  The Florida Project 2017

  ★★½ Watched 22 Mar 2025

  I used to be the biggest fan of this movie. I even showed it to my students my second year of teaching without obtaining Rated R permission slips and totally deviating from the lesson plan. Upon rewatch, I actually think it is one of Baker’s worst - a little corny, a little too poverty-porn, a little too much like a soda that has fizzled out. The kids are fucking annoying too lol

  Tangerine 2015

  ★★★★ Watched 14 Mar 2025

  I first saw this distractedly in Nashville at a shitty AirBnB while processing Phil’s death on the eve of his funeral in 2022. I definitely wasn’t in the right headspace to appreciate the humanity of this movie, and its transcendent conclusion.

  Gladiator II 2024

  ★½ Watched 23 Nov 2024

  Is this what all sequels are like? Messy expositions with such a convoluted plot that tries its very hardest to connect with the first movie and original IP? Wack! Movie tells but does not show…
