  Sing Street 2016

  ★★★★½ Watched 16 Mar 2025

  Uplifting, simple, and happy-sad.

  Exactly what you wish a teenage, go-for-broke happy ending would be…

  Flow 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 15 Mar 2025

  Amazing animation and some genuine peril.  For a movie with zero dialog it locked me in.  The animals convey real emotions.

  Interesting how the animation of the animals is different than the environments.

  You're Cordially Invited 2025

  ★ Watched 31 Jan 2025

  Given the comedy firepower actors of Ferrell and Witherspoon, this movie is shockingly bad.  Great concept that just fizzled.  It clearly had no thought out ending.  It literally devolves and makes you embarrassed for everyone involved.

  A Complete Unknown 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 02 Feb 2025

  Timmy embodies everything Bob from the mumbling conversations, incessant smoking and gnarly fingernails to the beautiful poetry, defiance, and melody that pours out seemingly from thin air.

  Excellent style of music biopic - narrow it to a short era, include a lot is side characters to supplement (Joan Baez, Pete Seeger and Johnny Cash are equally amazing in the portrayals) and make it obviously idealized and fictionalized.

  Also don’t focus too heavily on where the songs come from or what Bob thinks while creating them.  That’s very Bob in itself to keep that stuff to himself.
