  Dead Presidents 1995

  ★★★½ Watched 19 Feb 2025

  I’ve had this on my to watch list ever since I was a kid wandering around Blockbuster. The poster always stuck with me. And, I gotta say, I did not know this was mostly a Vietnam story! Amazing cast, but something felt a little absent from the emotional core of the movie. Not sure exactly what, but solidly enjoyable nonetheless

  Mad God 2021

  ★★★★★ Watched 27 Jul 2022

  Did I know that I needed a dystopian science fiction in claymation crafted on-and-off over 30 years by one of the top visual effects artists ever? No. Do I now think this is the only type of movie that should be allowed to be made? Yes.

  Mad God might be the grossest, weirdest movie I have ever seen, but it’s truly the work of a visionary lunatic. It’s the hallucinatory fever dream of David Lynch and Wes Anderson. It’s the 21st-century version of a Hieronymous Bosch painting—completely out of step with nearly all of its contemporaries, meticulously detailed, horrifically brutal, and a fucking masterpiece.

  Akira 1988

  ★★★★★ Watched 10 Jul 2020

  The cityscapes alone make this movie amazing, but its prescient themes and outsized influence make Akira not only one if the greatest anime’s of all time, but one of the greatest films period. Revisiting it is always a pleasure!
