  Civil War 2024

  ★★★ Watched 23 Apr 2024 1

  This felt like a travel zombie movie, where the protagonists must stay alive as they drive to their final destination—not knowing what they'll encounter, when they'll get gas, steeling oneself to act in the moment when needed, etc.

  (Except in this case it's taking a war photo, instead of fighting zombies, and rather than a scary movie, it's just a solid action thriller.)

  Black Eagle 1988

  Other reviews complain about the movie's English. My solution: watch A Spanish overdub with family while on a bus in remote parts of Mexico.

  Free Solo 2018

  ★★★★ Watched 13 Oct 2018

  I should have brought chalk to the theater, because my hands were sweating throughout.

  There aren't enough words to describe Honnold's feat, but this movie, with its interviews and vertiginous shots, certainly does its part. Excellent insight into Alex's thinking, and thoroughly enjoyable and thrilling movie.
