  No Other Land 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 09 Feb 2025

  Heartbreaking and absolutely vital documentary about the Israeli military’s barbarism, hope it gets a distribution deal so more people can see it.

  The Birds 1963

  ★★★½ Watched 15 Feb 2025

  Watched this with my cat and she was E N T H R A L L E D.

  Reminded me a bit of that Seinfeld episode where George runs over the pigeons (“We had a deal!”).

  Yacht Rock: A DOCKumentary 2024

  Absolutely roasted our asses, but I really enjoyed this, especially Tom Waits and Lily Tomlin’s chemistry and young Robert Downey Jr.’s goofy fits.

  “Wouldn’t it be a trip if Alex Trebek bought a nude painting of me?”
