  Sorry, Baby 2025

  ★★★★★ Watched 01 Feb 2025

  I saw some raving reviews of this so I snatched up an online ticket before it sold out. I was kinda scared to watch it because I had my expectations unreasonably high, despite knowing nothing about it.

  Is this going to be my favorite film of 2025? Well as I was watching the final scene, I contemplated just dragging the progress bar back to the beginning and immediately rewatching it. So maybe yes? I couldn't have imagined wanting to rewatch…

  All We Imagine as Light 2024

  ★★★★★ Watched 27 Nov 2024

  One of my favorite movie viewing experiences I have had this year. Samiha and I watched a noon screening at the forum. It was pretty empty there for once. This one doesn’t need a big audience to get deep under your skin though.

  ★★★½ Watched 15 Mar 2025

  Really odd lighting in this one, but thoroughly captivating from the moment it begins. Soderberg is on a roll. I think this could become a cult classic. It has some assuredness about it, just like its main characters.

  God's Country 2022

  ★★★★★ Watched 24 Jan 2022 2

  What does God's Country mean? I think it refers to a white man's arrogance. To the white man, ownership is a double standard. He simultaneously has the right to shoot one who enters his property without permission, and to enter another's property without permission, with no perceived punishment. That has been the basis for the United States of America for centuries. So when this film opens on a slide show of the people the white man took everything away from,…

  Dune 2021

  ★★★★★ Watched 21 Oct 2021

  I think I still need time to collect my thoughts but my first thoughts on this movie are of is size and scope. I read the book "Dune" in mid 2020 and I absolutely loved it. My expectations for this movie were high because of that as well as because well, Villeneuve was directing it.

  My expectations were met and maybe even surpassed. this movie is genuinely epic. It is gorgeous. The palette and score are so intense. I just…
