likely that we will see the Joker in the third installment.

I feel like we might see a no man’s land/Arkham city style story given the city is underwater and things are wide open

X- 8/10

Ti West continues to be one of my favorite horror directors. Like all his stuff this one is building to something and it takes it's time getting to the splatter...but it's a damn good trip there. Easily the best cinematography he's had yet, very fun soundtrack too. If ya watch it, stay tuned through the credits because it does something no other A24 horror film has done

Turning Red-8/10

Funny coming of age movie about a little girl in Canada who inherits a family curse of turning into a red panda. This movie was clearly geared for preteens, discursively girls, and the typical jokes are hilarious and were unexpected. It’s also very zany in a way Disney movies usually aren’t. Was getting anime vibes from how expressive the characters were. Loved it.

Wanted to add something else, which is not obvious while watching and most people won't realize until post-film, so read at your own discretion

Lights Out-7/10

PG13 horror movie that does a good job of being really creepy despite not having much gore and minimal body count. Movie about a mental ill mother who’s just two husbands, and has somehow summoned a shadow demon that cannot attack unless there’s no light.

UHF - 6/10

Garfield has recieved a best actor nom for tick tick boom

How did Denis Villeneuve not get a best director nomination for “Dune”…
Getting “Dune” right should have its own award.

Tick Tick Boom sucked more ass than the guy it was about

Garfield really does need to get a new agent.
Or just start reading the screenplays before he commits to the project.

yr mum sucks ass

Unlikely, she won’t even eat lamb.

Charlie Bartlett - 5.5/10

Watching the Nic Cage revenge movie Mandy. This thing is bonkers. Like if an acid trip was a movie.

Big fan of Mandy

‘Twas very weird. In an interesting way. The second hour is great. Just non stop Nic Cage vengeance, spewing bloody violence everywhere. I’m glad I didn’t watch it while high.

Mandy-7/10

Memento- 8/10


clever premise. good execution. supporting cast really outshines Guy Pearce who i think really holds the film back. if you do this film with a better lead it probably ends up nolans best work.

Memento is still in my top 10 of all time. Fantastic movie.

Watching Blazing Saddles for the first time.

Memento is Nolan’s best film and I love Guy Pearce in it. That’s Guy Pearce at his very best.

thats probably true. thats his best. which is a shame. with a better lead the film would only improve.

Oh you! *shakes fist*

Block Island Sound-7/10

Sci-fi thriller that never quite gives you the big monster you would think it’s hinting at, but it’s good and the ending brings it to a nice finish.

Antlers-7/10
Possessed monster movie about as kid hiding a secret in a drug riddled Oregon town. Sad but effective

The Bubble - 6/10


the social commentary is good. taking a piss out of both the film industry and covid is refreshing. hopefully we will look back on the last two years like this film does with utter disdain and complete mockery of everything we did and were subjected to. i enjoyed Gillan and Pascal quite a bit.

that said for a 2 hour comedy most of the gags didnt land and its a bit of a mess that doesnt know how to end, a point the film is aware of and might make for an unintentional allegory.

lots of good cameos though...still ultimately this is basically Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back complete with dick jokes and weed humor.

Apatows best work might be behind him.

Apatow’s best work was behind him ten years ago at least.
Probably closer to fifteen.

i really enjoyed his show Love (2016-2018) and i hear the king of staton island (2020) stands aside his best work but i cant stand the lead so ive never given it time

Blazing Saddles - 7/10

Color Out of Space - 4/10

I think the 80's Dune ruined it for anything that came after.

Jackass Forever - 5/10

Jackass Forever 9/10

Love this franchise so much

Dune. 9/10 although I probably would have liked it less in the theatre since I haven't read the books and wouldn't have had the benefit of pausing and rewinding.

Really inspiring visually and I appreciated the slow-moving story because it gave me a chance to just enjoy the vastness of the world.

The Purge Election Year

These movies are pretty dumb but the politics are interesting. The big oversight seems to be that you should just leave the country on Purge night, ofc of course thats not possible for everyone and would highlight the classist element of the whole thing etc, but if they include the part about people visiting the country for "murder tourism" you'd think they'd address people fleeing as well

The Night House-7/10

Rebecca Hall plays widow after her husband commits suicide. Her lake house gets creepy and she starts to feel what she thinks is her husband’s spirit but soon realizes it’s something else calling to her.

The First Purge

The scale of this purge is smaller so they deal with the idea of people fleeing (via the govt giving them 5000$ if they stay)... again the politics are interesting as its direct violence targeted twds lower class people. But once you get halfway through the movie its pretty much just people shooting each other

Fresh - 5.5/10

The Exorcist-8/10

Was scared shitless of this movie growing up. I was raised very Catholic. Went to church, was baptized, got my first communion, confirmation, etc. I watched this the first time when I was 12 or so and the idea of possession and the devil was very real to me, and I’ve avoided a rewatch for years.

But the misses wanted to watch it so we threw it on. It’s a slow burn to start, but I love the story slowly progressing and breaking down the mom’s attempts at logical, scientific and sensible reasons as to why her daughter’s going insane, only to give in to worsening desperation to seek out the church.

I also love how the movie doesn’t beat you over the head with religion. Father Damien, great name, is losing his faith to start the film and admits as much to a fellow priest. And even when he’s confronted with Regan being possessed, he still tries to be logical until it’s undeniable, and of course that’s where he finds his faith and purpose again for just a few fleeting moments.

The movie isn’t scary in a traditional sense. Non believers or non religious people, like myself these days, won’t get scared. But it’s still very disturbing, the scenes of Regan slowly losing herself are great and disturbing and the medical stuff we see her go through are scary and claustrophobic in their own right.

Everything Everywhere All at Once - 8.5/10

Was PrettyCool and PrettyWeird. :y:
