I have 0 nostalgia for He-Man. I was a little too young for it. It wasn't bad. I don't think it was necessary to make this movie and it doesn't reach any heights, but it did make me feel some things.

Project Hail Mary (2026) - Rated 19 Jul 2026

Yeah it'd be bolder if it didn't have a Hollywood ending. But I loved that little rock guy. +5 extra points for the rock guy.

Cop Land (1997) - Rated 25 Apr 2026

Similar to High Noon except instead of the threat being external, it is internal. Instead of people rationalizing the very real moral authority of the marshal they mock the disadvantaged social position of the sherrif. Nobody likes facing the music, but some people do it. Those people are heroes. Good movie.

Superman (2025) - Rated 05 Sep 2025

It's ok. For me it's inferior to the 1978 one. It gets a lot right about the character. I don't think it tells an interesting story from the Superman mythos. The hero is the avatar of hope and his position as a moral actor in the face of his power to do otherwise is what makes him compelling. I didn't like recycling parts of the score. I'd rather they do their own thing.
