  • The Shape of Water

    The Shape of Water 2017

    ★★★★½ Watched 28 Dec 2017

    I feel like I’ve had this dream before...

    Guillermo Del Toro has allowed us another peek inside his beautiful, slightly twisted mind. The Shape of Water is the most pronounced artistic statement of the year. No question about it.

  • Last Flag Flying

    Last Flag Flying 2017

    ★★★★ Watched 22 Nov 2017

    Linklater made my favorite movie of 2016, so you better believe I was hyped for this one. Hyped going in, morose coming out.

    Linklater's consistently fabulous dialogue, characterization, and invisible (in the best way possible) direction is as present as ever in this heartbreaking story of a man who's never been able to catch a break.

    It made me very sad and want to give Steve Carell the biggest hug ever.

  • Lady Bird

    Lady Bird 2017

    ★★★★½ Watched 20 Nov 2017 4

    When I go to the cinema 60+ times a year, I’m partly doing it to join in on the overall film conversation and to follow the careers of my favorite directors or stories.

    But the biggest reason I go is because I’m chasing a feeling. It’s a feeling I get when I hear a certain melody, meet a certain person or in the case of Lady Bird, see a certain movie. I don’t know how to describe the feeling other than…

  • The Florida Project

    The Florida Project 2017

    ★★½ Watched 05 Nov 2017 6

    I don't care how good a movie is, if there are screaming children: I. WILL. HATE. IT.

    Sean Baker does a good job capturing the feeling of this particular time and place, but building it around the most aggravating character in the movie (Halley) instead of the most interesting (Bobby) was a missed opportunity.

    I will give the movie some credit for how it rolled out its plot. It's the kind of movie that seems uneventful while you're in the…

  • Mark Felt: The Man Who Brought Down the White House

    Mark Felt: The Man Who Brought Down the White House 2017

    ★★★½ Watched 20 Oct 2017

    Bad title. Good movie.

    It makes some pretty weird narrative choices like going in-depth on small things and grazing over big ones, but I didn't mind. It's informative enough to be worth your time.

    If Robert Mueller is half the man Mark Felt is, Trump is in trouble lol.

  • Battle of the Sexes

    Battle of the Sexes 2017

    ★★★★½ Watched 07 Oct 2017

    This movie was a BLAST! I know it's still early, but this has to get some Oscar love. It has to.

    Unlike Blade Runner 2049 this movie is not going to set the world on fire, nor will it push the medium into a new direction. But what it will do is serve as an incredibly entertaining, informative rallying (no pun intended) point for women in society and people like me who love good sports movies.

    As a big sports…

  • Good Time

    Good Time 2017

    ★★★★ Watched 01 Sep 2017

    Good Time: Sprite product placement > Power Rangers: Fucking Krispy Kreme bullshit.

    Shit, man. All he wanted to do was rob a bank.

    Good Time both lives up to and is the exact opposite of its title. This real-time thriller is an exhausting little movie that will no doubt go down as one of the better theater experiences I've had all year. God bless A24.

  • A Ghost Story

    A Ghost Story 2017

    ★★★★½ Watched 28 Jul 2017

    EDIT: Fuck it, this is a 4.5.

    David Lowery has managed to make the most sprawling and epic film of the year, and he did it while hiding his lead actor under a sheet.

    Rating subject to improvement.

  • The Beguiled

    The Beguiled 2017

    ★★★ Watched 02 Jul 2017

    I can't deny how well made this is, but I can call it out for being ungodly slow in the first 45 minutes to an hour.

    This is my first Sofia Coppolla movie, and even if I'm not crazy about this one, I'm definitely not turned off. The Bling Ring looks more like something down my alley.
