  Prisoners 2013

  Prisoners and Zodiac, Gyllenhall’s Best?!

  Definitely Jackman’s best performance. Haunting and bracing. He really does look totally exhausted when brought face to face with Melissa Leo. 

  Looking forward to Villeneuve’s post Dune filmography.

  War of the Worlds 2005

  ★★★★½ Watched 25 Mar 2025 1

  Wayyyyy better than I remembered. Thrilling, suspenseful and eerily unsettling. Outstanding kid acting from Fanning and a reliable down on his luck Cruise. And yet, that baseball throw looks janky as fuck.

  V/H/S/Beyond 2024

  ★★½ Watched 22 Oct 2024

  While the wrap around didn’t work for me this year, Segal’s and Long’s pieces were quite daring and entertaining. No scares this time around though when other entries have instilled a bit of the heebie jeebies in me. Looking forward to next year’s entry already!
