  Opus 2025

  ★½ Watched 18 Mar 2025

  "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all," so the saying goes -- but I have to write something here to enter a contest to win an A24 gift card -- so I'll just say that Ayo Edebiri rules and leave it at that. 🤐

  Mickey 17 2025

  ★★★★ Watched 06 Mar 2025

  A blast of sci-fi satire that lampoons capitalist greed and the nature of mortality in bold and unpredictable ways. Robert Pattinson delivers an unreal physical performance. Mark Ruffalo and Toni Collette are diabolical. Naomi Ackie shines. Director Bong's genius knows no bounds.

  Firestarter 2022

  ½ Watched 16 May 2022

  The original FIRESTARTER is not great but at least it stars Drew Barrymore and is iconic in an '80s sort of way. The new one is ugly, lifeless dreck and possibly one of the worst Stephen King adaptations ever. Not even the retro-synth score from John Carpenter can save it! Ouch.

  Dune: Part Two 2024

  ★★★★★ Watched 03 Mar 2024

  An awe-inspiring experience and a masterclass in storytelling, craftsmanship, and spectacle -- brimming with stunning visuals, performances, and themes that turn the hero's journey upside down. An immersive and damn near perfect cinematic space opera of generational proportions.
