All We Imagine as Light (2024) - Rated 30 Sep 2025
Critics laud this because it can be mistaken for a documentary. But as Hitchcock said: "Making a film means, first of all, to tell a story. That story should never be banal. It must be dramatic and human. What is drama, after all, but life with the dull bits cut out.” This is "India: Just the Dull Bits". Dumped halfway.

Westworld (1973) - Rated 30 Sep 2025
Great concept. Horrible execution. Felt like a bloated "Twilight Zone" episode. Looks like "Predator" stole the heat-vision-foe-can't-see-our-hero final twist from this.

How to Have Sex (2023) - Rated 27 Sep 2025
British party girl wanders aimlessly through party goers in a Greek party town. Critics call it "powerful" and "truth", etc. because there's a sexual assault. But it's just boring, done before and better elsewhere.

10 Things I Hate About You (1999) - Rated 27 Sep 2025
Screech wanted to take Kelly to The BIg Dance, so he helped tutor her for her Big French Test at The Max. Meanwhile, Zack also wanted to take Kelly to The Big Dance, so he paid Slater to take Jessie, because Kelly didn't want to go unless Jessie did. But at The Big Dance, Kelly realized that Zack wasn't the guy for her, and that Screech was the guy who truly cared for her. Jessie got angry when she found out Slater was paid to take her to The Big Dance, but Slater won her over too.

The Lives of Others (2006) - Rated 26 Sep 2025
It was fine, and then a "so what?" ending that rendered the experience completely forgettable. Once again, a documentary on East Berlin would have been much more nourishingly informative.

Rent (2005) - Rated 21 Sep 2025
Never saw the stage show, seems this movie version got panned. I don't know what more could be done as it is a very "stage-y", "let's-all-break-into-song" show.

Boardwalk Empire (2010) - Rated 20 Sep 2025
It's good. Not "Sopranos" good, but enjoyable throughout its run. Enjoyed the final twist to show us that these aren't "loveable rogues", but truly evil.

The Long Walk (2025) - Rated 17 Sep 2025
Walk. Chat. Die. I was mostly just bored.
