  Flow 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 23 Feb 2025

  Often seems a lot like the cutscenes you get in a video game right before the interactive parts kick in. Similar vibes to Stray. Lovely though! And mysterious, and sad.

  So glad that films like this can still get made and be enjoyed by audiences and awards judges alike.

  Cocaine Bear 2023

  ★★★ Watched 24 Mar 2023

  Very enjoyable until the last 30 minutes, at which point the script, directing, editing and CG completely go to crap. The abrupt drop in quality is a bit of a puzzle, maybe explained in part by Ray Liotta’s death - although apparently he’d finished filming a year before he died.

  Character Actress Margo Martindale is of course the best thing in this movie, which is a forgone conclusion to anybody who’s watched BoJack Horseman. Would’ve liked to see a juicier role for Scott Seiss.

  Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey 1991

  ★★★½ Rewatched 16 Sep 2020

  Stupid fun and a little bit more of a black comedy than the first film (not quite Beetlejuice but on that continuum). I don’t think I’d watched Bogus Journey since it first came out, but it all came flooding back: Station, the creepy Easter Bunny, playing Twister with Death, and the overall weirdness of the entire film.
