  Princess Mononoke 1997

  ★★★★½ Watched 18 Mar 2025

  It’s exceptionally rude to hunt down a forest god whose death will destroy the land for all the large boars, wolves, and dimwit humans, imo.

  Better Man 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 15 Mar 2025

  A manic depressive monkey uses his competitive nature and narcissism to become the biggest pop star in Britain.

  2 musicals and 1 biopic were best picture nominees and none of them were this. Insane world we live in.

  A Complete Unknown 2024

  ★★½ Watched 25 Dec 2024 4

  Elle Fanning stares sadly at Timmy while he karaokes his way through Dylan’s 60s hits in the “Rainy Day in New York” reunion everyone’s been itching for.

  Dan Fogler is the worst working actor in Hollywood.

  Asteroid City 2023

  ★★★★ Watched 16 Jun 2023

  Feels like he’s exploring something other than “goofballs in a foreign land” for the first time since Grand Budapest. Certainly one of, if not his most, poignant film. His whole asthetic feels more earned in this one, or maybe at least more properly in place. Really enjoyed it, but I’d have cast Natalie Portman or someone with more obvious sadness than ScarJo (who is still very good, so it’s really a minor gripe).
