  A Complete Unknown 2024

  ★★★★★ Watched 08 Mar 2025

  Captures the many story arcs occurring in the same moment of time and how they influenced each other...with Dylan's story being central one. Another take on how, once your "successful", everyone wants you to stay the same.

  Alien: Romulus 2024

  ★★ Watched 23 Jan 2025

  Too predictable to be interesting and how the action proceeds is too nonsensical for me to suspend my disbelief and enjoy. For example, some doors on the space station require the android to unlock while other, identical looking doors, inexplicably, require a set of standard house keys.

  Aftersun 2022

  ★★★★★ Watched 01 Sep 2024

  Still lingering with me, messing with my head. It took me two years to finally watch this, waiting for the right amount of courage and a time interval when my wife and daughters were out of the house. That finally happened today but it turns I needed post-movie time to continue breaking down periodically. Seeing my daughters up and about, and who are about the same age as Sophie, doesn't help with my recovery.

  I don't have anything to add…
