  Let the Right One In 2008

  ★★★★★ Watched 24 Mar 2025

  A wonderful mixture of tenderness, romance, and horror. Something paradoxical about how this creepy, gruesome story can be so hauntingly beautiful and warm. Loved this

  Election 1999

  ★★★★½ Watched 19 Mar 2025

  About what I expected. Engaging, well crafted. Smart, funny, and sad at times.

  The movie does a great job at making you both hate and understand both protagonists. A surprisingly layered look at expectations, determination, passion, insecurity, and the factors that drive levels of happiness. Lots that you can chew through, which is what I love about a good Payne film.

  Challengers 2024

  ★★½ Watched 08 Jan 2025

  To be honest, not a movie I would watch again. Something about movies centered around infidelity just isn’t a fun moviegoing experience. Yeah, there are some movies you don’t want to watch again that are good - can show you a raw unfiltered look at the world that you don’t want to see but need to see.

  What did I learn from this movie though? The three characters are all shitheads and Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross really know how…
