    Solid Clint Eastwood movie. Great plane movie.

    The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

    ★★★★★

    This movie is straight perfection, but everyone already knows that. The deliveries of “I am no man,” “I can’t carry it for you, but I can carry you,” and “My friends, you bow to no one” still hit me on a primal level.

    If anyone needs me, I’m about to go grade my students’ finals with the intensity and determination of Aragorn leading the men of Rohan and Gondor into battle.

    Best movie of 2024 is the best rewatch of 2025 so far. The “One Less Lonely Girl” sequence is one of my favorite movie moments in recent memory, and Maisy Stella is a goddamn star. Amazon, can you please release this on physical media? I’ll buy two dozen copies and gift them to students and friends; just don’t want to have to rely on streaming to watch this absolute gem of a movie.

    ★★★★★

    If ‘Inside Out 2’ doesn’t quite reach the heights of the original, it comes incredibly close. Such a treasure of an animated film: clever, inventive, funny, and thoughtful. And of course, it packs an emotional wallop (yes, I teared up multiple times) while conveying a key lesson to its younger viewers and an important and much needed reminder to this older, 32-year-old audience member: we have value and deserve love and acceptance, even when (and especially when) we are struggling. God, I love Pixar, and I loved this movie very much.
