Star Wars 1977
I like Lightsaber fights in 77' were just two people kind of shuffling around. Vader's skills got rusty overtime.
Star Wars is in such a weird place in our culture. Watching Episode 4 for the first time in 15 years, feels weird. In the past 15 years, "New Star Wars Movie" has no magic or excitement anymore and the entire series has had 40 years of canon removed in favor of the streaming content mill that dominates pop culture today.…

Passing 2021
Sundance 2021 Film #10
Probably not a good sign when a film is described as a "Puzzle Box" and appears incredibly straight forward. If anything it feels like some pieces never fully came together (the subtext of a relationship between Claire and Irene), while other pieces were small and underdeveloped (raising Black youth, racial violence in America, at the times even just race in general). Is it just straight forward? Or has the puzzle failed to show off its pieces?…

Death by Numbers 2024
Sadly, it’s an important topic, as 221 school shootings happened in 2024. But I do wish the documentary had used the gifted speaker Sam Fuentes more. She’s about half the focus of the film, and when she was on screen, it offered a fresh viewpoint on what’s now a common story in America. When she wasn’t, it just felt like every other true crime documentary (not counting the Meshes of the Afternoon sample). The courtroom took up too much time for not really being the soul of the doc.

Incident 2023
If you look up Dillan Halley's data on the CPDP website (a nonprofit journalist-based organization maintains it), Halley filed more "Use of Force" reports than 96% of other officers in the Chicago PD. Data stops after 2023 so I'm hoping he isn't a cop anymore but can't say anything else I'm hoping for because I like my account. This documentary is proof that one bad apple is instantly protected and told constantly that he did nothing wrong by all the…

Piggy 2022
Sundance 2022 Film #26:
I guess this is where my hot take of the festival comes in.
I was bullied for being overweight in middle school and high school. So I was excited for a horror film that dealt with that. But I guess I wanted more than just the theme of bullying and revenge. What I wanted were the characters to have any kind of personality. Sara's one trait is that she is bullied for being overweight. That's basically…

Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion 1997
Its like if the most beautiful person in the world jerked off in front of me for 90 minutes and occasionally said my mom's name.
Pretentious mess of a film with characters who bluntly say character traits and flaws. A movie that so poorly ignores "Show dont tell" but still can't tell anything. Awful in almost every regard. Art is beautiful tho and has some of the most quality drawn scenes in all of anime and animation in general
