  Warfare 2025

  ★★★★ Watched 13 Mar 2025

  Harrowing and extremely effective (and affecting) 

  One sided by design 

  Parsing through how far it falls on the all war movies are pro war movies spectrum

  Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 09 Mar 2025

  Full of brilliant world building and tense action by middle and back third

  But it’s missing a huge act at the end that feels like they ran out of budget? What happened to big standoff between Immortan Joe and Dementus? 

  Bizarre to fast forward from that and shove into credits

  Nosferatu 2024

  ★★ Watched 06 Jan 2025

  Very disappointing. Visually muddled with a couple real clunkers of leading performances

  A Real Pain 2024

  ★★ Watched 27 Dec 2024

  Slight movie: felt myself resisting its charms and disliking the way it dogmatically tried to tell us how to feel about the characters, especially Kieran Culkin. Jesse Eisenberg’s character is painfully recessive in a way that felt dishonest given he wrote the whole thing…idk.
