  Mission: Impossible III 2006

  ★★★½ Watched 27 Mar 2025

  It really is a shame we can't see Phillip Seymour Hoffman in new films every year. It's a shame we can't share today with him. Thankfully his legacy is a great one, and one we can revisit every single day to be with him. What an actor. What a human being.

  Punch-Drunk Love 2002

  ★★★★ Watched 23 Mar 2025

  It was very food. Never has social awkwardness been portrayed on a film as well as this. Adam Sandler, Emily Watson and PSH, all amazing.

Can’t wait for the new PTA.
