| 24 13% | La leggenda del Titanic (1999) - Rated 13 Apr 2024
"Absolutely fantastic nonsense. The romance is weird as heck, the kids' movie plot is convoluted and full of absurdly over-the-top plot devices, they hijack a real-life tragedy to do something baffling with talking mice and crime sharks, every scene seems to end with a hilarious hard cut at the exact wrong moment, the multiple fakeout deaths, the scene where a mouse kicks a mouse-sized soccer ball into a human and sends him flying down the hall... truly, a remarkable accomplishment."

| 69 54% | Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze (1991) - Rated 06 Apr 2024
"Less of a movie and more of a collection of cool stuff happening, with a mess of a structure, subplots that don't go anywhere, and several characters completely disappearing from the climax. But you know what, it's a *fun* mess! I loved this when I was eight and I enjoyed it today, even with the ridiculous specter of Vanilla Ice hanging over it."

| 92 92% | Asteroid City (2023) - Rated 03 Apr 2024
"I really enjoyed this movie and I have rather a hard time expressing why! Which I think is part of the point! Um... I absolutely love the alien design and animation so deeply. There's so much visual fun and so many good performances. Um... I like it a lot!"

| 14 5% | Exorcist: The Beginning (2004) - Rated 30 Mar 2024
"Somehow both chaotic and boring. There's a lot of gore but it's mostly very fake, the jumpscares don't even make you jump, these shocking scenes barely get a reaction from our main character, they didn't think even a little about the politics of the original movie's "we need Catholics to go down to Africa and drive out the devil" *or* the Holocaust stuff they added, and it all ends in a twist that not only makes absolutely no sense but is also full of very gross implications."

| 57 37% | Star Trek: Generations (1994) - Rated 30 Mar 2024
"Like an extra-long episode of TNG with a bunch of action scenes and Kirk shoved in - but not one of the good episodes. Patrick Stewart and William Shatner do not work together on-screen despite both of them putting in the effort, and the Kirk death scene is famously meh. And B-plots like "Data puts in the emotion chip" and "the Duras sisters are back" are made for the serial format of the show - they're not designed to stand alone this way. I do love the miniature work in the crash scene, tho!"

| 21 10% | Pelle Svanslös i Amerikatt (1985) - Rated 24 Mar 2024
"What an odd film. It goes from "this is nonsense" to "okay, it makes sense but it was wasting my time" to "this is nonsense *and* it wasted my time". The America part is like a fever dream, and then it turns out it *was* a dream, but the part after is also similarly odd in a lot of ways? Also, this is a movie full of racist caricatures based on a book that denounced racism back in the 1940s, so, that sucks. At the least, it's enjoyable as a weird experience - but is still pretty boring overall."

| 26 15% | Deep Blue Sea (1999) - Rated 16 Mar 2024
"Delightful nonsense. This is another movie that's trying so hard to convince you it makes sense and failing gloriously. Its morals are muddled (how dare you cure Alzheimer's??), its characters are over the top, its setpieces aim for impressive and hit goofy, its sharks can swim backwards because of their huge brains, and its pacing is quick enough to really enjoy the spectacle even as you're laughing. (And definitely look up the end credits rap on Genius Lyrics, the annotations are a delight!)"

| 92 92% | Angel Beats! (2010) - Rated 16 Mar 2024
"Angel Beats aims high, not just combining slice of life comedy with action and personal drama, but going beyond to deep spiritual catharsis. It doesn't always go smoothly - after one backstory became over the top tragedy right after broad shenanigans, I was worried. But as the show goes on, it gets its feet on the ground, and shows us silly, colorful, flawed humans healing from life itself, accepting and moving past pain in a wonderfully anime way. By the end, my soul was healed too, just a bit."

| 92 92% | Shadows House (2021) - Rated 15 Mar 2024
"At first, I thought this was "just" a rather gay existential mystery. Then the politics hit, and I realized how radical the statements that it's making about destructive hierarchies are - and how deeply the queerness ties into them. Powerful drama is driven by relationships whose arbitrary boundaries are enforced from above, and we see characters striving against them in their own ways, breaking thru-- or giving in to the ultimate horror of what it means to become an adult in Shadows House."

| 88 86% | Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars (2004) - Rated 11 Mar 2024
"Not as good as some parts of the series, but considering they condensed a planned 22-episode season into the runtime of four, they did a bang-up job. They pull all the big character and plot arcs toward a satisfying ending, and along the way, they pack it with comedy, drama, and adventure (often all three at once); dip into the psychic and conceptual strangeness the series is known for; and unleash the MacGuffin of the series in a climax bigger than anything they'd yet done. I'm super satisfied!"
