Nosferatu (2024)
★★★☆☆ (3 stars)
I dunno. It looked fantastic, but cinematography can only carry so much water. I liked the creepy first 30 minutes, then lost interest.

Get Away (2024)
★★☆☆☆ (2 stars) Sometimes a twist can make an average movie better. Other times, it sends it off a cliff. Might have helped if it was actually funnier. -
Challengers (2024)
★★★☆☆ (3 stars) I disliked everyone. Stop moping. I like tennis, but not enough, I guess, because I didn't really care who won. Zandaya is great, though. -
Flow (2024)
★★★★☆ (4 stars) Beautiful and mesmerizing. There were no humans and no talking. This was a pleasant change of pace from many of the recent movies I've watched. This is what animation is for. I admit to wishing some of it was less ambiguous, but ultimately that probably makes it better. -
A Real Pain (2024)
★★★☆☆ (3 stars) "Do Roman Roy, but with (slightly) less asshole" -
Cunk on Life (2024)
★★★★☆ (4 stars) Normally, cringy stuff like this puts me off, but if I let anyone make me cringe, it's Philomena Cunk. I laughed out loud nearly the entire time. -
The Godfather (1972)
★★★★★ (5 stars) It's just about perfect. -
Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl (2024)
★★★★★ (5 stars) Don't you just love a handmade, stop-motion movie about runaway "smart" technology? I did. Packed to the rafters with whimsy. -
Camera (2024)
★★★☆☆ (3 stars) I saw it as a story about the transformative nature of photography, but covered in so much syrup that I couldn't breath. There's such a thing as too much sentimentality, and this film is a case study. -
Maxxxine (2024)
★★★☆☆ (3 stars) It doesn't even need to make sense. Just LOOK at it. Also, I neeeed more Michelle Monaghan and Bobby Cannavale as 80s detectives. -
Ghostlight (2024)
★★★★★ (5 stars) Devastating and wonderful. I cried a lot and walked away feeling joyous and hopeful. This is why I love movies. -
The Bikeriders (2024)
★★★☆☆ (3 stars) Someone said this had "...a cast that feels like the Avengers of sexy method weirdos" and that's about right. If this movie was a band it would be "Wannabe Tom Waits and the Accents." I don't know if Comer's accent was good or not, but it was distracting and ruined every scene she was in. -
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (2024)
★★★☆☆ (3 stars) I like the Apes movies. This was one of them. -
Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F (2024)
★★★☆☆ (3 stars) All I wanted was Eddie Murphy doing his thing as Foley. I got that. It was a fun enough nostalgia trip. -
The Fuzz (2013)
★★☆☆☆ (2 stars) Making puppets do edgy, adult things isn't enough to justify an entire movie. It was fun for a half-hour, though. -
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024)
★★★★☆ (4 stars) It left me out of breath and wanting nothing. Anya Taylor-Joy did a fine job of filling impossible-to-fill shoes. Who doesn't love a movie during which you say, "Woah, cool" about 100 times? -
The Fall Guy (2024)
★★★★☆ (4 stars) Super fun! Maybe one day I'll have had too much Ryan Gosling, but today is not that day. And I adore everything about Emily Blunt. Watching this movie made me happy and that's all I want. It was neat seeing Lee Majors in a cameo. -
Late Night with the Devil (2023)
★★★☆☆ (3 stars) Fun, creepy, 70s late-night found footage horror. Wondering where and who the devil was going to be was the fun part. After that it was less fun, but still good. -
Molli and Max in the Future (2023)
★★★★☆ (4 stars) I did not expect to end up giving this 4 stars but it totally deserves 4 stars. Weird and cute and a lot of fun. -
L.A. Confidential (1997)
★★★★☆ (4 stars) I love a good noir and this is a good noir. -
Once Upon a Time in the West (1968)
★★★★★ (5 stars) I don't normally bother with westerns but this movie makes me love westerns. The score is fantastic. The cast is even better. -
Sasquatch Sunset (2024)
★★☆☆☆ (2 stars) I didn't get along with this at all. Poignant or gross, maybe pick just one. -
Planet of the Apes (1968)
★★★★☆ (4 stars) I don't remember so much talking. It's like a cultural lesson with a couple of fight scenes. -
High Fidelity (2000)
★★★☆☆ (3 stars) I'd forgotten how annoyingly whiny Rob is. It's like reading my own poetry from high school. I'm just here for the record store and Jack Black's little spinney dance move. And Dick. -
Godzilla Minus One (2023)
★★★★☆ (4 stars) I've never cared about anyone in a Godzilla movie, but I cared about everyone in this Godzilla movie.
