  Dune: Part Two 2024

  ★★★★★ Watched 06 Mar 2024

  Wish this came out in 2023, not only because it would have helped round out an insane movie year, but also to see it go head to head with Oppenheimer for the Oscars

  La La Land 2016

  ★★★★ Watched 08 Feb 2024

  Liked the songs but was absolutely blown away by the filmmaking. Long takes of all the musical numbers, insane camera moves, capturing the spectacle of LA (a city I don’t like). Chazelle has the juice

  The Holdovers 2023

  ★★★★ Watched 12 Jan 2024

  Great Christmas movie. Good New England movie. DJR’s Boston accent took me out of the movie a couple times but great performances all around. Thought her character could have used more screen time, I’m sure there is a deleted scene of her at her sisters house that was cut for more Giamatti/Tully in Boston, which is fine. Giamatti is so funny at times and Sessa is great. I was able to connect into this movie in ways I couldn’t with the iron claw, which I think is why I was a little lower on that film than others.

  The Super Mario Bros. Movie 2023

  ★★½ Watched 06 Apr 2023

  A movie reverse engineered to work on me. Can’t wait to watch at home so I can pause and see all the references packed into every single frame
