Bio: I was a normal, albeit introverted kid until I saw 2001: A Space Odyssey. That set me on a dark journey from which there was no return. Now I can only feel joy by watching 3 hour long Taiwanese dramas.

My ratings are purely based on personal enjoyment and I update and change them pretty liberally, so it's not super exact. Generally if something is over 75 I think it's a certified banger, 75 to 50 is anything from very good to average, and anything below 50 ranges from below average to terrible. If you want to argue with me and call me a moron feel free to do so.

Hit Man (2024) - Rated 09 Jun 2024

Every costume change Powell does to take on a different hitman persona had me cackling. Great performances, great chemistry, and in a Linklater film that goes down so smooth that you almost forget that the themes and the characters have a dark undercurrent that adds some complexity to the fun and breezy proceedings.

Superman (2025) - Rated 19 Jul 2025

Hey! This Superman smiles! I didn't know that was allowed. Gunn's Superman turns the comic book up to 11 and the emphasis on valuing life, justice, kindness, hope, and helping others above all other considerations has returned in full force. The film posits, successfully IMO, that those sentiments have become subversive and so seeing that portrayed with frankly overbearing abandon was nice. Seeing a superhero movie about a guy who tries his hardest to be good was nice.

Rebel Ridge (2024) - Rated 11 Sep 2024

The film is restrained in several interesting ways while still giving you the violent comeuppance you want to see from a film with corrupt cops. Also, imagining this film with John Boyega instead of Aaron Pierre is impossible. Put Pierre in all the action movies, thank you.

One Battle After Another (2025) - Rated 26 Sep 2025

Hilarious, full of great performances, looks incredible, and is interested in a whole mess of themes that will take my brain a while to unscramble. Also, do I detect a hint of Dr. Strangelove? I've only read and listened to a couple discussions of the film and haven't seen it brought up yet.

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024) - Rated 14 Sep 2024

Now this is the kind of dumb bullshit I can get behind. Instead of having completely awful character arcs for the puny humans, we have long stretches of the kaiju in essentially a silent film where we rely on their expressions and movement to tell the story. Then they fight and engage in hilarious WWE style shenanigans. The film knows what it is and revels in its complete unseriousness, which is much better than I can say for the last two Monsterverse films.

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) - Rated 03 Jun 2024

A little bit less visually compelling, a little bit less visceral, a little bit less clear in its stakes, and a lot less tightly constructed than Fury Road, which at this point has settled into its status as one of the greatest action films of all time. Some of those things aren't necessarily negative, but some of them are, especially in a follow up to something as iconic as Fury Road. To its credit, it is just as sneakily interesting in its themes, and the performances are all great.

Sinners (2025) - Rated 04 May 2025

Thematically dense, exciting, original crowd-pleasers that take big directorial swings are sorely lacking in the film landscape; but here comes Coogler to deliver that exact thing to remind us that we need to have more of these and less Bond tv shows on Amazon or whatever the hell they're doing over there.
