Movie Journal
One Battle After Another (2025)
★★★★★
Just as enthralling on second watch. Every minute.
Since I first watched this, the government tyranny has grown and grown and grown…
Vive la révolution!
Hamnet (2025)
★★★★★
Absolutely jaw dropping performances, especially from Jessie Buckley. And, surprisingly, from our little titular boy, Hamnet??? Gorgeous everything, from the setting to the camera work and everything in between…
I didn’t mean to gloss over it — Jessie Buckley better win best actress for this or so help me…
Black Narcissus (1947)
★★★
½
Gorgeous and moody. Do the Himalayas really make you that horny?
Paris, Texas (1984)
★★★★
½
May none of us ever feel that kind of hurt.
May every one of us experience the level of beauty from each shot of this movie.
Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025)
★★★
I had fun and it was pretty, so I guess that’s all that really matters.
Superman (2025)
★★★★
Well that was way better than I anticipated. A genuinely good super hero movie? A novel take on century-old IP while still staying true to the source? Good camera work??? I’ll be seeing the next one from Gunn, that’s for sure.
Skyscraper Live (2026)
½
Butthole puckered for an hour and a half
Free Solo (2018)
★★★★
Watched on Friday January 23, 2026.
Train Dreams (2025)
★★★★★
Absolutely stunning
No Other Choice (2025)
★★★★
A fun time looking at bleak times. Park gives us a visually beautiful view of late-stage capitalism with his own unique style that builds on the classically Korean, genre-shifting filmmaking style that I’ve come to really adore.
Anti-capitalism is hot right now and I’m here for it.
