  Captain America: Brave New World 2025

  ★★★★ Watched 13 Feb 2025

  Are you all just mad at Anthony Mackie‘s quotes or something? Because this movie is way better than the 2.7 stars you’re giving it, and I’m saying that as objectively as possible. I feel it does the Captain America franchise justice.

  My Old Ass 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 05 Oct 2024

  A sweet & pleasant change of pace from
   the roster of otherwise intense films of 2024.

  Note: a near-perfect allegorical sister-movie to “The Substance”.

  Mute 2018

  ★★★½ Watched 22 Feb 2018

  What would have otherwise been a two-star movie is elevated by the five-star performances of Skarsgård, Rudd, and Theroux — with Rudd, in particular, like you’ve never experienced him.

  Once you've waded through rehashed cyberpunk dystopia (for too long a stretch), this trio of characters might reward you by film’s end, and in high Greco-Shakespearean fashion.
