Movie Journal
A Big Bold Beautiful Journey (2025)
★★★
We’re all broken, and all we need is a bit of hope. This film was a bit sloppy, and maybe it just found me at a very relevant time in life, but I found it to be real and beautiful.
Project Hail Mary (2026)
★★★★★
A rewatch worthy of IMAX. Still so, so stunning… I really got to pay attention to the little details in the score, the camera work, and the effects. In between viewings, I read the book. I can see why some people might take issue with Grace’s portrayal and the lack of science that really makes the book shine, but I think this is a top-tier adaptation that molds well to the medium of film.
Late Night with the Devil (2023)
★★★
½
Twilight Zone meets Exorcist. One hell of a fun time.
Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century (1999)
½
Still waiting for Cetus-Lepetus to be a thing. Watched this to compare to Project Hail Mary. They’re the same picture.
She Dances (2025)
★★★★
That was gentle and beautiful and really dug much deeper than I expected. It felt like there was a lot of room for this to be cliche or insincere or just leave me not caring about the characters, but none of that happened.
I really enjoyed the story and genuine portrayal of grief, and that couldn’t have happened without our father/daughter leads doing a fantastic job.
Everybody to Kenmure Street (2026)
★★★★
I feel like I was given this to prepare for something
See You When I See You (2026)
★★★★
That was really, really hard to watch
Nino (2025)
★★★★
For 90 minutes, I just wanted to scream at the screen and everyone he met “CAN’T YOU SEE HE HAS CANCER?!?”
Amrum (2025)
★★
½
That woman was the wurst.
The Christophers (2025)
★★★
½
To last, in the mind of others…
