The Neon Demon (2016) - Rated 16 Nov 2025
Goes from (plot-wise at least) a straightforward "young model tries to make in LA" narrative – minimal dialogue, neon-drenched, with experimental electronic music video editing rhythms, yes, but relatively literal – into a too-little-too-late body horror third act that did not leave me disturbed or disgusted but just kind of going "lmao what?!" The movie does have naked chicks, a noted weakness of mine, but they are all EXTREMELY skinny with no tits and small nipples; not my preferred flavor.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) - Rated 14 Nov 2025
Well it’s sure as hell the best Fantastic Four movie so far, and not by a small margin. Retro future aesthetic, skips the origin story cruft and gets right into it, zippy superpower action, robot sidekick. Bad guy is a kaiju. I’ll overlook Silver Surfer’s rushed, out of nowhere backstory and half assed character arc.

Materialists (2025) - Rated 13 Nov 2025
Odd movie; everyone talks like they’re autistic and it veers erratically from light indie romcom to deadly serious material. Every woman in this movie is openly disgusted by any man under 6 feet, it’s over for short kings. Dakota Johnson’s line readings are dull and sleepy, she has not improved since Fifty Shades. I liked the experimental first 2 minutes that makes you think you clicked wrong movie. My girl straight hated it for what it’s worth lol (I think she expected a more typical romcom).

How to Train Your Dragon (2025) - Rated 10 Nov 2025
On paper as pointless as the endless and increasingly tedious Disney live-action remakes we’ve gotten the last decade, but in comparison this universe’s story, themes, settings, monster designs etc are quite well-suited to make that cartoon to flesh leap. Admittedly I haven’t watched the animated one in like 12-13 years but this seemed accurate as far as I can remember. Plus what can I say I just like fantasy and am always happy to see live action fantasy movies!

Alien: Earth (2025) - Rated 08 Nov 2025
After an intriguing start and some midseason high points the show meanders into a very strange final arc that really seems like the show runners had minimal interest in making an Alien show and used this as a back door to make a Blade Runner with the serial numbers filed off show they really wanted to make. Now granted robot people have always been part of Alien but that aspect has never quite been the central focus as much as here.

Along for the Ride (2022) - Rated 06 Nov 2025
Generic teen romance movie where the introvert studious chick goes to live at a beach house for the summer between high school and college and makes friends and has a summer romance. Not much you haven't seen if you ever watched WB teen dramas back in the day. As a lifelong insomniac I was triggered by the part where she solves her chronic insomnia by just (drumroll)... deciding to go to bed earlier. Wowwee wish I'd though of that at some point in the last 30 years lmao

I Love LA (2025) - Rated 04 Nov 2025
The reviews all compared this to Girls, I guess because it's an HBO series with a female creator/main star, but I don't see it; the main character is a career-minded striver from episode 1, the opposite of Lena Dunham in Girls. It shares way more DNA with Entourage, just with the fratty bro energy swapped out with TikTokker vibes. She has a famous influencer & movie star daughter in her main circle, so it's much closer to Entourage's aspirational LA lifestyle porn than Girls' self-loathing.

Universal Basic Guys (2024) - Rated 03 Nov 2025
I only watched the pilot but it was rough enough to sit through for me. I'm not super into adult animated sitcoms anymore tbh, I tapered off and stopped watching all of them with the sole exception of rebooted King of the Hill
