  Now You See Me 2013

  ★★★★ Watched 08 Mar 2025

  Now You See Me is ridiculous and utterly nonsensical... and I loved it! The whimsical absurdity of "close up magicians doing Mission Impossible heists" as a premise is delightful. I especially loved how fucking goofy every heist was. Of couse the nerdiest of theatre kids (magicians) would be so kooky when robbing millions. And praise be to Mark Ruffalo who understood the assignment and delivered the most camp 'curmudgeonly FBI agent who hates magicians' performance of all time.

  Any movie that leaves me AND my mom gaffawing at insane, completely unforeshadowed twists is a win for me.

  Sing Sing 2023

  ★★★★★ Watched 15 Feb 2025

  I spent the last 45 minutes of this movie sobbing so violently I gave myself a migraine. 10/10 would recommend. Bring tissues.

  Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse 2018

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 14 Jan 2022

  Sorry to No Way Home, but this is the vastly superior multi-verse spidey movie.

  It's absolutely unreal how fucking perfect this movie is.

  Anatomy of a Fall 2023

  ★★★★½ Watched 10 Mar 2024

  Anatomy of a Fall gripped me by the throat and didn't let go for 150 minutes. On paper it's such a simple story but its characters are so well realized and the narrative so compelling because of it. Sandra Huller and especially Milo Machado-Graner delivered such powerful performances that seared into me.

  Just a stunning film.
