  El Mirador 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 20 Mar 2025

  Really good. Particularly considering how low budget and quickly it was shot. 

  Was it a gringo pimping out of dangerous lived experience in a coarse way? Or a breakout opportunity for struggling artists. 

  Almost closer to a documentary that fiction. But with plenty of recursivity a la exit through the gift shop. 

  Some great visual scenes, some very funny moments.

  If you’re from San Diego definitely worth watching

  The Favourite 2018

  ★★★½ Watched 21 Feb 2025

  It was cool and fun but could use some time away from yorgos. 
  I think maybe better than poor things? Themes etc just seemed to hit a bit more

  Challengers 2024

  ★★½ Watched 23 Nov 2024

  Glad that they went for it and it was something a bit new and different. 
  But yeah it didn’t hit for me. The way it was shot mostly was just kind of nauseating. Music felt like that tv show euphoria she was in which also never really hits for me. 
  Was expecting the light coverage of actually tennis. The arc and characters just didn’t really resonate. Maybe another piece of evidence that I don’t understand women or gay men. Maybe doing a bit too much in a way that didn’t really come together.
