  6.5/10 - Trump Ruffalo!
  Simultaneously enjoyable but also poorly paced and messy. Somewhere in here there’s a tight 90 minute dramedy about Pattinson clones but instead half the movie was this out of place alien extinction plot that bored the hell out of my brain. 

  Even though this wasn’t the big splash I was expecting , I would much rather have directors create weird shit like this than sign on to antman 45.

  The Brutalist 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 30 Jan 2025

  8.5/10 - if you have a nicotine addiction avoid  this film because Adrien Brody flicks out a zippo like a badass while he lights a cig every 5 minutes 
  A visually stunning film throughout the entirety of its run time with an impeccable first half (intermission is genius btw), but the second half and more so the conclusion to the film leaves a bit to be desired. 

  Also absolutely despised the pro Zionist narrative. Free Gaza

  Dear Kelly 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 08 Jul 2024

  9/10 - hallelujah.
  This doc touches on a lot of deep subject matter that could take 100 pages for me to dissect all the way from late stage capitalism to modern disinformation pools, but I think at its core this film is about a man’s broken faith, to the point of extreme lunacy directed by a system that doesn’t care at all and in fact profits from it.

  Dear Kelly,

  If you’re reading this just remember some words a wise man once told me. 

  “When in doubt, breathe through your balls”

  The Iron Claw 2023

  ★★★★½ Watched 10 Jan 2024

  9/10 - Though his mind is not for rent
  Don't put him down as arrogant
  His reserve, a quiet defense
  Riding out the day's events
  The river

  As a life long wrestling I’ve had to hear the phrase “yeah but you know it’s fake right?” My entire life. It’s absolutely fucking absurd.

  Do you think people walked out of Moonlight and said “you guys know that was all fake right? There is no real chiron?”

  Do you think people enter…
