  The Brutalist 2024

  ★★★ Watched 02 Mar 2025

  As many others have observed… great nuanced first half ruined by an over the top, sensational second half.

  Presence 2024

  ★★★ Watched 28 Feb 2025

  Entertaining and the gimmick mostly worked but writing wasn’t good enough in the details. Some awful dialogue. Lots of questionable acting. Movie suffers because of the story’s weaknesses.

  City of Tigers 2023

  ★★★½ Watched 19 Nov 2023

  Essentially this is Norway’s The Room. A mix of Hallmark-movie-level cliches mixed with perplexing, wonderfully odd moments. Everything is simultaneously predictable and weird. I loved it!
