Heretic (2024) - Rated 22 Jun 2025
"Great performances. I think Chloe East often lacked in terms of vocal performance/authenticity, and she was hamming up the mormon shtick too much in the beginning. But the movie looks and feels genuinely cinematic. Which is pretty rare nowadays. I wasn't ever terrified really. More intrigued. Regarding where it would go next. Though the ending...yeah, again, don't know what that was supposed to be. It's like the antithesis of tying things together."
Love Liza (2002) - Rated 22 Jun 2025
Yes, Madam (1985) - Rated 22 Jun 2025
Alien: Romulus (2024) - Rated 22 Jun 2025
"Gen-Z Prometheus. I could go into detail, but all it would boil down to is that i found most things in this movie very annoying. Especially David Jjonssons dumb acting and the dumb face he was making the whole time. And generally the characters being really dumb all the time. The long dude at the end was legitimately scary, though and that part actually worked as a setpiece. And, it wasnt too little too late exactly, but it wasnt a lot and it was very late."
Companion (2025) - Rated 22 Jun 2025
"It's like watching someone make a bad cake out of a great recipe. The concept seems cool on paper, but most of what you need to make it work this movie lacks. Rendering the metaphors lame, the humor way undercooked, the tone inconsistent. It basically does everything Ex Machina already did, but a lot worse. Tries to be mostly a black screwball/comedy/farce, but then expects you to take the most undercooked attempts at sincerity seriously."
¡Casa Bonita Mi Amor! (2024) - Rated 14 Jun 2025
Joker: Folie à Deux (2024) - Rated 14 Jun 2025
"So both of these movies were just a waste of time then? That's not how you do a misdirect. "You thought this punchline was coming, but instead there's just none and turns out I wasn't even telling a joke, this was all nonsense, goodbye!" And DC seriously put this out? As canon? They made two movies about a guy who isn't the Joker? What's next, Not Batman v Not Superman? This doesn't make any sense. For anyone. For whichever reason you enjoyed the first movie this is purposefully disappointing."
Hypnotic (2023) - Rated 14 Jun 2025
"Fun movie. Great cast. Scanners meets the fury meets inception meets interstellar a little meets Robert Rodriguez. With some Carpenter flavor. Wouldn't have minded this to be little bit longer and slower paced."
Top Gun: Maverick (2022) - Rated 14 Jun 2025
"Shame I didn't see this in theaters. I so wanted to clap once the credits started rolling. And again when it said dedicated to Tony Scott. It's stuffed with all kinds of arcs and dynamics. Kudos Kosinski for distilling it down so well to 2 hours. This must be Jennifer Connelly's best performance ever. I've never seen anyone match Tom Cruise in Cruisiness this much. Them together was my favorite thing about the movie. Incredible acting, chemistry and presence. Great ensemble cast and music, too."
The Gorge (2025) - Rated 12 Jun 2025
"This may be my favorite ATJ performance to date. What I can say for both this and Fountain of Youth (apple+) is that I would have liked to like them more. They're both better on paper than in practice. Both have all the ingredients I like, especially when it comes to actors, but there's some immsersive factor that's missing on both. Don't know if one can attribute this to some ominous "made for streaming instead for the big screen" factor, but if had to have a working theory, that'd be it."
