  Sound of Metal 2019

  ★★★½ Watched 04 Jan 2021

  I really enjoyed the core of the story and the acting was great, but I never got hit emotionally in the same way most people did. Not sure what that's about. I had some trouble with the diegesis; I was never clear on how much time had passed. Maybe that was intentional? I don't know. I liked the punk shirts because I am punk.

  6.9/10

  Death, jazz, and Kierkegaard. What else could a kid want in a movie? I liked the movie and it made me cry.

  Sunshine 2007

  ★★★★ Watched 10 Dec 2020

  Top-tier Danny Boyle. It’s thoughtful, scary, and I love that the whole story hinges on human error, someone simply forgetting to do something simple. It gets a little disjointed toward the end, maybe intentionally so, but if you can ignore some dumb logic problems (surviving the vacuum of space by wrapping yourself in foil and closing your eyes) the movie whips ass.

  Certain Women 2016

  ★★★★★ Watched 08 Dec 2020

  Kelly Reichardt is absolutely untouchable at this kind of thing. She’s always had a way of shooting small moments in nature that punches me in the gut, but I think this is her best looking movie by far and the landscape of western Montana obviously doesn’t hurt. 

  6.9/10
