  sex, lies, and videotape 1989

  ★★★★½ Rewatched 11 Mar 2025

  Wow, this really holds up. This movie feels made for James Spader, and it's really difficult to think of what other actor could have pulled it off nearly as well.

  Poor Things 2023

  ★★★★½ Watched 06 Feb 2024

  A fairy-talesque Künstlerroman, outlandish in an eighteenth-century satire manner. It was a wild and pointed steampunk ride that I also probably should not have shared with my mother-in-law.

  Venom: The Last Dance 2024

  ★★ Watched 05 Mar 2025

  I love this for the movie it really wishes it could be. But there's so much exposition and so many potential sequels to make. Hollywood: please just let Tom Hardy act in whatever and stop the franchise building. Let the stories breathe. Anyway, it was nice to see Hardy out for a spin.
