  Mickey 17 2025

  ★★★★ Watched 06 Mar 2025

  Really entertaining movie with a great cast; Mickey 17 was worth the wait from writer/producer/director Bong Joon Ho, this is my brand of sci-fi!

  I'm Still Here 2024

  ★★★★ Rewatched 05 Mar 2025

  While set amid the political unrest of modern day Brazil and a military dictatorship, the awfulness of our current political climate in the US makes this movie quite prescient. Equal parts visceral, pensive, intense, heartbreaking while filled with terrific performances all around (specifically Fernanda Torres), I’m Still Here is truly one of the best pictures of 2024.

  Worse than X, which is saying something.

  Challengers 2024

  I hated every second of this movie - terrible/shallow characters, unnecessary and overly convoluted structure, dull, endless (bad) techno music and that’s before we get to the fact that Zendaya just ain’t it. As far as sports films go, this one is about as pedestrian as they get. If you’ve seen the trailer then you’ve seen everything you need to see. The last third is really dumb and undermines what little goodwill there was to find in this movie.
