A beautifully-crafted ode to a couple of ugly, boring people. The actors have no chemistry and not much charisma, and are usually the least-interesting thing happening in the movie. I honestly couldn't believe they got together at the end, that came out of nowhere for me

Prey (2022) - Rated 11 Sep 2026

Egregious usage of CGI. I wanted to like this movie more but it just kept shooting itself in the foot

Sentimental Value (2025) - Rated 19 Jun 2026

Typical Trier movie experience for me; all the aspects on their own I find theoretically appealing, but the way they're put together just doesn't click for me. Always feels self-conscious, self-serious, trying too hard. Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas is amazing, her final scene is really wonderful. It puts the whole movie in context and almost makes me want to watch it over again

Predator 2 (1990) - Rated 12 Jun 2026

Entertainingly stupid chaos for about an hour, then wears out its welcome and starts to drag. The baffling subway sequence just kills the movie's whole momentum. Danny Glover is cool but he's wrong for the part and he can't carry the movie alone

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) - Rated 28 May 2026

The slower pace and more serious tone exposes the silliness of the plot in an unflattering way. Danny Boyle knows how to make a silly script entertaining. The scope seems more limited, too; everything feels cramped and staged, like all the locations are a short walk from each other. Still worth watching, but doesn't transcend the genre enough for me to really like it

Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie (2026) - Rated 21 May 2026

Pretty funny. Watching it right after my first run through of the show (including web series) it doesn't quite match the energy, though Jay's scene in the tour bus is one of the most uncomfortable things I've ever seen in a movie (compliment)

Little Trouble Girls (2025) - Rated 06 Apr 2026

Interesting setup, really well made and acted. Runs out of ideas in the second half and starts indulging in clichés
