91 94% Dune: Part Two (2024) - Rated 16 Mar 2024
"This should have been the new Game of Thrones for HBO, then all the intricacies of the Dune universe could be properly adopted. For a movie version though, this is the best adaptation that there can be. Amazing acting and visuals, editing a bit patchy at times but that doesn't change the fact that this is a breathtaking movie."
75 52% Oppenheimer (2023) - Rated 19 Feb 2024
"First 30 minutes or so of the movie still suffers from a heavy dose of Nolan-itis, but this is probably the best movie he made in the past 15 years. I'm hoping that he continues working on films that are based on a book if they are going to produce results like these."
70 30% Trading Places (1983) - Rated 16 Feb 2024
"Certainly is dated, but its heart is in a good place. It's worth watching because it's a classic comedy, not because it'll make you laugh hard especially once the story gets going."
80 70% Anatomy of a Fall (2023) - Rated 13 Feb 2024
"A very good movie that deals with a wide range of feelings and human conditions. How do we grieve, how do we handle simmering resentment, how do we search for truth and how do we know we found it, how do we communicate with each other and the rest of the world? Powerful."
77 59% 22 Jump Street (2014) - Rated 13 Feb 2024
"This is a rare comedy sequel that understands what made the first one fun, doubles down on that and stays away from all the other shit that ruins comedy sequels eventually. It tackles this pretty early on, then you think they overdid the joke but no, they play with it more and more and what we end up with is a movie that's even better than the original."
76 56% 21 Jump Street (2012) - Rated 13 Feb 2024
"Great screen chemistry, good jokes, and a comedy movie that's made peace with the fact that it's just a remake of an old idea and is having fun with it."
72 39% Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. (2023) - Rated 29 Dec 2023
"I wish this movie were adapted a long, long time ago. It is not bad at all, but, like, we've had Eighth Grade, Lady Bird, Booksmart etc. lately and this feels a bit too pedestrian. Again, this book was written in 1970 so not blaming it at all."
83 81% Killers of the Flower Moon (2023) - Rated 29 Dec 2023
"It's a Scorsese movie. You have corruption, banality of evil, strained romantic and fraternal relationships, great cinematography and Robert de Niro. You get what you paid for."
81 74% The Holdovers (2023) - Rated 29 Dec 2023
"A lovely, warm movie with a classic Giamatti character that deals with a not-so-innovative subject matter. Now, that is not necessarily a negative, in fact I'd like to see more movies that deal with grief, regrets, how people might be different that what they seem etc. but it's probably not rewatch-worthy."
59 8% Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde (2003) - Rated 25 Nov 2023
"Doubles down on its antics, but on the way it loses what made the first one coherently silly with an actual point."
