    The Great Mouse Detective 1986

    ★★★★½ Rewatched 24 Nov 2018 2

    So great it doesn’t need a “live action” adaptation.

    The Road to 4: Sid’s Little Shop of Horrors

    Pixar and I were born (hatched in my case) 7 months apart in 1995. I had the toys, I watched the movies and like everyone else I've had a front row seat to Pixar’s legendary film output over the last 24 years. 

    Their highs are genre-defining and their “lows” hardly drop an ounce of enthusiasm I have for whatever their next project is.

    Toy Story is the genesis of that goodwill…

  • Halloween

    Halloween 1978

    ★★½ Watched 09 Oct 2018

    If you have a specific phobia of hammy acting and lame killing sequences, then Halloween will scare the shit out of you.

    But, yeah, it doesn't hold up at all through 2018 eyes. In fact, I can't help but wonder how this actually scared people way back when. The Exorcist came out 5 years earlier and is legitimately still upsetting. This? Total cheese-fest.

    Blows my mind that anyone would find this the least bit unsettling. Whatever.

    The Road to 4: Emperor Zurg, Father of the Year

    Wanna know how to write a good sequel? Watch this and take notes.

    Toy Story 2 is when we knew this wasn’t just another movie series. While it has everything you’d expect a sequel to have (new characters, villain, backstories) they don’t overpower what this movie’s real superpower is: theme.

    Toy Story is about Woody learning to accept he won’t always be Andy’s favorite toy. 2 is about him accepting that Andy…

    That cat is so fucking cute

  • Dark City

    Dark City 1998

    ★★★★★ Rewatched 11 Feb 2019 2

    Just now realizing that this and The Truman Show are 2 very different sides of the same coin.

    Perfect all the way up to that final confrontation, which is ass.

    The Road to 4: Where’d all this dust come from????? 

    This movie is emotional terrorism.

    Those last 20 minutes.... those last 20 damn minutes......

    2 is still the better overall movie in my eyes, but it doesn’t deliver the barrage of emotional haymakers Unkrich, Arndt and co are throwing. And by god does each one land twice as strong as the last.

    I’m leaving in a few minutes for 4, AND I AM NOT EMOTIONALLY PREPARED.

    Stripes is a better villain than Thanos.

    ★★★½ Rewatched 22 Dec 2019

    License To Thrill: James Bond Rewatch Part 2

    Quantum gets a bad rap for some reason. Not sure why. It’s obviously the weakest of the 4, but is it bad? I don’t think so. Except the song. That is very bad. Will concede that one for sure. On top of the odd movies in this series being better, they also have way better theme songs. Huh. Go figure.

    Picking up minutes after the last one ended is a fun little…

  • The Bourne Supremacy

    The Bourne Supremacy 2004

    ★★★½ Rewatched 14 Jun 2021

    Still fun, but I’m not enjoying rewatching this series as much as I thought I would.
