  • Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

    Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince 2009

    ★★★★½ Rewatched 28 Dec 2024

    I understand why Yates gets so much shit, but the way he streamlines the stories of the later movies is honestly pretty impressive. Yeah, a lot of cool stuff got cut, but for the most part he totally maximizes the dramatic impact of what’s there. Half Blood Prince’s omissions from the book should annoy me much much much more than they do, and the fact I like this a great deal is a testament to his skill as a director.…

  • Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

    Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix 2007

    ★★★★½ Rewatched 26 Dec 2024

    Montage is one of the most powerful tools in filmmaking.

  • Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

    Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban 2004

    ★★½ Rewatched 25 Dec 2024

    Cuaron directs this thing like its the last movie he’ll ever make. It’s too bad the story doesn’t live up to his effort.

    I firmly believe that time travel doesn’t belong in the fantasy genre.

  • Juror #2

    Juror #2 2024

    ★★★½ Watched 22 Dec 2024

    An increased exposure to him recently has made me realize that Hoult just doesn’t do it for me.

    He’s fine, but he lacks that extra thing (ex. Messina’s general sliminess, Collette’s face, Simmons’ voice) that would make him a more interesting person to watch.

    Anyway, the movie is good! I love a good moral quandary, and it’s nice to see Clint try again, he even used a real baby this time! I hope he directs the next film in the Ant-Man franchise.

  • Watchmen: Chapter I

    Watchmen: Chapter I 2024

    ★★★★ Watched 01 Dec 2024

    Pretty good! Despite being a carbon copy of the graphic novel (as it should be tbh, don’t mess with perfection) there’s a handful of really cool choices made that really make the story come alive visually.

  • Blown Away

    Blown Away 1994

    ★★★★ Watched 17 Feb 2024

    This was an absolute hoot. And I'm not just saying that because U2 got multiple shoutouts and needle drops (none of which really fit with the scenes but you won't find me complaining about that) but because some beautiful, wonderful casting director, dialogue coach and studio executive gave us two hours of Tommy Lee Jones and Jeff Bridges going all in on terrible but amazing irish accents.

    Great movie!

  • Aliens

    Aliens 1986

    ★★★★ Rewatched 15 Feb 2024

    Xenomorphs are so dang cool

  • Kate & Leopold

    Kate & Leopold 2001

    ★★★ Watched 29 Jan 2024

    Definitely left some “guy from the 1800’s finds himself in modern day New York, hijinks ensue” meat on the bone, but oh well! It’s cute!
