  • The Dark Knight

    The Dark Knight 2008

    ★★★★★ Rewatched 15 Sep 2023 2

    You'll hunt me. You'll condemn me. Set the dogs on me. Because that's what needs to happen. Because sometimes the truth isn't good enough. Sometimes people deserve more. Sometimes people deserve to have their faith rewarded.

    If Batman Begins is Bruce learning to do what is necessary in order to inspire Gotham, The Dark Knight is Bruce directly grappling with the consequences and sacrifice of being Batman. Bruce almost has to reject his humanity in order to do the right thing in…

    CityWalk 70mm IMAX! 

    Yeah, I'm convinced this is the Lawrence of Arabia of the 21st Century. Is that a bold statement? Probably, but it's pretty accurate. Also insane how this pretty much reframes Nolan's entire filmography linking each movie together in a way that gradually peels back the layers of the man revealing his soul and the fears and anxieties that keep him up at night. His fear of man's lust for dominance and arrogant pursuit of knowledge and its cycle…

    Sonic the Hedgehog 2 2022

    ★★★½ Watched 16 Dec 2024 1

    Alright...I'm officially a fan. Sonic 2 fucking RIPS! A bigger, better more bombastic sequel in every way imaginable. Just a massively entertaining and HILARIOUS live action cartoon that's finally allowed to let loose where its predecessor was unable to. Seriously, parts of this felt like Austin Powers levels of parody for a film that doesn't exist while still playing the emotional moments of friendship and heroism with complete earnestly. We get full 90s, Riddler-mode Jim Carrey and it only reminds…

  • How the Grinch Stole Christmas

    How the Grinch Stole Christmas 2000

    ★★★★★ Rewatched 15 Dec 2024

    But what if it's a cruel prank? What if it's a cash bar? How dare they. God I rediscover lines that make me laugh my ass off every time.

    The most millennial coded film...ever? The Grinch really is all of us haha

  • Spider-Man: No Way Home

    Spider-Man: No Way Home 2021

    ★★★½ Watched 13 Dec 2021 14

    Spider-Man No Way Home is the tale of 2 halves. First is everything I feared, cheap, gratuitous, nostalgia mixed w/ randomness and nonsense. Second is the quintessential Spider-Man story I’ve WANTED from Holland. Packs an emotional wallop & some of the best Spidey moments ever. Messy but satisfying.

  • Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness

    Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness 2022

    ★★★ Watched 03 May 2022 9

    If Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness proves one thing it’s if you hire Sam Raimi to make a movie, you better damn well have him HEAVILY involved in the writers room. MASSIVE disconnect between the script & Raimi’s creative ambitions. Simultaneously some of the best AND worst of the MCU.

    When Raimi’s allowed to be goofy, mean spirited & sincere ORGANICALLY holy shit sparks fly. His vision for Strange is passionate & strong, wonderfully melodramatic & campy but good god is it…
