Sing Sing 2023
I don’t cry during movies, but I let some sizable teardrops fall when “as himself,” “as himself,” “as himself” played during the credits.
I don’t laugh during movies, but there were a couple of chuckles here and there from the banter between these guys whose performances and quips felt genuine — because they were.
The cinematography won’t win any acclaim, but it accents the hard-hitting dialogue really well. A couple of shots themselves were enough to elicit a few sniffles…

La Haine 1995
Are you gonna keep trying to pull your pants up or are you gonna make the train? Your choice.
What a crazy film that’ll always, always be relevant. The character intros, the cinematography shift to aimless claustrophobia, the yo mama jokes. Instantly an all-time favorite.

The Batman 2022
Struggled with my rating here, but landed on the fiver because this is the best comic movie I can imagine (I usually hate them, so I don’t watch them very much!)

Mickey 17 2025
Plenty o’ fun, but goes off track in the second half. Pattinson, Ruffalo, and Collette all with awesome eclectic performances, while Ackie grounds them with her much more normal and mentally sound Nasha.
Bong’s humor hits for me, it does. This just wasn’t a focused enough 2hr 15m.

Dune: Part Two 2024
Sci-fi just isn’t my genre, but this is as good as it gets. Paul Atreides is a victim of prophetic predetermination and the crushing pressure that follows (especially from Bardem’s Stilgar) until he embraces his identity as Lisan al-Gaib. Once that clicked, it was curtains for the Harkonnens and for the Paul that existed before.
Religious control. Identity crises. Commodification of resources. Big explosions. Florence Pugh.
