  I haven't been this angry at a movie in a minute.

  Becoming Led Zeppelin 2025

  Watched 10 Feb 2025

  I loved this so much. Love how many full song performances there were. Love that it didn’t go all the way through their discography (no Stairway). Love that it was ALL about the music - not a moment spent on drama or “dirt.” More music docs should be this.

  Riddle of Fire 2023

  ★★★★★ Watched 24 Sep 2023

  Maybe the greatest kid movie I’ve ever seen. Seriously. It’s giving GOONIES, it’s giving ADVENTURES IN BABYSITTING, it’s giving MY GIRL, it’s giving mystical eldritch adventure quest. Best ever use of the (wait for it) CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST theme.

  Kitchen staff at Alamo served us blueberry pie for the relevant scene.

  What. The. Shit.

  I'd heard people talk about this movie and how disturbing and wrong it is, but nothing could have prepared me for how upsetting this movie was. It's like someone made a list of things so horrifying and inappropriate they should never be put on film and then said "that's it, that's our script."

  Double-featured this with ALIEN so I'd have something relatively calm and soothing to chase it with.
