  Not bad, but a good hour longer than it probably needed to be.

  The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas 1982

  ★★★★ Watched 08 Oct 2024 1

  Over a week into October and I haven’t watched a single horror movie; instead, I’m watching Burt Reynolds and Dolly Parton prancing about singing about a brothel… I regret nothing.

  Liar Liar 1997

  ★★★★ Watched 12 Sep 2021

  Jim Carrey at his absolute best. He thoroughly entertains himself, and his joyousness is contagious.

  The Forgotten Battle 2020

  ★★½ Watched 19 Oct 2021 4

  There are brilliant elements to this film, but each is pieced together so incompetently that it fails to tell a coherent story. There are simply too many characters that we are asked to care for, and where I understand that the filmmakers were attempting to show the different perspectives of the giant clusterfuck that was World War II, the synthesis of the stories wasn’t great, and some did not land how they were clearly intended to. It’s never really sure if it wants to be brutally realistic or melodramatically sentimental, and this creates a jarring discrepancy in tone, emotion and ultimate impact.
