#Watching THE PARENTING

A mini Clockwatchers reunion delivers more laughs than you'd expect any straight-to-stream comedy horror movie. A mini Clockwatchers reunion with a better cast than any straight-to-stream horror comedy has the right to be.

letterboxd.comA ★★★ review of The Parenting (2025)"You know what they say about potatoes?" A mini Clockwatchers reunion delivers more laughs than you'd expect any straight-to-stream comedy horror movie. A mini Clockwatchers reunion with a better cast than any straight-to-stream horror comedy has the right to be. HBO Max players fulfilling some kind of contract with alumni from Succession and The Sopranos each getting one scene to delivers laughs. Lisa Kudrow sneaks in the best lines of the movie or at least delivers them that way. Similar to every haunted house movie you've seen, but now peppered with 90s and aughties TV stars. Parker Posey MVP of

#Watching MICKEY 17

Far from Bong Joon Ho's best, but after an interminable first act Mickey finally gets its footing.

All the characters are played pretty broadly (think Jake Gyllenhaal's character in Okja, but it's everybody) and it takes you a bit to deal with whatever accent Robert Pattinson is doing.

letterboxd.comA ★★★ review of Mickey 17 (2025)Far from Bong Joon Ho's best, but after an interminable first act Mickey finally gets its footing. All the characters are played pretty broadly (think Jake Gyllenhaal's character in Okja, but it's everybody) and it takes you a bit to deal with whatever accent Robert Pattinson is doing. After Mickey goes full Multiplicity with a scifi/satire bent, then 17 picks up steam and you finally feel invested. You've seen it better executed in Snowpiercer, but there's nothing else opening this weekend so why the Ho not.

#Watching CITY OF JOY

Well meaning and featuring one of Patrick Swayze's best performances but this leans into the white savior trope for too much of its runtime. Look at white man save poor brown people. Was originally supposed to be the Point Break sequel but Keanu Reeves fell off a table.

letterboxd.comA ★★½ review of City of Joy (1992)Well meaning and featuring one of Patrick Swayze's best performances but this leans into the white savior trope for too much of its runtime. Look at white man save poor brown people. Was originally supposed to be the Point Break sequel but Keanu Reeves fell off a table. You don't hate it but you roll your eyes at least as much as your heart is yanked.

#Watching LONE STAR

John Sayles hyperlink drama is one of the best movies of the 90s.
Featuring a pre stardom Matthew McConaughey and Frances McDormand, Chris Cooper in an excellent lead performance and giant hats.

letterboxd.comA ★★★★★ review of Lone Star (1996)John Sayles hyperlink drama is one of the best movies of the 90s. Featuring a pre stardom Matthew McConaughey and Frances McDormand, Chris Cooper in an excellent lead performance and giant hats. Kris Kristofferson is casually racist and evil. His mustache terrifies. Ostensibly a mystery but it evolves as a deeply felt character piece so it's not so much about solving the mystery as to the why something happened. The less you know going into it the better. PS- I think McConaughey's hat and badge get bigger in every shot.

#Watching ZOMBEAVERS

By far, the best Beaver centered horror movie since Dario Beaver-Gento's Beav-Spiria.

letterboxd.comA ★★★ review of Zombeavers (2014)By far, the best Beaver centered horror movie since Dario Beaver-Gento's Beav-Spiria. The fact that somebody bankrolled this gives me faith that we'll all be okay. The zombeavers themselves look pretty decent and within the confines of the budget, the kills are more than adequate. You don't watch a movie like Zombeavers for insights into humanity and you won't get it here. What you will get are Zombies and Beavers combines to form... ZOMBEAVERS!!!....! Other beaver related titles. Schindler's Beavers. 12 Years A Beaver.

#Watching THE COUNTERFEITERS

When you have to watch a World War 2 movie with subtitles in order to keep your cinephile card.
Doesn't feel as much like homework as most of these movies, um, FILMS of the same ilk. There are some genuinely earned compelling moments that don't feel manufactured for an Oscar clip.

letterboxd.comA ★★★½ review of The Counterfeiters (2007)When you have to watch a World War 2 movie with subtitles in order to keep your cinephile card. Doesn't feel as much like homework as most of these movies, um, FILMS of the same ilk. There are some genuinely earned compelling moments that don't feel manufactured for an Oscar clip. It's got Nazis, which is a key ingredient in any obvious piece of Oscar bait. There are some moral dilemmas that don't feel like a message pounded into you. Real and not counterfeit for most of the running time.

#Watching CAPTAIN AMERICA BRAVE NEW WORLD

Agressively average Marvel content, but it's not for lack of trying. It took four Marvel bots, um, writers to make content this meh-dle of the road. But it's Marvel so you weren't expecting much in the first place.

letterboxd.comA ★★½ review of Captain America: Brave New World (2025)Agressively average Marvel content, but it's not for lack of trying. It took four Marvel bots, um, writers to make content this meh-dle of the road. But it's Marvel so you weren't expecting much in the first place. Anthony Mackie and Harrison Ford and trying their hardest to make you invested in something so generic. You like it's trying to be a political thriller instead of the usual superhero vanilla, but everything is so by-the-numbers it feels like an extended episode of a Disney Plus series you long gave up on. After 500 movies, you already know if you're going

#Watching STARRY EYES

Maybe this bloody valentine will lead help more movies with two organs in the title get greenlit.

letterboxd.comA ★★★ review of Heart Eyes (2025)Solid premise and some inventive kills make this the best movie to see on Valentine's Day with someone you love or don't love or to see by yourself if no one loves you. 90 minutes of romcom cliches turned on its ear and other body parts inside out. The killer reveal(s) are the least interesting part of the movie and the film treats them that way. Almost treated as a throwaway, and the least developed part of what's been a very fun horror movie. Maybe this bloody valentine will lead help more movies with two organs in the title get

#Watching PHANTOMS

"Affleck was the bomb in Phantoms yo".
The shoddy Fx shows the filmmakers gave up because they knew it was terrible.
Ben Affleck droning his lines comforted by the fact that no will see this except in a "terrible movie" montage.
Peter O Toole? Sorry, sir.

#Watching SMILE 2

Finally getting around to this because I didn't like the original Smile as it was just idiotic and repetitive jump scares that got dull after you saw them the first 50 times in one act.
Sequel is a marked improvement thanks to gore and Naomi Scott.
Sequel better than the original, not that the bar was set high.
