This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
400 films in 2024, I had to take some time off. I will not be reaching 400 for a while. In the past week I’ve watched 2 full seasons of TV. Fallout and The Penguin. Both really enjoyable in their own ways. Next, I will be starting Shogun. I had to come back to my roots for the first film of the year.
By my roots, I mean I was 13 years old, about to turn 14, when this came out.…
I wanted to make Aliens my 250th watch but, when an opportunity presents itself to see this on your birthday, you take it.

I’d heard about a jump scare and I’d thought “that” was it a couple times. It wasn’t. Shit got me. There were multiple different sequences (no spoilers) that had my mouth open. Bravo.…

I’m sure this joke has been made already, but after Will Smith slapped Chris Rock on Oscars night, they should’ve axed his win and brought in Simon Rex for best actor. What an absolute swine, scumbag, ball of energy, hilarious, piece-of-shit dude! What a performance. What a film from Sean Baker. Yet another one of his movies I thoroughly enjoy.
Really hard to rank these but: Sean Baker Ranked
How on God’s green earth did Jamie Lee Curtis WIN over Stephanie Hsu?!?
I might be the last user on Letterboxd to watch EEAAO. This movie was as advertised to me. Off the wall, an emotional family drama, a strange comedy. It does a surprisingly great job at setting up the world’s rules. I really enjoyed all the performances. Each world gives each actor such free range to do a ton of different things.
Ke Huy Quan. Only in this…
