  Field of Dreams 1989

  ★★★★ Watched 18 Mar 2023

  It's tempting just to buy a farm and hope that something like this happens to me one day. If Kevin Costner was 36 in this movie, that gives me about ten years to set everything up. That's enough time to ensure I avoid the financial troubles they had to go through. I'm curious if I would have to build a football pitch since I'm in Europe. But then what's the Iowa of Europe? ChatGBT suggests the Po Valley in Italy.…

  They Live 1988

  ★★★★ Watched 10 Oct 2023

  Is anyone aware of why the old man, who reported on the violence epidemic that the Justiceville drifter mentions, is said to be from San Anselmo? The small size of the place makes it seem like more than just a coincidence. Initially, I considered that the author might have been from San Anselmo, and this was a subtle nod to his origins.

At the end, he…

  ★★ Watched 20 Mar 2025

  What a nice touch to have the criminals drink Cîroc Vodka. Did they already know about Diddy while filming? Were they trying to tell us something?

  The Batman 2022

  ★★★★ Watched 08 Mar 2022

  At times it feels like the perfect adaptation of the franchise, but at other times it just feels like it's missing something. Maybe it was the finale that let me down in the end. Comparing it to the "Dark Knight Trilogy", these movies usually inspired the viewer in the end and made you want to see more. This wasn't the case for me after watching this movie and maybe that just has to do with the nature of it being…

  Mickey 17 2025

  ★★★ Watched 07 Mar 2025

  Oh I think get it now – it’s about coming together in the face of people like Trump, despite how different we are, because in the end it should be obvious to all of us that he’s irredeemably just a bad person and a buffoon… Right?
