34% Ted 2 (2015) - Rated 11 Mar 2024
"Sometimes, the movies you need the most in your life, is the one you least expect."
78% The Purple Rose of Cairo (1985) - Rated 10 Mar 2024
"A goofball, funny affair with a couple of beautiful and charming scenes that easily ranks as one of Woody’s best. Love or hate the character, he’s a great writer/director, no doubt about it."
34% Dune: Part Two (2024) - Rated 04 Mar 2024
"Dune's world doesn't excite me. Everything about it feels as strangely lifeless and void as its desolate sandy landscapes. Narrative beats - when they finally do occur after an hour - are haphazardly crammed into the story for perfunctory reasons rather than emotional ones and the new standard for acting seems to be actors looking frowned whilst yelling their dialogue in childlike fashion. I wish Villeneuve would stick to small-scale films because that's where he really shines as a director."
90% News from Home (1977) - Rated 23 Feb 2024
"Happy 3000th ranking to me. More movies should aspire to be as effortlessly simple as News from Home, in many ways a city symphony that cleverly portrays a complex relationship between an estranged daughter and her possessive and manipulative mother. New York street sounds are almost therapeutic in their ambient, minimalist nature, and I’m sure making this film must’ve been therapeutic to Akerman herself, truly one of my modest country’s most fascinating voices."
20% My Dinner with Andre (1981) - Rated 22 Feb 2024
"About as uncinematic as movies get. I honestly felt sorry for the character of Wallace Shawn, who's doing well, has a girlfriend and has a rational look at life in general, as opposed to the cynical Andre who clearly bemoans his failure at life under the guise of some philosophical mumbo jumbo. This movie taught me never to meet up with friends you haven't heard from in years and just stick to the ones you have."
34% Bottoms (2023) - Rated 20 Feb 2024
"They obviously didn't aim for realism and just had fun making an over-the-top high school film that gets by on its contagious energy. That Entourage joke was funny."
34% Out of Sight (1998) - Rated 18 Feb 2024
"A stylistic precursor to a later Soderbergh-Clooney collab, ‘Ocean’s 11’, but the story felt random and meandering and wasn’t particularly compelling. Clooney is having fun with his role, but that’s about it."
34% The Zone of Interest (2023) - Rated 16 Feb 2024
"On the one hand, it relies on the art of omission which I happen to generally like when implemented fittingly but here seems to lessen the effect of the perpetrated horrors by not making certain technical elements - especially the sound design - more impactful, and on the other hand, you’re stuck watching a film about some truly despicable human beings, the combination of which didn’t mix and match too well for me."
57% All of Us Strangers (2023) - Rated 14 Feb 2024
"Does a lot of things right before eventually jumping the shark and the ending didn’t work for me at all, rendering a certain character completely pointless. But the performances are quite nice and I don’t think I’ve ever commended a film for its shot selection, switching between anything from a two-shot to a medium shot to a close-up at exactly the right moment."
34% Poor Things (2023) - Rated 08 Feb 2024
"Did a movie about the blatant power imbalance associated with the BSY trope in which everyone acts like they’re in a SNL skit need to be 2 hours and 20 minutes long? It gets its point across very fast and eventually just indulges in its own perversion so the short answer to that is no. Giving a brave performance these days equals showing your tits, apparently."
