La Chimera 2023
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
I went into this really knowing nothing about it which is always the best way. The first 20 - 25 minutes I was starting to feel like maybe the movie wasn't working for me, but something really clicked around the point triangle man and guitar man perform that song about the band of grave robbers, then the montage that followed hooked me. It was pretty masterful the way Rohrwacher planted images in your subconscious early on to have them pay off in a big way at the end. I went with a friend and we were both blindsided by that ending, it really affected us both.

Mickey 17 2025
Went up to Seattle with the fellas to see this one in IMAX. It was definitely worth the trip, Mickey 17 is not only visually absorbing but it’s very cleverly written and hilarious too. Bong Joon Ho continues to deliver one outstanding film after another and working within the system of a big-budget studio production hasn’t seemed to compromise his style. I loved it!

An American Carol 2008
I hate that I hate this, because that's exactly what David Zucker would want. In a way it's critic proof because anybody who says this sucks will be called a bleeding heart liberal.
I admit, a part of the reason I hated it was the politics. But on top of that, it's just a poor comedy. It lacks the inventiveness and sense of fun that Zucker's other films have shown. There's nothing creative or clever here, just obvious attacks, repetitive…Translated from by -
Donald's Dog Laundry 1940
I realized watching this that I have a hard time seeing Disney characters involved in cartoon violence. When Pluto backed up into the start switch for Donald's machine and electrocuted himself, it kind of upset me. Maybe for Pluto specifically it's because he's a little less anthropomorphized than the other characters. The big eyes and overall cuteness of the Disney cast somehow makes the violence feel more sadistic than a Warner Bros cartoon, even though it's a fraction as brutal as a typical Daffy Duck short.
