  Mickey 17 2025

  ★★★★ Watched 08 Mar 2025

  Mickey 17 and 18 are the two sides of the American (or substitute country) working and middle class. Instead of picking each other apart, they must unite to take out the person who has pitted them against each other to begin with, the oligarchs and fascists.

  Timely, fun, and a different flavor from the usual Bong Joon Ho flick.

  Black Box Diaries 2024

  ★★★★★ Watched 24 Feb 2025

  A doorman was willing to testify and lose his employment for Shiori Ito.

  A police officer was unwilling to do the same thing.

  This film will break and build you up and break you again. It’s essential documentary cinema and Shiori Ito is so brave for telling her own story unflinchingly and unapologetically.

  Heretic 2024

  ★★★★★ Watched 07 Nov 2024

  Wait…a Latter-day Saint can be a nuanced character in a film?

  I’m Mormon and I think everyone should see this movie. Never has a film made by a major studio with no church involvement depicted LDS missionaries in such a human way. 

  Grant gives the most incredible performance but he is matched by the heroes who likewise deliver powerful performances. And this film is probably the most beautiful and touching horror film I’ve ever seen.
