  Pig 2021

  ★★★★ Watched 30 Aug 2021

  Never let it be said that Cage doesn't still have it in him to give a calm and quiet performance and still deliver. Wolff is shaping up to be impressive as well. It's hard to say much about this movie without giving a lot away because it's very rooted in emotion and relationships, so most big plot points won't seem like such unless you're already on the ride. Without giving much away, the scene about the pub is one of…

  Decently creepy, but you know it’s fiction because she uses Bing.

  Juvenile 2020

  ★★½ Watched 23 Mar 2025

  For a movie that’s only 85 minutes there was a lot of dance number stuff and other bits at the beginning that seemed to go nowhere. From what I could tell the dance competition does tie in with one of the two assaults that occurs in the film, but that one was filmed in such a way that I still don’t know what happened, so I can’t be sure. I was a bit bored at first which lead to me…

  Freaky Friday 2003

  ★★★½ Watched 23 Mar 2025

  While it doesn't delve too much into the fallout, it's nice to see a body switching movie where the adult doesn't have a career that can somehow be successfully navigated by a child. Also, it touches on the weirdness in personal relationships better than a lot of the subgenre. Thank god Mark Harmon didn't seem to be moving in until after the wedding. Special shout out to Curtis for nailing this.

  The Invisible Man 2020

  ★★★½ Watched 01 Mar 2020

  Elizabeth Moss is fantastic and manages to sell the whole thing, and considering how much of the movie is her by herself reacting to empty rooms that's no small feat. There are some super tense moments in this, and it's surprisingly light on jump scares for a Blumhouse movie*. My only big issue was the score. It's fine during quiet moments, but when scenes with more action are happening it becomes so loud and bombastic that it would almost be…

  Midnight Cowboy 1969

  ★★★½ Watched 03 Nov 2019

  Voight is so young in this. 75 minutes in I looked up the cast list to see who played Joe, and it was 83 minutes before I believed it was him.  He and Hoffman both bring their A game whether I recognized him or not. 
  The movie itself showcases the gritty New York that they don’t show anymore. While the story focuses on Joe and Rizzo, the city itself is the third lead character. I’ve seen movies that showed these…
