  The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy 2005

  ★★★ Watched 17 Mar 2025 1

  A pretty good film adaptation of a pretty good book. The material definitely works better in its literary form: the best parts of the movie are all directly from book, with the added bits feeling a bit perfunctory. But the casting is quite good and there are some cinematic flourishes that I enjoyed.

  Black Bag 2025

  ★★★ Watched 16 Mar 2025

  A lot of elements in this that I loved: it’s very beautifully shot, the two leads are unsurprisingly captivating, and that fishing boat is my dream. But it just didn’t fully hang together for me. I can’t complain too much though because this is exactly the type of movie I want ten of every year.

  Gather 2020

  ★★ Watched 15 Mar 2025 3

  Just a super generic, manipulative documentary on a subject I don’t care that much about. Sorry Dr. Chang.

  The Apartment 1960

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 15 Mar 2025 4

  One of the best ever. A movie that perfectly understands what it’s like to be a man. An absolute diamond of a screenplay.
