  Mickey 17 2025

  ★★★½ Watched 18 Mar 2025

  rlly fun: patterson rips, ruffalo rips, toni rips. but it really goes nowhere exciting in the 3rd act! the mcguffin of the 'baby return' was wholly unnecessary- it became an extremely cliche'd fetch quest/save humanity by befriending nature/natives ahhh flick right at the landing point of the film which was a little let down. let me watch these characters wrestle with the ethics, man (not capitalism=bad- i meant the double soul, interpersonal thing). not to mention: multiple interesting characters somehow…

  Blow Out 1981

  ★★ Watched 24 Feb 2025

  i must be missing something tho, as the avg score seems much to high for a Blow Up turned b-movie by Palma.

Even a biopic as cookie cutter and surfaced as this one. I miss the feeling of adversity against an audience. The challenge, the retort back at the eye rolling, the aggress. I did understand the roar of the harmonica in the face…
