Bio: My reviews are a collection of the movies I have seen since 2005. The scores I give mean everything and nothing. Mostly nothing. Unfortunately, I don't have the ability to discern the difference between a '75' and '80', so I just pick numbers at random.

My Dinner with Andre (1981) - Rated 17 Jan 2024

This is actually a horror film.

Slam Dunk Ernest (1995) - Rated 17 Jan 2024

I think Prime uploaded the wrong version. The film had no jokes.

The Departed (2006) - Rated 17 Jan 2024

This is a lot of fun, even if I spent the entire film wondering why Jack didn't immediately suspect Leo of being the cop. Every once in a while, Mark Wahlberg gives a great performance, even if he's just playing the same role he always does. And because of that, it is funny that he was the only one who got nominated for an Oscar from this film. Also, I really recommend watching rewatching films you haven't seen in nearly two decades. It's like watching an entirely a new film!

Anatomy of a Fall (2023) - Rated 13 Jan 2024

Another banger from the "Anatomy" series. Really hoping they make it a trilogy. This film is great in the way it is constantly making the audience shift their beliefs, toying with the unknowable of what actually transpired. Truth is such a slippery concept, and it is not as concrete as commonly believed. If it's been a while since you have heard the steelpan from "P.I.M.P." then it may be time to revisit that. Do you think the have an Oscars but for dogs? If so, I think we have a winner.

Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid (1973) - Rated 09 Jan 2024

Made me realize that during Dylan's golden run between 62-76 (although this timeline can be debated), this is the album I have listened to the least. Although, now that I have said that and I am looking at his discography, I didn't realize "Dylan" is considered an album. I apologize, Criticker reader. As for this film, I liked it. This film feels like the type of film that if I rewatched, I may end up loving.

Wrongfully Accused (1998) - Rated 09 Jan 2024

This film reminded me how much of a chokehold Leslie Nielsen had on me in the 90s. If I saw him on the cover, I would rent the film. And, I am pretty sure this is the film I saw the most from his filmography. Which, now being an adult with taste, never feels as good as the Naked Guns. Luckily, this is the type of film where if one or two jokes don't land, there's another five in the next thirty seconds that may make you chuckle.

Please Don't Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain (2023) - Rated 09 Jan 2024

PDD were the first comedy act that made SNL that I followed beforehand. Then I found out two of them are nepo babies, and I had to make a difficult choice to continue finding them funny. I was surprised that they were already going to do a film, mainly because their comedy has been 3-minute comedy sketches confined to their office. But, this is ridiculous and silly, which is mainly what I want out of a comedy.

Dream Scenario (2023) - Rated 09 Jan 2024

I like that the film never tries to explain why he's showing up in everyone's dreams. It's just happening, and that's that. Oddly, Nic Cage in the David Byrne suit is also my fantasy.

Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One (2023) - Rated 09 Jan 2024

The M:I films are entertaining thrill rides while also completely leaving my memory the moment the film ends. Sure, I remember the stunts, but if you ask me to summarize the plot, it'd be a garbled mess. It doesn't help that they cast a lot of forgettable faces. I just watched a 9-minute YouTube video of how they did the stunt, and now I am realizing I could just watch a 160-minute film of Cruise solely doing stunts.

Muriel's Wedding (1994) - Rated 09 Jan 2024

A film so unique in its style and tone, that I can't think of another film to compare. Have to love a film that lulls you into believing it's a comedy, then slowly starts pulling you into the darkness. Toni Collette stars and it is like, "oh, she was always great". Not a surprise, but it's just impressive when someone this young just destroys like this. All the supporting actors are also great. A film that just works in every aspect.
