  A Real Pain 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 04 Jan 2025 2

  Cannot be overstated what Kieran Culkin’s performance does for this movie.

  Eisenberg’s monologue in the restaurant tests the bounds of show vs tell a bit. Doesn’t quite hit—with interjections of “I shouldn't be saying this” and “Sorry, I’m oversharing” muddying the otherwise emotionally condensed (for max audience appeal) explanation of his cousin’s behavior. Scene had a contrived feel versus more natural signals throughout rest of film.

  Even so, I thought this movie reflected well the sorts of existential pain we may find ourselves burdened with, part and parcel of being human.

  Wonka 2023

  ★★★★ Watched 28 Jan 2024 1

  Did Charlie Kelly write another semi-autobiographical musical?

  Wonka’s illiterate? Coerced into working at an evil laundromat? A little orange man cometh at night?
