Well you should all watch it once. Watching it alone was disorientating and left me wishing I had someone to share the experience with but it was a hell of ride. Go in blind and don’t ask of it any more than it is.
A Quiet Place Part II, 2020 - ★★★★★

I try to be stingy with 5 stars but this movie deserves it. The writing, direction, acting and SOUND DESIGN are as good as the first and in some areas even better. The main flaw that bugged me was SPOILER ALERT: The day one flashback was really only there to remind us who JK was on the first one and introduce us to Cillian and his kid. One or two more flashbacks throughout the story may have balanced it a bit.
C'est la Vie, 2016 - ★★★★

I watched a few of his shorts tonight but this was my favorite.
Beau, 2011 - ★★★

There’s so much more to be told here.
The Strange Thing About the Johnsons, 2011 - ★★★
Friday, July 23, 2021
Yes it’s disturbing but there’s nothing supernatural about it.

Come and See, 1985 - ★★★★

Brutal and unrelenting, once is enough, but it’s also necessary.
Near Dark, 1987 - ★★★★
Monday, July 19, 2021
It’s worth a watch despite the lame performance of the male lead. Henricksen and Paxton are wonderful, and Bigelow’s makes the thing a visually classic and novel experience at the same time.
The Amusement Park, 1975 - ★★
Saturday, July 17, 2021
These are all things I have seen happening to Oder folks. It’s a sad sad movie whose true horror is the inevitability that we may all face one or more of these deep indignities if we are lucky enough to grow old.
Sunshine, 2007 - ★★
Thursday, July 15, 2021
The star power is impressive, with Michelle Yeoh and Chris Evans and Cillian Murphy and Rose Byrne. The story is Event Horizon light and not one of Boyle’s best by a long short but it’s a beautifully shot film.

Synchronic, 2019 - ★★★
Thursday, April 22, 2021
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 just destroyed me.
