  A Fish in the Bathtub 1998

  ★★½ Watched 25 Feb 2025

  This is an a textbook example of an extinct film sub-genre: A generally endearing movie with a threadbare plot that centers elderly characters.

  Between the Lines 1977

  ★★★ Watched 23 Feb 2025

  It's true; every scrappy publication predominantly staffed by young people has a guy with a cool jacket, someone yearning to quit and write a book, an over-talented and under-resourced photographer, and a dude who sleeps under the office pinball machine.

  Inu-Oh 2021

  ★★★★ Watched 18 May 2022

  Sometimes you write a 14th-century rock opera that's such a banger that the feudal government decides it must be censored.

  A Real Pain 2024

  ★★★ Watched 19 Jan 2025

  Enjoyable enough, but this one felt pretty slight and a bit listless to me until the last 30 minutes or so. Come for Culkin doing what he does best, stay for Eisenberg jamming new Wikifeet fodder into the narrative.
