  Searching for Sugar Man 2012

  ★★★★ Watched 27 Nov 2023

  Beautiful, sad yet happy. Gives me confused, reflective feelings on work in my life, and what success means. What’s enough? What’s important? When to stop? Where are the missed opportunities? The way he moves through life with such grace regardless of circumstance is inspirational. 

  Also always great to find a new artist.

  Napoleon 2023

  ★★★★ Watched 24 Nov 2023

  Went in hearing my Twittersphere trashing it saying it portrayed him as salty incel and it had no color. Still went in with decent hopes, and alas those fools were tripping. Homie was rizzing a hole through the stratosphere and deeply in love, both of which were true.

  The Northman 2022

  ★★★★ Watched 27 Apr 2022

  Unfortunately I caused some self-inflicted dissapointment by building up/envisioning it too deeply ahead of time. Fortunately, it was still a great, immersive film that took me to a different point in spacetime. A world where the supernatural is natural, yet reality still dilineated. Simple, utilitarian cinematography gave the world the limelight, doing it's job and never too much. A tight story, without holes, fluff, or distractions. Like the vikings themselves: savage yet groomed, straightforward yet otherworldly.
