  Mickey 17 2025

  ★★½ Watched 06 Mar 2025

  was hyped but this never really got going for me. maybe i’ll like it better on a rewatch. my first impression: oddly lethargic, visually uninteresting. rpatz wierd voice & naomi ackie go a long way tho.

  Anora 2024

  ★★★½ Rewatched 23 Dec 2024

  well i have soured on this somewhat. i think the characterization of anora is a real problem and the movie really struggles to treat her as something other than a colorful ornament. still, it’s got a great look to it, great performances: mikey excellent, mark beast mode. when igor first popped up i turned to my dad to say “here comes a special boy!” . she’s got like 5 lines but i would still pay good money for a cut of this without ivy wolk

  Legend 1985

  ★★★★ Watched 21 Jan 2025

  heard the theatrical cut was bad and the director’s cut was good, but i couldn’t find the director’s cut anywhere so i watched the og. i thought this was really great? serious pacing issues, of course, but god forbid one be enchanted by the splendor of it all. maybe i’m just sincerity starved but i had the best time
