  Civil War 2024

  ★★ Watched 18 Mar 2025

  I think it works best as a “Civil War is bad” movie. Citizens really enjoying harming other civilians is the most interesting thing the movie has to say. Anything else doesn’t really hit a note. The journalism doesn’t have the juice, the action doesn’t have the juice, the message doesn’t have the juice. Jesse Plemons does have the juice though.

  Back at it again. Still rocks to an absurd degree.

  The Holdovers 2023

  ★★★★½ Watched 04 Dec 2023

  Simple is sometimes the best. Cozy movie that I will certainly watch again this Christmas season. It starts strong and only gets stronger. Giamatti’s arc is handled perfectly and all the cast just bounces off each other so well.
