  Black Bag 2025

  ★★★★★ Watched 15 Mar 2025

  Loved it. Exactly what you want from a March adult-oriented release. Fun performances, twisty plot, light and breezy and witty as hell. Go and see it.

  Avengers: Endgame 2019

  ½ Watched 26 Apr 2019 12

  (Note: I don’t use Letterboxd as a forum for professional reviews. It’s a place to air my personal snap reaction. To hear me discuss my issues with this movie more analytically, click here.)

  
  This movie is a poisonous, pandering, infantilizing nightmare that people will eat up because it gives the illusion of depth and feeling while offering easy answers and quick solutions. Its writers are either insidiously callous or tremendously ignorant. I pray that anyone effected by this film never experiences any real pain. They’ll snap under the weight of it.

  Call Me by Your Name 2017

  ★★ Watched 06 Jan 2018 3

  The only way I really could have gotten over the morally questionable age difference between the two leads would be for their passion to seem strong enough to overtake reason. Sadly, they have the chemistry of two blocks of wood. The story drags, and the moments of catharsis and truth seemingly come from out of nowhere.
