| 60 40% | Days of Thunder (1990) - Rated 14 Nov 2024
"The holy triumvirate of thrills, chills and spills (Simpson-Bruckheimer-Scott) and the Cruiser? How did we not cross paths sooner? This is like a test run for rad things to come. These guys pushed the limit, put the pedal to the metal every time and crossed the finish line with gusto and aplomb. It’s a chalk plot, expected, but Scott as always revs shit to triple digits. he managed to make car racing exciting. it’s no surprise that simpsons heart exploded - so did mine. It exploded with love"

| 98 97% | Midnight Run (1988) - Rated 14 Nov 2024
"I love Charles Grodin. I love falling down letterman-carson-grodin holes and never hitting the bottom. It’s like with norm macdonald, I watch one old clip of him on conan razzing carrot top and you can kiss my next three hours goodbye reliving norm’s best. I hope people do the same from grodin too. Obviously this is his show but Bob more than keeps up. They put all my favorite shit together and lo and behold it’s my favorite shit. riggs and murtaugh go north by northwest via planes trains etc"

| 30 23% | Like A Dragon: Yakuza (2024) - Rated 14 Nov 2024
"A subpar, odorless forgettable Yakuza story that never takes advantage of the great series of games it’s adapting. There’s nothing clever, memorable or fun. Where’s the goddamn action? They should have focused on one era and fleshed it out instead of bopping back to the past and present. I had no expectations and they were met. I never thought I’d look back fondly at the mediocre Miike version but here we are. just play the games like I do when I’m not busy with paperwork or kids (raising them)."

| 78 62% | The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial (2023) - Rated 02 Nov 2024
"Friedkin’s final effort is a relentless and taut courtroom drama that allows the actors their stage. No frills or faff. The film hands out its justice evenly. The star of the show is Sutherland’s Queeg who isn’t nearly as deranged as Bogart but is just a sad man out of his depth desperately trying to hold onto the one thing in his life that makes sense. The final scene is a fitting gut punch - expertly played by Jason Clarke - for those looking for a silver lining. A great last hurrah from WM."

| 90 85% | Terriers (2010) - Rated 29 Oct 2024
"I’ve got a mild case of Terriers brain right now. It lasts about a month after I rewatch Terriers where I’ll only think about Terriers and feel outraged that other shows aren’t Terriers (shit like Sopranos or The Wire). Every conversation will start with hey have you seen Terriers? Or you should watch Terriers. Always followed by a quizzical look. It’s not about actual terriers. I tell them there’s only one season and then I remember there’s only one season and am stricken with inescapable dread"

| 20 19% | The Fall Guy (2024) - Rated 07 Sep 2024
"It took me three viewings to fully navigate this turd. I eventually managed to emerge, scathed and broken, from its unbearably grating crevices but sadly was cut down to the bone by the bombardment of charmless humor from its joyless crenellations. There’s no authentic moments, fun, or creativity. Gosling and Blunt barely look human. It’s dull and loud and tiresome at every conceivable turn but I’d let that slide if was at least occasionally watchable. A festival of genuine awful. Not a fan."

| 77 60% | In the Line of Fire (1993) - Rated 30 Aug 2024
"Lotta sexual tension here between two lonely older sexy used up men. Rendezvous with asses, Malkovich sucking off Clint’s gun, pissing on graves, shouty passionate intimate phone conversations, auto erotic asphyxiation, dress up, longingly watching Clint play piano, including Clint in his plan in the first place giving him a chance to redeem himself. Malkovich finally gets to “shoot” Clint and he’s wearing protection. what a bitch. then off with that rene russo character he goes. filme fun."

| 50 34% | Witness (1985) - Rated 07 Aug 2024
"I’ve ingested so much of this film from various strands of the cinematic tapestry that I’d already seen the film before I actually sat down and watched it. Everything in it was familiar despite this being my first viewing. I would have undoubtedly experienced something completely different had I seen on opening weekend in 85, something that would be impossible to feel now. I was whelmed and content and wholly unmoved but I can’t blame the film."

| 40 28% | Twister (1996) - Rated 09 Jul 2024
"she weren’t much a looker in her youth but she’s aged well enough. harmless goofy comfortable pap. they only advertised one twister and there’s like five or six of them, that’s a bargain. psh and paxton is a dream combo, miss both those fellows. I forgot I how much of a swollen hot boner I have for helen hunt."

| 85 75% | Godzilla Minus One (2023) - Rated 09 Jul 2024
"I can’t believe I got teary eyed over a Godzilla movie. I know I’m getting older and my T levels are dropping but that wasn’t it. I had my T checked like a month ago and we’re flowing baby. Nah this movie just got me. My only taste of the Zilla outside of the OG was the America ones and man they’re offensively awful in comparison. Especially that Emmerich turd which is undoubtedly the worst film I’ve ever seen. kinda justified my Netflix subscription too, hadn’t used that ina while. Great filme"
