  Muppet Treasure Island 1996

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 14 Dec 2023 2

  In February 1996 I was in 11th grade and I called up the junior high and pretended to be my dad and said my little brother had a dentist appointment and to send him outside so he could be picked up. I cut class, drove over there in my ‘86 Camry, scooped up my confused little bro, and we went and saw the first showing on the first day of Muppet Treasure Island and all was well in the world.

  Ferris Bueller's Day Off 1986

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 16 Oct 2021 1

  I think it is easy to write off this picture as being toxic cis white boy behavior or a loud embracing of selfish Reganomics, but man, I dunno. All teenagers are the self-centered heroes of their own movies but you can’t blame them cuz none of them asked to be born! They’ve got the rest of their lives to act like adults. Watching Ferris get an entire three block radius of downtown Chicago singing and swinging to Twist and Shout…

  Avanti! 1972

  ★★★★ Watched 15 Mar 2025

  Clive Revill and Juliet Mills really shine in what would otherwise be a creaky romantic comedy. Some serious laughs along with a few winces. 

  Watched on 35mm @ Vidiots Eagle

  Dead Curse 1985

  ★★½ Watched 11 Mar 2025

  A pretty cool boss fight witch ending but a bit of a slog getting there. 

  Watched on 35mm @ the New Beverly as the back half of a double bill with Till Death Do We Scare (which was phenomenal).
