Back in Action 2025
A garish, silly action movie that prides itself on its b-story of familial life and reconciliation. A myopic journey that comes and goes as easily as any Netflix action spy movie. The mushy CGI of Grey Man, star power of any forgettable 2000s mid-budget flick, and amazingly boring large-scale action set pieces ala modern filmmaking.

Showgirls 1995
Watched in 35mm
I feel that I'm having a similar reaction to my friends when they watched this for the first time. I spent a significant chunk of Showgirls' runtime wondering if it was good or bad. I think that is to its detriment, because the film had no presuppositions about being tasteful, or cleanly constructed, or even good. I only really got this from reading some other reviews, but it seems clear Verhoeven doesn't seem to care if you…
