  Surprised at how much I disliked this. Really compelling first 35-45 minutes and then totally boring and dumb AF. Shame :-/

  Black Bag 2025

  ★★★½ Watched 15 Mar 2025

  Inclined to give a four. Impeccable suiting, for one. Really fun, really tight, serious enough to not be schlock, but funny enough to not be The Agency. Cate Blanchett is so good, but the whole cast was perfectly cast. First time seeing a movie in the theater (Or maybe at all?!) since January 3rd thanks to my dissertation dominating my life!! Woah but first post dissertation movie was a hit

  EDIT: showed up for the trailers tonight and man, so many terrible movies. 28 Years Later trailer was actually really masterful though imho

  Anora 2024

  ★★ Watched 19 Oct 2024 2

  What can I say? I just didn’t like it. The audience I watched with thought it was too funny; it was funny but it wasn’t that funny. Also, maybe I’m too sensitive but I don’t really find the f-slur a good punchline in this context. And finally, I just don’t think the emotional gut-punch ending coheres with the rest of the film. 🤷‍♂️ it just felt a bit hollow.

  The Taste of Things 2023

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 01 Jan 2025

  I accidentally burst into tears at the end credits. Once again, the anti-Phantom-Thread.
