Because tracking all the music I listen to, all the books I read, and all the games I own still isn’t enough.

    "This is water. What I want is the ocean."

    Probably the most mature Pixar movie to date, with themes as complex and heavy as Up or Inside Out. This is the best looking 3D animated film I've ever seen, with both the fantastical and realistic settings looking amazing.

    Definitely see this appealing to older viewers, jazz fans, and people who have experienced wondering about their purpose, their spark. This is also some of the best African-American representation I've seen on…

    "The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it."

    I know nothing about writer/director Joshua Friedlander, but I'm going to make some assumptions, just for fun.

    I'm going to assume he's a married, heterosexual male.

    I'm going to assume he was watching Game of Thrones one night, and saw Nathalie Emmanuel (who is objectively gorgeous, the rest of my assumptions all rest on that fact).

    I'm assuming this gave him normal, heterosexual male thoughts.

    I'm assuming…

    After Hours

    ★★★½

    “I’ll probably get blamed for that.”

    If anyone has an argument for the universe conspiring against him, it’s Paul Hackett. This is the movie equivalent of one of those stress-induced dreams where whatever the thing is that you need is constantly dangled just outside your reach. Thankfully, it’s a lot more entertaining to watch when these absurdly frustrating things are happening to someone else. After Hours is totally unlike any other Scorsese movie I’ve seen, I didn’t know he had…

    This Is 40

    ★★★

    Do you know how proud I’d be if my child watched Lost of her own volition and loved it? My life would be complete.

    Like most Apatow productions, This is 40 is funny, flirts with moments of real emotion, and carries on for entirely too long. Leslie Mann is the MVP and the movie’s at it’s best when it leans on her, but its weakness is the many disconnected scenes that kind of feel like random asides and comedy sketches welded…

  • Appointment with Death

    Appointment with Death

    ★★★

    Suffers a bit from not being set on a train, boat, or big mysterious mansion -  the setting is half the fun in these whodunnits. I still enjoyed the mystery, even though both the setup and resolution are a tad too slowly paced. Lauren Bacall’s presence is always of the highest value, and the ending was unexpected, if not as satisfying as some of the other Poirot adaptations I’ve seen.

    Cunk on Life

    ★★★½

    The comparison of Moses to MrBeast is one that I don’t think I’ll be able to get over for a while. 

    This format has been funny since Da Ali G Show (and probably before then, unawares to me) and I have yet to get even remotely tired of it. Netflix has to know the only reason I’m putting up with their foolishness at this point is the promise of more Philomena Cunk.
