  Companion 2025

  ★★★½ Watched 13 Mar 2025

  This is not my personal review, but it’s worth mentioning that my wife called this “better than Ex Machina.”

  Court of Gold 2025

  ★★★★ Watched 20 Feb 2025

  Some real great behind the scenes Olympic basketball footage, with KD leading the “off the court” highlight reel. 

  That USA vs. Serbia semi-final game brought out the American patriot in me like never before.

  The Even Stevens Movie 2003

  ★★★ Watched 08 Feb 2020 1

  It’s not one of my favorite Disney channel original movies, but it has young Shia, who had perfected comedic timing by the time he was out of diapers. 

  It’s a travesty that Shia put comedy behind him by the time he finished Even Stevens. He was such a natural born comedic actor and it would have been real interesting to see him continue doing that type of work. That’s not to take away anything from his dramatic roles. I truly believe he is one of the best in that department too.

  Sundance 2022 Film #2

  Feeling self-conscious about the two star rating that I am giving this while watching all of the four and five star reviews roll in from other Sundance audience members.

  I really liked Columbus, but didn't enjoy this one from Koganda as much. It likely says more about me than it does the film. Maybe I'll give it another try when it's released.
