  Bad Vegan: Fame. Fraud. Fugitives. 2022

  ★½ Watched 20 Apr 2024

  Vegan blondes can be crazy. They let the bleach get to their heads and lose touch with reality. If you give them too much of an illusion of autonomy they’ll start talking about the bpa’s in the atmosphere and health benefits of vaping. It can be very hard to shut them up. A very at risk demographic that needs to be protected. This badly made documentary shows how they can fall into the wrong hands (literally) and be misled and end up arrested. We need to protect these passionate souls. If they go extinct then where else will we get our impressionably malleable skinny girls??

  Harley & Katya 2022

  Watched 16 Apr 2024

  Katya and Harley are both phenomenal. I’m really glad I watched this, if only to introduce myself to their skating. It was fascinating to learn about the funding for professional figure skaters, and perspectives on the same events from board members compared to coaches.

  ★★★★½ Rewatched 10 Mar 2024

  I think it was very clever.  Both times I watched it I was so captivated and enthralled about how brilliant the concept of Barbieland is as a women (eg: women having all the real jobs, no gender based violence/assault of women, women supporting each and not in competition;…

  Godzilla Minus One 2023

  ★★★★ Watched 31 Dec 2023

  This was really fun. I like how the film explored relationships between characters as well as just Godzilla’s relationship with people. The film had a nice message, I just think it was a shame that everyone was trying to hurt Godzilla so much. Godzilla really reminds me of my disabled cat who wreaks havoc at home. The music was also really nice, I especially liked the lower strings parts.
