  Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker 2019

  ★★½ Watched 18 Dec 2019

  Star Wars has always been that one popcorn flick franchise with the potential to be something more. The Last Jedi proved that. Instead, with the overly blunt and chaotic The Rise of Skywalker, it has devolved into something much, much less.

  El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie 2019

  ★★★★ Watched 12 Oct 2019

  "You're lucky. You didn't have to wait your whole life to do something special."

  This is a Breaking Bad extended episode told with the patience of Better Call Saul as well as a more-than-deserved perfect ending for Jesse Pinkman. Also, fuck Todd's creepy ass, man.

  Joni's Promise 2005

  ★★★★½ Rewatched 16 May 2016

  Watching this in 2016, does it hold up?

  The answer is a resounding YES.

  Sure, the jokes and cameos are beginning to feel outdated (especially the Tantowi Yahya cameo, not sure if today's kids would understand the joke--look at me, I'm beginning to sound like a crotchety old man), but the killer soundtrack and on-point actors makes Janji Joni an enormous amount of fun with infinite rewatchability.
