  Longlegs 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 14 Mar 2025

  This has a bit of a The X-Files meets The Silence of the Lambs/Mindhunter vibe. It’s a slow burn but it’s atmospheric and creepy. The way the end credits scroll is done is a nice touch. Looking forward to whatever Oz Perkins does next.

  Mission: Impossible – Fallout 2018

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 13 Mar 2025

  The sixth installment of the franchise builds on the previous films really well and brings the espionage, action scenes, twist & turns, and soundtrack to the next level.

  “So…how is he?”
  “Oh, you know. Same ole Ethan.”

  The Raven 1935

  ★★★ Watched 17 Nov 2023

  Melodrama and madness with a decent third act. Bela Lugosi has the meatier role as a Poe loving sadistic doctor with torture devices in his basement, but Boris Karloff does a fine job as the fugitive that Lugosi's character manipulates.

  Gladiator II 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 06 Mar 2025

  An okay story with lots of spectacular action scenes, a great performance from Denzel Washington, and even more historical inaccuracies. It doesn’t reach the heights of the previous film, but I enjoyed it.
