Bio: A movie only gets a bad score (less than 50) from me if it breaks the number one rule in filmmaking: Bores the audience. If at any point in watching a movie I think I want to be somewhere else, the movie fails.

"Breezy and fun portrait of people who pushed back against a ruling class to barely break out, sort of. For fifty years now, still, somehow."
|
| 80 44% | Civil War (2024) - Rated 15 Nov 2024
"More inscrutable than Garland's other fare—too much for me, in fact. The pieces are all there, and the Odyssey structure works really well, but to what end? Politics is tribal and complicated? And sometimes not complicated?"

| 80 44% | Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) - Rated 15 Nov 2024
"I enjoyed it quite a bit, and found very little to dislike. There's a limit to how many fourth-wall breaks are acceptable, sure, but it stays on the right side. And it does so with one of the most exhilaratingly silly cameos (in a movie packed with them) in movie history."

| 90 66% | Reality (2023) - Rated 22 Sep 2024
"Outstanding and tense, somehow, given that the dialogue is just an interrogation interview. Really phenomenal direction and performances elevate it to something special."
|
| 95 88% | Dune: Part Two (2024) - Rated 28 Jun 2024
"Basically flawless, beautiful, and super complicated."
|
| 95 88% | Barbie (2023) - Rated 04 Apr 2024
"Manages to be cute without being cloying, and tells an old story with a flair perfectly suited for 2023. I can't think of anything really wrong with it. It's just great."

| 90 66% | Jury Duty (2023) - Rated 06 Mar 2024
"Deserves to be watched in full right from the outset based on the sheer amount of work, but really earns it, too. Genuinely lovely and sweet."
|
| 80 44% | Bottoms (2023) - Rated 06 Mar 2024
"Clearly inspired by the perfection that is Wet Hot American Summer, in a mostly positive way. The script is solid, and everything comes together very well with some genuine heart. The haphazard combination of everything isn't for me, but it's admirable."

| 90 66% | Maestro (2023) - Rated 06 Mar 2024
"Hard to discern a point, which works for the material—Bernstein leeches, his family grits their teeth, and he ultimately triumphs, but what's the cost? Cooper and Mulligan are both phenomenal, and like A Star Is Born, the text elevates the central female by virtue of Cooper's galactically committed performance."
|
| 90 66% | Killers of the Flower Moon (2023) - Rated 06 Mar 2024
"Extremely well made, with extraordinary nuance and care at every level. I would have preferred it were shorter, because the runtime is hard to justify."
