  Den of Thieves 2: Pantera 2025

  ★★★½ Watched 23 Mar 2025

  At this rate the team will be in space in no time!!
  …I might be finally learning my lesson though—if when pulling the movie-if the run time is the first thing I notice, probably better off not turning it on—because every crack of a can “zero sugar” La Croix or bag of Doritos or bs “no way is that happening” gets noticed. Regardless of that pretty great heist—there is no need for this world to be 2 1/2 hours.

  Adolescence 2025

  ★★★★★ Watched 19 Mar 2025

  When they’re driving from the house to the store in episode 4 I thought to myself, “this world doesn’t deserve this, but here we are witnessing it.”

  Not to be outdone by the moment at the end of ep 2.
  Not the be outdone by the fact this came out of nowhere to crush us all.
  An absolute masterpiece.

  Jurassic World Dominion 2022

  ★★ Watched 09 Jun 2022

  I just imagine the team telling each other, "yeah, but make it MORE complicated."
  Overstuffed with so many side stories that were completely unnecessary while also giving us as close to a Jurassic World: Fast and Furious edition no one ever asked for.

  My bar was just be better than the last hour of Fallen Kingdom and we wind up with this being worst one of them all.

  Jingle Bell Bride 2020

  ★★ Watched 24 Oct 2020 2

  (Reviewing all Hallmark Christmas movies 2020 and will rank them when it's all over...why?! 2020 that's why.)

  1) Happy the season starts with diversity!

  2) The town has no hotels or inns and can't hold visitors, but they have a giant festival?!

  3) Seriously. A friggin backdrop in a crucial scene at the end?! Didn't shut the door? How did this get by so many people?!?!
