  The Boondock Saints 1999

  ★★★★ Watched 16 Mar 2025

  Lacks substance?

  Detective Willem Dafoe, a gay homophobic drag queen, learns the power of friendship and meaning of true justice from two Irish Catholic vigilantes, and you’re saying it lacks substance?

  Sing Sing 2023

  ★★★★½ Watched 12 Mar 2025

  As the late great Jimmy Valvano once said:
  “If you laugh, think, and cry that’s a full day”

  Sing Sing had me do this in 107 minutes.

  ★★ Watched 11 Mar 2025

  Are we done pretending like Mark Ruffalo is a good actor? Buddy almost single-handedly torpedos a film with a lead actor and director whom I adore.

  What a mess, Robby the only thing that makes this watchable.

  Conclave 2024

  ★★½ Watched 24 Feb 2025

  Have a particular distaste for this film as a Catholic. In Conclave, the Cardinals are far more interested in diversity/ambition/corruption than actual doctrine, which I guess you can expect from a Hollywood portrayals of Catholicism. Not to say those aren’t actual traits of humanity, but to not focus on godly men is trite.

  This movie visually looks awesome and I think Ralph Fiennes is fantastic, as always. But even besides my faith, the story is unfocused. It incorporates characters (Sister Agnes) and themes (car bombing) that feel out of place. Would’ve liked Lithgow and Tucci to have more opportunities to shine.
