    The Babadook 2014

    ★★★★½ Rewatched 29 Oct 2024

    Gets better and better with each viewing. The way this film portrays the dark, all-consuming nature of grief really resonates with me. As sinister as it is, this is a deeply empathetic movie that portrays a dysfunctional family in a way that pleads for their situation to get better; there’s little moments of hope that appear all throughout only to be whisked away as quickly as they come. For them to truly heal and move on, they have to stare…

    Scanner Cop 1994

    ★★★ Watched 14 Oct 2024

    Not bad for a DTV movie. The opening sequence is very well done. establishing Sam’s backstory with ease and developing him as a sympathetic character. The premise and the stakes are very clearly laid out, and the gradual escalation keeps things engaging. 

    It’s also goofy as all hell, with a mad scientist villain that feels like he was ripped straight out of a cartoon, topped off with a fortune-telling sidekick. The actors are clearly having fun, but it’s all so deeply silly. I think this installment also has the best constipation-faces thus far. The scanning sequences just keep getting more and more hilarious.

    6/10

    Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 2023

    ★★★★★ Watched 14 May 2023

    Easily my favorite Guardians film. Gunn seems more in tune with his characters and his own bizarre sensibilities than ever before. His ability to make you care for and be invested in the lives of the most outlandish characters, existing in the strangest of environments, feels like a form of magic. Vol. 3 is overflowing with visual creativity, spectacular action, humor, and compassion. 

    At two and a half hours, this movie never feels sluggish or overlong. It’s emotionally captivating, funny, sweet,…

    Barbie 2023

    ★★★★½ Watched 27 Aug 2023

    Barbie is an extremely entertaining satire that somehow strikes the balance between being an advertisement and a self-aware critique of the thing it’s advertising. It acknowledges the dissonance between the plastic, idealized fantasy of Barbie and the much more nuanced and complicated reality the brand made such an impact on.

    But ultimately, the toys represent whatever we project onto them. The brand has been condemned in recent years for touting damaging, unattainable ideals, but the film shifts the narrative to a…
