    Rock solid sports movie.

    ★★★½

    I go to the building that bookends the movie a lot.

    God I miss New York so much.

  • Avengers: Endgame

    Avengers: Endgame

    ★★★★

    NOTES REVIEW:
    - Clint’s sons put mayo on their hot dogs. They got what they deserved.

    - Really dig this low key opening of Tony and what’s her face hanging out, waiting to die.

    - “I dream about you. Cuz it’s always you.” Killer line delivery. Downey needs to get some serious dramatic roles now that he’s done with the MCU. Dude’s got chops.

    - “I lost the kid.” Jesus Christ, Downey.

    - I love how emaciated they made Stark.…

    Batman: The Long Halloween, Part One

    ★½

    The animation is balls compared to what it could/should be, the dialogue is incredibly lame, the changes they made are either flat-out weird or cynically done to add more action and the amount of puns/illusions to Harvey becoming Two Face made me want to kill myself. Oh you’re of two minds on something Harvey?? Such clever writing!!

    After Hush, I have no faith they’re actually going to keep it to the original killer, which is exactly what you want from…

    It's one thing to want to put your own spin on a classic story. It's another thing entirely to not understand what made the story great in the first place.

    My last direct-to-video DC movie. They're bad!

    Yeah, cat people are the weird ones.

    Be excellent to each other.

  • The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial

    The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial

    ★★★★

    Maybe the key ingredient to making a great movie is just to let Jason Clarke interrogate people with an escalating amount of intensity.

  • Excalibur

    Excalibur

    ★★★★

    We used to be a society that made well-lit, extremely horny fantasy epics with excellent production design and terrible performances. What happened to us? Why did we let Ronald Reagan do this to us?

    Watching this triggered a deeper think about something I’ve become a little obsessed with recently: the concept of what storytelling should be. And where I’ve settled on it for now is that we’ve become a little too concerned with thoughts and people explaining them to each other…

  • Fail Safe

    Fail Safe

    ★★★★★

    One of the many dumb rules I give myself when it comes to my Letterboxd is that I have to watch a film twice before giving it all five stars.

    Today I am breaking that rule, because Fail Safe is flat out one of the greatest pieces of storytelling I have ever beared witness to. Holy fucking shit.

  • The Godfather Part III

    The Godfather Part III

    ★★★½

    The Death of Michael Corleone

    New cut, same problems. Sofia isn’t great and it needed Tom Hagen in the story. Fix those things and the coda likely would have been a bigger success. As is, it works fine.

    It’s Scott Pilgrim, but stupid.

    Daniel Radcliffe is legitimately great tho. Gotta support my man.
