  • Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy

    Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy 2004

    ★★★★ Rewatched 02 Dec 2018

    One of the best comedies of the 2000's, if not ever.

    Grade: 8.5/10

  • Bad Education

    Bad Education 2019

    ★★★★½ Watched 26 Apr 2020 2

    Holy shit can Cory Finley make a movie.

    In an alternate universe where I didn’t seek out Thoroughbreds or somehow didn’t love it as much as I do, it’s comforting to know that I would have become a fan of Finley either way.

    Bad Education is a fantastic follow-up to the aforementioned social thriller, occupying what is becoming my go-to genre (true crime thriller) and showing us how good those can be. Using just 108 minutes to tell its story…

  • Big

    Big 1988

    ★★★★½ Watched 26 Nov 2019

    Charming, fun, Hanks is a delight etc.

    Probably the funniest thing about this is there’s a harrowing child abduction drama that’s shoved to the background.

  • The Big Short

    The Big Short 2015

    ★★★½ Rewatched 25 Dec 2018

    I still don’t understand a damn thing anyone in this is talking about, but it’s really good.

    Even more psyched to see Vice in a few days.

    Grade: 7/10

  • The Cable Guy

    The Cable Guy 1996

    ★★★★ Watched 20 Oct 2018

    Tired: I was born in the wrong generation because culture was so much better in the ____'s

    Wired: I was born in the wrong generation because I never got to go to a medieval times restaurant

    The Cable Guy is the first of a few Jim Carrey movies that grapple with distorted reality. Where it's put upon someone in The Truman Show, here it's a byproduct of neglect. The cable guy says it himself, "I was taught the facts of…

  • A Fish Called Wanda

    A Fish Called Wanda 1988

    ★★★★½ Watched 18 Mar 2020

    Wow. Loved this! Kevin Kline gives an all time great performance of an all time great character.

    The kind of movie I’m mad at myself for not seeing sooner.

  • The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley

    The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley 2019

    ★★★★½ Watched 19 Mar 2019

    I would like to wish a pre-emptive congratulations to Jennifer Lawrence for her Academy Award winning performance as Elizabeth Holmes.

    This is a Three Identical Strangers kind of what-the-fuck documentary you just have to see to believe. The story of this company touches on the technology boom, the fuck the system attitude of youth and the devastatingly human optimism at the heart of every colossal innovative failure like this one.

    Someone had better throw a few bags of money at Sorkin to write this, because it could seriously be his next masterpiece. I’ll settle for Adam McKay if I must.

    Grade: 9.5/10

  • A Perfect World

    A Perfect World 1993

    ★★★★ Watched 26 Oct 2018

    Peak Clint Eastwood. Post-peak Costner.

    Grade: 8/10

  • Raising Arizona

    Raising Arizona 1987

    ★★★½ Watched 26 Apr 2020

    Holly Hunter did this and Broadcast News in ‘87. What a queen.

    Overall I really liked this! Rating would be higher but movies in a desert setting with a lot of sweat and dirt make me uncomfortable. I apologize for my brain!

  • Red Eye

    Red Eye 2005

    ★★★½ Watched 28 Mar 2020

    I enjoy disposable 90 minute thrillers.

    Wes Craven’s best kino.

    ★★★★★ Rewatched 06 Nov 2019

    Bring me the head of Steve Wozniak.

    Still blows my mind how damn great Seth Rogen is in this movie.
