Sundance 2025 #7
Easily my favorite project to come out of this year’s Sundance film festival. I actually didn’t think I would love this as much as I did but Cooper Raiff crafted something extremely beautiful and complex here. It’s effortlessly funny and the show makes you feel every single human emotion. On the surface it’s just a show about a brother and sister trying to navigate life with past family trauma but it’s so layered and goes so much…
Sundance 2025 Film 6
There’s something so beautiful and yet so tragic about this story being told from the perspective of the kids. When you’re a child, you see the world in such an innocent and wondrous way. But even as a child you can feel the weight of the unrelenting world bare down on you even if you don’t fully understand it. A father just doing what he thinks is best while trying to maintain his kid’s childlike wonder.…
Is it too early to say this will go down as 2025’s most under appreciated movie. I find it interesting that the two movies I watched back to back were a POV style movie. While the other one didn’t work for me, this one really did. Making a “horror” movie, and I use the term horror very loosely here, in the POV of the ghost is so refreshing, unique, bold, risk taking and it all pays off so well for…

It’s so different and I can’t think if it’s ever actually been done before in film. To be fair the bold move is admirable, commendable and seemed to have worked for a lot of people. I wish I was one of them. I so badly wanted to love this movie with everyone…
13 years. 13 years has felt like a lifetime and it’s sad because I never thought I would live to see the day where the sequel to the highest-grossing movie off all time actually comes out. Here it is though in 2022, one of the best years ever for movies. Avatar: The Way Of Water has finally arrived and somehow, even with all the hype accumulated over a decade, it did not disappoint.
I hold the first Avatar in a…
I’m reading the reviews for this movie and a lot of people are really upset about the right wing view points that are so clearly being displayed here. What’s ironic is that they are so upset about about media like this being distributed to the public but as soon as a movie with left wing view points gets a bad review they will say stuff like “you’re bigoted” or “If you’re so offended by it then why even watch it?”…
