  Boogie Nights 1997

  ★★★★½ Rewatched 24 Jan 2022

  An epic in every sense of the word.

  Love the idea of acting for the characters.

  Dirk, in his "documentary", claims that he's just "acting" when he's Brock Landers. He's not actually that violent, abusive person.

  But Dirk is just an act. Eddie is acting out a rock star persona he's always dreamed of, as you can tell from his bedroom walls.

  Buck is trying on multiple personas and characters throughout the film (not talking about his porn work obviously).…

  Over the Top 1987

  ★★½ Rewatched 22 Aug 2021 2

  Where to start

  - Lincoln Hawk (real name) is a truck driver that goes around truck stop bars and arm wrestles around the country
  - the movie has songs from: Eddie Money, Sammy Hagar, Asia, Kenny Loggins, and...Frank Stallone. Unrivaled.
  - Hawks son is such a twat. I realize this is 80% divorce movie, 15% arm wrestling movie, and 5% baseball cap ad. But seriously, this kid has no business being in so much of the film.
  - Of course…

  High Noon 1952

  ★★★½ Watched 25 Mar 2025

  Some thoughts 

  - Was waiting for Lloyd Bridges to save the hero like Glen Powell in TGM. Nope, just a punkass. 
  - those 4 outlaws gotta be the worst of the 50s. Outdone by one old timer. They’re blindly running into barns, allowing hostages to escape like they’re greased up monkeys. Dreadful performance 
  - Grace Kelly are you forreal right now
  - the kids jovially running out of church when the adults are having a serious convo slayed me. Reminded…

  Sleepover 2004

  ★★ Rewatched 23 Mar 2025

  Apparently I watched this with my partner (one of her favorites growing up) in 2021. Literally no memory of it. Was about to write the same exact review from 4 years ago.

  It's no House of Gucci, but then again, what is?

  Alien: Romulus 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 01 Sep 2024

  Spaeny in two of my favorite flicks this year. Praise the lord.

  Flat out a great horror experience. I liked the comparison to a "Haunted house" flick. I was filled with terror, left in awe at some visuals (Dat long baby boy), and rooting hard for two characters.

  It's horror with a heart. Now, as an "Alien" movie. I dunno. Wrong person to ask, as I'm a casual fan of the franchise. Only one fan service thing that was, frankly…
