Synchronic, 2019 - ★★★

As usual, this directing duo puts an interesting new spin on a very old kind of story. It’s a worthy addition to the time travel category.

Sound of Metal, 2019

A stunning movie. I don’t know how well it portrays being deaf, but it moved me with its portrayal of being someone who can hear who suddenly starts to lose that hearing.  SPOILER AHEAD: The scene in the bed where he realizes she has moved on and is so much better for it and he tells her it’s okay …

Parasite, 2019 - ★★★★

I can’t remember when I watched this but it was a while ago. It was incredibly strange and disturbing and worth watching if those things don’t scare you off.

The Lighthouse, 2019 - ★★★★

Buy the ticket, take the ride, smell the farts, be disturbed and left with a lot of questions and a day or so of your inner monologue speaking like a drunken Shakespearean character

Earwig and the Witch, 2020 - ★

Abrupt ending, animation not great, decent first draft of a story and movie at best

Promising Young Woman, 2020 - ★★★★

Everyone woman should watch it once. Every man should watch it two or three times. I dinged it a star because there’s a part that’s hard to watch because I wanted something different to happen but make no mistake: this movie deserves your time and your attention and your full comprehension.

A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, 2019 - ★★★★

It simultaneously puts every cynical fight you ever may have had about Mr. Rogers to bed an also manages to humanize him by showing that he was not above pain. The journalist is a stand-in for every kid that grew up in Mr. Rogers and still became kind of cynical and jaded. Hanks is arresting as …

Hope Gap, 2019 - ★★

Depressing but it has heart. Ending sucked.

Save Yourselves!, 2020 - ★★★

It’s worth watching but the end was huh?

Togo, 2019 - ★★★★

This was surprisingly true to the facts I could find. It’s hard to maintain a couple hours of mostly one man yelling “GOOD DOG” at running dogs, but Dafoe does it with aplomb. I liked it a lot, especially as an adventure movie with some scary bits that’s also meant for kids.

Wild Mountain Thyme, 2020 - ★★★

I guess, based on what the critics say, I’m not supposed to admit I liked this movie, but fuck it. I’ve spent a hundredish minutes on far, far worse films that didn’t delight me one millionth as much as this one did.

Ad Astra, 2019 - ★★★

Brad Pitt was very good in a role I don’t think anyone would expect him to excel in. Beyond that it’s not a great movie and bafflingly underused Ruth Negga and Natasha Lyonne.

Wonder Woman 1984, 2020 - ★

Oof. That did not go well.

Hubie Halloween, 2020 - ★★½

It was exactly what I thought it would be. Don’t review this thing like it’s suppose to change cinema forever. Watch it like your favorite musician is doing another tour after a long weird solo career and they’re just playing the hits you loved in high school. It’s harmless fun and should be easy to …

Midnight Special, 2016 - ★★★

Great bones but a criminal underuse of Kirsten Dunst, overuse of Adam Driver, who is great but whose plot is muddled and doesn’t really justify his kind of gravitas.

One Cut of the Dead, 2017 - ★★★★

Despite how it looks at first, it’s not a horror movie but it’s absolutely worth a watch, especially if you like indie movies. I won’t ruin it by saying more.

The Peanut Butter Falcon, 2019 - ★★★★

Great performances from the main dudes and the main lady, but the end was too abrupt

Project Power, 2020 - ★★★

The actor that plays Robin is really good. Her hoodie being Robin colors is an nice touch. It’s worth watching once.

Host, 2020 - ★★★½

Perfectly paced and does the horror via video call thing very well.

Jurassic Park, 1993 - ★★★★★

Still a great watch all these years later.
