Balances such a fine line between earnest and comedy, while never going too far in one direction or the other. Easily one of Gosling’s best performances.

Also was staring at Paul Schneider totally confused how it wasn’t Zachary Quinto

BIANCA 8

I am this movie’s target demographic

Watched on Saturday February 14, 2026.

Why throw sand in their face when you can throw your own blood??

WATERFALL 6

Watched on Wednesday February 4, 2026.

This review may contain spoilers.

Imagine how crazy of a plot twist it would’ve been if it turned out they were on Epstein’s island

The FBI, Mob, and other Bounty Hunters: “where the hell is the Duke? We can’t find him!”

The Duke: at home with his wife

A few moments of crazy suspension of disbelief, especially with character motivations but too fun not to enjoy, and De Niro is great (surprise I know). Love the running gags and really love the two leads in this. Also clearly some major PTA influence!

Also WTF type of planes have two stories?!?

FISTAPHOBIA 8

I really enjoyed it when Amelie used her powers for evil 

Loved the visual style of this so much! We need to bring back whatever type of color grading this was…

GARDEN GNOME 8

This was my Avenger’s End Game.

Glad Linklater was able to capture Jean-Luc’s pretentious bullshit so elegantly lol.

I kinda felt like Linklater ran out of steam tho because why isn’t there anything about the post production besides one 6 minute scene. Wish I got more post production and public screening of the film. Also wish he had incorporated more of the real people in the credits but that’s a small nitpick.

SPINAL COLUMN 7

Shot like a Verizon commercial and written like dollar store Ex Machina 

BEEP BOOP 5

The indomitable human spirit is one thing, but the indomitable human filmmaking spirit is a beast of its own.

Mike you sweet prince. Gentle giant.

THERE’S SOMETHING TO LIVE FOR, JESUS TOLD ME!!!

Yeah this was great. I love Panahi’s docufiction work but damn when he does strictly narrative he knows what he’s doing…

And a fantastic fucking ending goddamn 

PEG LEG 8

Matt and Ben have more on screen chemistry than most rom com leads…which could mean nothing.

CARTEL FACETIME 6

Roberto Calamari gotta be one of the best fake names of all time 

Radiohead needle drop was fire 

MOON 7

Like it or not, this is what true male friendship looks like.

It’s funny how Ridley Scott makes better films with no money because it forces him to give a fuck about the script.

SNEEEEZE 7

You know it’s a crazy film set when Shia starts making sense

Harry Potter is a nepo baby

Dream mother fucking BIG

Foot on the gas, adrenaline rush, insane Timothy performance, amazing score, came out of the theater with a shit eating grin

I’m sure young men will get the wrong idea from this film but those that see it for what it is will have a transformative experience 

WHEATIES BOX 9

Extra star because it’s sorta about filmmaking 

THEMES 4

Idris Elba out of breath the entire time he’s on screen was so funny it almost made up for that spineless cowardly third act

Random thought but we as a society need to do everything in our power to make sure Sydney Sweeney and Emerald Fennell never meet or communicate

A 3 hour film about the trials and tribulations of dual parenting 

JAKESULLY 6

Miss Minchin if I ever catch you out on the streets just know your days are fucking numbered, you got solo’d by a little girl and you have no swag

CGI MONSTER 8

Watched on Thursday December 18, 2025.

Josh O’Connor you national treasure you 

CHECKMATE 7

Everyone needs a hug in this movie, including me

HAWK 9

Rumor has it, for Erik’s 10th birthday he got a Salò bluray 

IKEA STOOL 8

Maybe some trees deserved to get cut 

Every year there’s one or two films that get the “deeply humanist” label, Train Dreams is that movie for 2025.

AIRPLANE 8

Thank you Letterboxd for putting this up for rent, and thank you virtual poker for allowing Ullom to fund this. 

ROAD ENDS 8

Opens with a Sylvia Plath quote and ends with a George Clooney acting reel and yet I still teared up. Melodramatic but in a way that works so incredibly well, only Baumbach can do stuff like this

And Sandman crushes it 

PUPPY 8

Watched on Monday December 1, 2025.

Maybe the real wicked is the friends we made along the way

FLYING MONKEY 7

Watched on Wednesday November 19, 2025.

What type of pronouns are MU/TH/UR???

GLASS GRASS 6

If I ever say “let’s go explore this cave,” kill me, that ain’t me. 

ROPE BURN 7

Bruno Ganz in the OG cuck chair

RATS 7

Captain: “Oh my god holy fucking shit there’s a literal fucking monster killing my men outside holy fucking shit!”

Victor: “It all started with my mother you see…”

PARADISE LOST 7

Feels like this could’ve been made yesterday…

WALKING CANE 8

70’s grime and sweat with quippy dialogue and engrossing crime set pieces, what’s not to love?

A Scorsese movie through and through before Scorsese was directing. 

Through tension there’s diamonds…

THE UNCLE 9

This is why you NEVER switch up on your day ones…

also if Yoshii was in America he would’ve had a podcast with Gary Vee

Look at film notes for specific details as to why I want to rewatch

• The Travelling Players

  Had no context beforehand and probably wasn’t in the right mood, may be a bit advanced for me atm so a rewatch in the future will probably me very rewarding

• Certified Copy

  A top 3 filmmaker of mine, this is one that I felt little to nothing for but has replayed in my mind as time as gone on, definitely need to rewatch

• The Wind Will Carry Us

  Another Kiarostami, usually his slow style is very melodic and hypnotic but tbh this one bored me to death, I suspect I wasn’t in the right headspace but I want ti rewatch this one regardless

• Yi Yi

  Watched this when I was really sick, fell asleep a few times, just have it 4/5 and hoped no one noticed, so yeah def need to rewatch this

• Holy Motors

  Didn’t connect but feels like a film I should love

• The Wolf House

  Need to read into history before rewatching it because I was lacking on historical context

• Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai

  Loved this film and just wanna rewatch it, may be a favorite

• Dead Man's Letters

  Fell asleep 20mins in and never went back, should probably give it another try

• Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives

  I want to be hypnotized again

• Code Unknown

  Really any haneke fits here but I just want to rewatch this
