  • The Green Knight

    The Green Knight 2021

    ★★★★ Watched 31 Jul 2021

    Much more of a slow burn than I expected (and I expected a slow burn) which is alright considering how excellent the first 40 and last 20 minutes were.

    David Lowery: please never stop making making cool shit. The movies!!

  • Judas and the Black Messiah

    Judas and the Black Messiah 2021

    ★★★½ Watched 13 Feb 2021

    Judas and the Black Messiah is a charged, powerful drama that features perhaps the best performance of the year in Daniel Kaluuya (who hasn’t been getting nearly enough attention from the awards people) and yet it took a night’s sleep for me to figure out why it didn’t land as hard as I wanted it to.

    To use Judas in the title and not have the messiah character ever confront or really even acknowledge there being a Judas in his midst…

  • The Little Things

    The Little Things 2021

    ★★★½ Watched 31 Jan 2021

    Yeah, it could have used an extra script polish or two, and it's very derivative of Seven and Prisoners, but I like a good detective/serial killer movie every now and again, and The Little Things scratched that itch for sure.

  • Promising Young Woman

    Promising Young Woman 2020

    ★★★½ Watched 10 Jan 2021

    Promising Young Woman has a powerfully constructed ending and a magnetic lead performance from Carrie Mulligan, but there are pacing issues that nearly derail it in the second act.

  • Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker 2019

    ★½ Rewatched 23 Dec 2019 2

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

    I'm glad I waited to properly review until after my second watch, because my thoughts on this have changed and developed.

    First things first. The Rise of Skywalker is:

    1) A bad movie.

    2) A bad Star Wars movie.

    Ever since I saw it on Thursday, my mind has gone to 2 places in trying to contextualize what went wrong here: Watchmen and The Dark Knight Rises (PS stop putting 'Rise/Rises' in your movie titles, Hollywood. It's bad juju).

  • Toy Story 4

    Toy Story 4 2019

    ★★★★½ Rewatched 03 Jul 2019

    Pixar out here delivering one of cinema’s most iconic characters (Forky) like it’s nothing.

    Hit me harder emotionally than last time. All Toy Story movies will be 10/10’s before too long. Amazing!

  • Mary Poppins Returns

    ★★★★½ Rewatched 27 Dec 2018 2

    Emily Blunt.... is like, a real person.... can you imagine that?

  • Christopher Robin

    Christopher Robin 2018

    ★★★½ Watched 03 Aug 2018

    🔥🔥👍👍NICECORE👍👍🔥🔥

    This movie kind of destoyed me in the first 30-45 minutes. A lot of IRL stuff is happening that this movie addressed with an emotional gut punch. I would have full on sobbed soooo many times if I was in an empty theater.

    The movie sort of becomes Disney-by-numbers in the story department, but the hundred acre wood gang makes up for it by being their wonderful, wholesome selves.

    Grade: 7.5/10

  • Batman

    Batman 1989

    ★★★★★ Rewatched 25 Jul 2018

    Batman is flawed, has an occasionally frustrating script, and is inconsistent with its characters and yet... I adore every second of it.

    Seeing this on the big screen was a total delight and swept me up into the experience like it did however many years ago when I first saw it.

    Grade: 9.5/10

  • The Post

    The Post 2017

    ★★★★½ Watched 11 Jan 2018 2

    Welcome to Part 2 of "2017 Movies Where I Didn't Expect To Cry, But Did", an unexpected review series which looks at films I totally cried during because I guess that's just the person I am now.

    I know some people are looking down on this as Spielberg's little liberal passion project before he gets back into the blockbuster fare with Ready Player One. That is what I would like to call a bad take.

    It is incredibly important for…

    ★★★★½ Watched 14 Dec 2017

    In the conversation for the best Star Wars movie ever.

    Rian Johnson made a movie on par with The Empire Strikes Back.

    HOLY. SHIT.

    This is real life.
