  Alien: Covenant 2017

  ★★★½ Watched 19 Aug 2024

  besides the body horror which just keeps getting nastier (complimentary) the other alien hallmarks can get a little repetitive which is why David is so much more interesting. you’ve gotta admire his passion!

  Sexy Beast 2000

  ★★★★ Watched 19 Jun 2024 3

  very well controlled genre subversion that draws out the lingering dread of the “one last job” trope while still being funny. having seen a guy ritchie movie, it’s refreshing how much Gal is annoyed with the banter of the heist guys and just wants to be back with his wife, a dynamic that also easily could’ve seemed corny but Ray Winstone plays with a lot of sincerity. also did not need all the symbolism for the already kinda obvious anxieties…

  My Side Piece Hit the Lotto 2018

  ★★½ Watched 29 Jun 2022 1

  ranking some of the best Dillard (🥰) moments (which of course lose much of their power without Mando TM Allen’s virtuosic performance):
  4) Any time he laughs
  3) “Dillard you know it isn’t your weekend with Chase” “Watch me”
  2) “You know I forgave charles long ago for trying to kill me”
  1) “When I sold the house, she was PISSED”

  Son of the White Mare 1981

  ★★★★★ Watched 30 Dec 2021

  I, for one, absolutely hate it when the Sevenwinged Skullsized Gnome eats all my porridge from my stomach when I specifically asked him not to, causing my brothers Irontemperer and Treeshaker to come home and spank me, thinking I didn’t cook any food
