  Castle in the Sky 1986

  ★★ Watched 14 Jan 2025

  Had a hard time with this one. Undeniably beautiful animation here, and yet another testament to Miyazaki’s love of aviation. But the characters and story fell flat for me. The dialogue and voiceovers are among the least impressive of the Ghibli collection.

  Challengers 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 30 Apr 2024

  Best performance of Zendaya’s career to date? A stunning and propulsive film score that somehow verges on camp? Some really amazing sports cinematography, despite the fact that this movie is in no way about tennis? 

  I think it also sneakily says a lot about male identity. Are you more of an Art guy — clean cut, uniqlo outfitted, emotionally available — or more of a Patrick guy — feral, over-confident, hungry. Really enjoyable watch 🤌🏼
