  I Saw the TV Glow 2024

  ½ Watched 20 Sep 2024

  Whack. I don’t get it and I don’t want to. They MIGHT be on to something but they are trying too hard to be different. Making movies is not for everyone. Somebody at A24 needs to lose their job.

  Civil War 2024

  ★★½ Watched 15 Sep 2024

  Surprisingly boring for a movie about civil war. While the final sequence delivered in epic fashion, Civil War is a dystopian road trip movie and not much else.

  Longlegs 2024

  ★★★ Watched 21 Aug 2024

  Longlegs drew me in with the Silence of the Lambs misdirection and suspenseful cinematography, but disappointed when I realized where the climax was headed. I understand Perkins’ intention to paint serial killers as twisted outcasts, so I forgive Nicolas Cage for his performance. But still…what did I watch? I left the theatre ready to go to church.

  You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah 2023

  ★★★½ Watched 12 Jan 2024

  Surprisingly enjoyable family flick. All the drama you would expect of a middle school movie with the immature laughs you hope for from Adam Sandler. Nepotism isn’t always bad. On that note, I hope to never see the older sister act again.
