  Rebel Ridge 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 10 Nov 2024

  Totally forgot to log this from back in Nov '24, but I came across it again and remembered. I really enjoyed this, mostly because of how calmly Aaron Pierre's character went about the business of taking care of business. All that non-lethal violence was quite the thrill, honestly. This one is worth a watch next time you have a bag of popcorn and need something enjoyable to watch.

  Blood Simple 1984

  ★½ Watched 05 Jan 2025

  There’s a lot of very slow walking in this movie, and it’s what I’ll remember the most, sadly.

  Dune: Part Two 2024

  ★★★★★ Watched 02 Mar 2024 2

  This was everything I hoped it would be.  It was a work of art, beautifully realized, from the cinematography, the acting, the script, the pacing, to all of the little things that can be the difference between good and great. This felt like the kind of movie that is meant to be experienced multiple times over and that is certainly what I’ll be doing. 

  I fortunately saw it this first time in an IMAX theater and I highly recommend that…

  Mad Max: Fury Road 2015

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 30 Oct 2022

  What an astonishing film this is. This was my third viewing, and it gets better every time. At the moment you feel like you’ve been pulverized enough by the full throttle action, things slow down for a moment to let you breathe. Then, before you are ready, things kick off again and your face is being melted off. As fantastic and explosive as it is, this movie has heart and I feel that last scene every time.

  I’m going to have to slide this one into my top five of all time.
