  The Menu 2022

  ★★★★ Watched 22 Mar 2025

  Wow, what a ride. I can’t say I’m entirely satisfied with how everything was resolved, especially that s’more scene, but I can’t deny that I was hooked. That’s largely due to some great performances; Ralph Fiennes commands the room brilliantly, Anya Taylor-Joy is fantastic as our protagonist, and Nicholas Hoult is amazingly grating. I wish we got some answers as far as some character motivations and the logistics of everything, but maybe that lack of answers adds to “the menu”.…

  The Electric State 2025

  ★½ Watched 22 Mar 2025

  Futuristic ass movie and her family got taken out by a damn deer that’s crazy

  This movie didn’t make me feel *anything* and that’s the greatest sin a movie can commit to me. None of the characters were very interesting to me, I wasn’t invested in the stakes and just in general I really didn’t like the look of the movie at all. I think I’m tired of this CGI aesthetic in movies.

  Really quite a wild cast we have…

  Borderlands 2024

  Not quite as horrific as people made it sound just from looking at surface-level reception, but definitely not a good movie.

  First of all, as a Borderlands fan I don't think the plot has ever been something I cared about in any of the games, so from the jump I wouldn't think it would make for a good movie. Then as I watched the movie that was kind of reaffirmed for me, as the plot wasn't very compelling at all…

  Leave the World Behind 2023

  ★★★½ Watched 11 Jan 2024

  What an interesting movie. I think it loses direction a bit at times and obviously the resolution leaves a lot to be desired but overall found it fascinating how it would constantly shift from some more serious, tension-building moments to complete nonsensical moments that turn everything on its head and make it seem like it doesn’t take itself too seriously. It might not be 100% successful at striking this balance but I appreciate it for trying and overall was engaged throughout regardless. You really could never tell what would happen next, and that definitely elevated the experience.
