  • Glass Onion

    Glass Onion

    ★★★★½

    This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

    The “piece of shit” bit went completely over my head on the first two watches.

    Very good.

    This movie bangs, and Johnson’s choice to make the big mystery that the villain is an idiot is so so good.

  • Catch Me If You Can

    Catch Me If You Can

    ★★★★★

    This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

    I guess every Spielberg movie I watch, new or old after this will be spent understanding it in the context of The Fabelmans.

    Divorced parents, a kid running off to live a fantastical life in a bunch of different worlds, all in the pursuit of making what’s broken whole again. There’s something there.

    Oh and John Williams cranking out his best score of all time. Legend.

    Good shit. The best shit. I hope Spielberg buries us all.

  • Spirited Away

    Spirited Away

    ★★★★★

    This dips a little when it gets into plot stuff and moves away from bathouse hijinks, but still what a goddamn picture.

  • Arrival

    Arrival

    ★★★★★

    I mean, god. Just…man. Denis…bro. Science fiction…fuuuuuckkk. “Come back to me”….UGHHHHH

  • Source Code

    Duncan Jones, what happened to you

  • The Irishman

    The Irishman

    ★★★★★

    I picked us.

  • Skyfall

    Skyfall

    ★★★★★

    Gah this is so good.

    I suppose by this time next year we’ll at least know who the next Bond is, which will be a very strange feeling. Until then I’ll just keep imagining different realities where Danny Craig’s incarnation plays out a little smoother, like so:

    1. Casino Royale - 06
    2. Quantum of Solace -08
    3. Skyfall - 12
    4. One-off Bond Adventure - 15
    5. Spectre - 18
    6. No Time to Die - 21

    It’ll always…

  • The Prestige

    The Prestige

    ★★★★★

    Despite his reputation for darkening the Batman films, I think this is Nolan at his most grim.

    There’s no heroes to be found, just two dudes who despise each other and will stop at nothing to crush the other, no matter who’s soul is annihilated in the process.

    In short: this movie is fucking sick. Read that emphasis however you choose.

  • The Batman

    The Batman

    ★★★★½

    I love every thing about this… except the script.

    Over two hours of mystery, creepy clues and suspicion and the big reveal is that the most famous mafioso in Batman lore is… exactly who he was in Batman Begins and The Long Halloween, his two most famous appearances.

    I’m just confused about how Reeves expected us to react to all of this, and viewing it through the lens of someone not as plugged into the Batman lore, is a mafia…

  • When Harry Met Sally...

    When Harry Met Sally...

    ★★★★½

    My face got cold for the first time since April so of course I had to throw this masterpiece on.

  • The Comey Rule

    The Comey Rule

    ½

    Well, I finally got around to watching the first (god willing, only) Trump show.

    Quickly, my take on the October emails announcement is a little unusual in that I don’t think it decided the election. The further we get from 2016, the clearer it’s becoming to me at least that that election was decided the moment Hillary became the nominee. People were sick of her, the “corrupt” label was already firmly stuck to her and Trump’s base of loser white…

  • Tomorrow Never Dies

    Tomorrow Never Dies

    ★★★½

    Michelle 👏 Yeoh 👏

    This definitely registers as one of the more fluffy and fun Bond movies, but it’s also one that’s aged especially well given the subject matter.
