  ★★★★ Watched 30 Mar 2025

  I just love those stories, like ‘The Manchurian Candidate,’ that are simultaneously timeless and of their time.

  Obi-Wan Kenobi 2022

  ★★½ Watched 23 Jun 2022

  This six episode structure that Disney has been doing for the shows of its major franchises is just not working. It can be done well, but the storytelling in Disney+ shows like Obi-Wan Kenobi and Hawkeye isn’t concise like the length of its season. 

  Shows like these may have faired better if they were movies.

  A League of Their Own 1992

  ★★★★ Watched 26 Apr 2022

  Tom Hanks chucks a baseball glove at an annoying kid. 

  Cinematic perfection!
