Gladiator II 2024

★½ Watched 30 Nov 2024

Made me realize that both gladiator movies could have been much more effectively horny! A lot of lost potential. Boring stuff. Fan service non sequiturs throughout.

To Catch a Killer 2023

½ Watched 20 May 2023

Can be boiled down to the moment when Shailene Woodley tries to convince a mass murderer not to commit suicide by telling him that she can “Get [him] medication.

Mulling over the fact that it seems to be a truism among Nolan-heads that « the bigger screen on which you watch a Nolan movie, the better you can understand Nolan’s greatness. » I can watch Lawrence of Arabia on a laptop screen and still understand that it’s an amazing movie.
Still, I’m a fan of Tenet.
