  Natural Born Killers 1994

  ★★★½ Watched 26 Mar 2025

  A commentary on America’s obsession with violence and killing. Brought to you by… Oliver Stone and Quinten Tarantino? 

  Insane amount of grotesque cut scene visuals, Australian Robert Downey Jr, dusty and excellent soundtrack, 90s Juliette Lewis, clownified Tommy Lee Jones

  This was so fucking over the top and all over the place. A total off-road adventure with a keyed up QT at the wheel. It made me laugh, it made me want to turn it off, but mostly it made me fall in love with Mallory Knox.

  Total joy ride. Loved the Cowboy Junkies love.

  I wonder how many young fellas in 1950 did that “me downloading the coolest character’s personality from a movie over the course of 90 minute” SpongeBob meme thing with Stanley Kowalski. I know I plan on throwing more radios out the window and to voraciously eat cold cuts while talking much more from here on out.

  In the Bedroom 2001

  ★★★★ Watched 24 Mar 2025

  Before you judge me for watching a film starring Marisa Tomei titled In the Bedroom, know that I’ve already judged myself. 

  I went into this knowing very little, despite watching a trailer that I thought reveled far too much, and I was very pleasantly surprised. I was drawn in by the promise of a quaint town in Maine in the 90s (and Marisa Tomei, of course), but I was treated with some inventive and unique cinematography, very strong acting, and…
