  The Player 1992

  ★★★★½ Watched 26 Mar 2025

  Another banger, oddly in conversation with 8 1/2. Keep the meta coming, and a good dose of dark humor.

  Magnolia 1999

  Hard to put into words what a transcendent experience this was. Never boring for the entirety. Few movies can do that, especially on a first watch.

  Amazing acting and, my favorite, character arcs. So much to think about. So much Aimee Mann to listen to. Seriously can’t wait to watch this again.

  The Banshees of Inisherin 2022

  ★★★★½ Watched 03 Nov 2022

  So good. The motivations and internal conflicts of the characters are interesting and relatable. The acting is top notch. The story was better than expected. Great jokes (although our seven person theater was silent other than us. My theory is that they just don’t get Irish humor).

  All that with a quintessential Irish landscape. Moody low lying clouds. Rock walls and impossibly green hills for days. 🥰

  One of my favorites of the year.
