  • Watchmen

    Watchmen 2009

    ★★★ Rewatched 26 Aug 2022

    This proved once and for all that adapting Watchmen was possible, and perhaps necessary, no matter what that grump Alan Moore says.

    It also proved that the person tasked with adapting it needed to understand the story better than Snyder seems to here.

    Maybe one day.

  • Invincible

    ★★★ Rewatched 24 Aug 2022

    Eagles fans deserve their misery.

  • Official Secrets

    Official Secrets 2019

    ★★★½ Watched 20 Aug 2022

    This is a sturdy, “fuck Bush” genre film that with the cold fury that Oliver Stone’s lost, could have been something more impactful and raw.

    It made me very angry, as expected. The way we have coddled and looked back lonvingly at Bush Jr. with nostalgia since he left office is nothing short of maddening. Just because he’s more affable than Trump doesn’t mean he’s not an enormous sack of shit too, y’all.

    Bono, Michelle Obama; I’m looking at you!

    Might be the greatest movie of all time.

    Yeah, it's the best trilogy of all time. Not even close.

  • Phantom Thread

    Phantom Thread 2017

    ★★★★ Rewatched 29 Jul 2022

    This one’s growing on me, as I hoped.

    Day-Lewis is once again next-level, and PTA does this shit like no one else. The aesthetics of Phantom Thread suck me in and keep me there.

    U.S. Marshals 1998

    ★★★★ Watched 24 Jul 2022

    This was so great. There should have been like three more.

  • Knives Out

    Knives Out 2019

    ★★★★★ Rewatched 19 Jul 2022

    Once again I am banging the drum that Rian Johnson is the most gifted storyteller in the movies right now. He knows how they move, what we’re expecting and how to defy those expectations in the most exciting of ways.

    Glass Onion now please.

    That cat is so fucking cute

  • Interstellar

    Interstellar 2014

    ★★★★★ Rewatched 25 Jun 2022

    Coming up on eight years since it came out, looking at the letterboxd score as a crude but helpful gauge it seems Interstellar has settled in as the seminal sci-fi masterwork I’ve been championing it as from the start.

    Nolan’s true masterpiece is as bold and ambitious (in scale, scope and emotion) as any movie that’s been released in the last twenty-something years. Interstellar marked the start of Nolan’s official challenge to Spielberg’s late 80s-early 2000s run where he had all…

  • Star Wars

    Star Wars 1977

    ★★★★ Rewatched 11 Jun 2022

    Not the easiest thing to do, but it was fun to try and watch this from the perspective of someone seeing it for the first time.

    Good movie! Racists bad!

    ★★★★ Rewatched 30 May 2022

    Ok now that we’ve had our fun with Star Wars on TV, let’s get it back on the big screen, because stuff like this is way cooler.
