  Independence Day 1996

  ★★★★ Watched 22 Mar 2025

  A complete antithesis to Arrival -- my favorite alien movie ever -- yet endearing and inspiring in its own quirky way. Maybe we should all re-watch this and learn a thing or two.

  Enter the Void 2009

  ★★★½ Watched 10 Mar 2025

  Ehmmm. It's somewhere between a music video and porn, but also runs for almost three hours. YMMV!

  Borderlands 2024

  ★★½ Watched 09 Aug 2024 2

  The good:
  -VFX
  -Costumes
  -Claptrap was accurately portrayed
  -Two adult women in leading roles
  -Cate Blanchett’s cheekbones
  -Ariana’s performance as Tiny Tina

  The bad:
  -Cate Blanchett was obviously doing this for the money
  -Bond villain from Temu
  -Everything else

  This should have been a heist movie, but ended up having too much badly written script for the run time of a kid’s movie. A prime of example of “you shouldn’t make something just because you can”.
