2024

Missing

wild and slow

Chronicle

Still maybe the most fun super power movie next to Thelma.

Thin Red Line

War sucks.

The Killer

A few cool bits but deeply in the mid-quality Netflix realm.

Prevenge

A fun film similar to My Wrongs 8245–8249 & 117

The International

Halogen to the core

Syriana

What a cast!

Alien: Romulus

Right in my q zone.

The Old Guard

Re-watching after listening to the Blank Check episode and it was much more fun this time.

Twisters

I like the blank check theory that glen powell had sex with the mom, which led to no kissing at the end.

Sneakers

Ben Kingsley’s little ponytail.

The Instigators

It’s nice to see a fun action comedy.

Borderlands

Wow this was horrible. Bobby Lee the only laugh.

Psycho (remake)

Watched because Blank Check mentioned it on a Demme episode. Weird.

Maxxxine

Way more fun than I expected.

Lucy

Absurd.

Trap

Thankfully this takes place in the Unbreakable universe.

Joker

Maybe Todd should’ve just stopped.

Kill

Chekhov’s hammer.

Quiet Place: Day One

Good job cat.

Waterworld

Wet Max.

Bad Boys: Ride or Die

Lots of fun action.

Synechdoche

Hits different at 39.

Thelma

Wow. I loved every minute. All of the action tropes slowed and heightened. Straight up the middle good time.

Longlegs

Hail Satan.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes

I kinda don’t care about these CGI apes. Like, the CGI is good but it’d be cooler if they were cats.

Beverly Hills Cop

Haven’t seen this since I was a kid and it still rules.

Manchurian Candidate

Liev Schreiber inexplicably playing Buttigieg.

Fly Me to the Moon

The kind of up the middle romantic comedy I’ve missed.

The Watchers

Good vibes and a solid pace.

In a Violent Nature

Conceptually interesting, but mostly unsatisfying.

Kinds of Kindness

Hilarious.

The Boy and the Heron

Gorgeous.

Master Gardner

Hammer time.

The Beast

Super slow from the jump. Back half was way more interesting but ultimately not my jam.

The Strangers: Chapter 1

One of the more engaging thrillers I’ve seen in a minute.

Hit Man

A hoot. More charming than I expected.

Sex and the City 2

Just yelling “who wanted this?!”

Sex and the City

All the outfits are deeply upsetting but the line “BOTH OF THEM?!” got me.

Lumberjack Monster

SPD psycho.

Downsizing

A little too self-serious at times but weird and good.

La Chimera

Yow! Charming as hell!

Tarot

A way worse Final Destination.

The First Omen

It would be more fun if I enjoyed this kinda thing but I’ve watched so many of these and they never hit.

Stress Positions

This felt like my limited experience of trans New York, and is also the best pandemic movie.

Furiosa

Rude Tales ass names.

Fall Guy

Stunts are cool.

Pulse

Still hits.

Chime

Honestly expected shōnen bat to appear. Perfectly disturbing.

Bones and All

Music wasn’t as good as Challengers but the movie was more fun.

Triangle

Triangle of badness.

Challengers

Not for me.

Maboroshi no Hikari

Koreeda really knows how to make devastating films about family.

I Saw the TV Glow

“I just like TV shows”

Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare

Killing nazis is great.

Abigail

Unofficial M4gan?

Evil Does Not Exist

Yow.

Arcadian

Nic Cage being somewhat low-key is always wild.

American Gangster

Ridley Scott has a few slam dunks and this is one of them.

Fire Island

Great camp movie for a camping trip.

Mars Express

Super cool!

Argo

A hoot.

Problemista

One day I will make a brilliant movie to malign my most hated piece of software.

Zone of Interest

The sound. Horrifying.

Humane

lol.this would also make a fun play.

Monkey Man

Hell yes.

The People’s Joker

Some brilliance and a lot of silliness.

Rebel Moon

Tell don’t show.

Immaculate

Yawn

Civil War

Holy shit what a movie!

Beekeeper

Absurd but also a totally fun savior fantasy.

American Society of Magical Negroes

Kinda wild that this was also a romantic comedy.

Late Night with the Devil

A wild blend of a lot of horror into a new classic.

Barbie

Imagine being the only gay Barbie in a world that ignores you. Mid as hell.

Roadhouse

Man, steroids in Hollywood having a moment.

Love Lies Bleeding

Muscle babes.

One Shot

A call of duty cutscene but better.

The Accountant

It’s tax season.

Color Out of Space

Very silly. Lovecraft films always suffer from needing to show the unimaginable.

All of Us Strangers

Strangely I read the book this was loosely based on back in college in 2003 or 2004 (which I only realized this was based on a book after this year’s Blankies). I haven’t seen Saltburn, but licking cum off Andrew Scott’s chest then kissing him is way cooler than bathwater, IMO. Also this was devastating.

The Burial

A hoot

Terminator Genisys

Serviceable!

Tenet

A 70mm rewatch in IMAX. Stunning.

Drive-away Dolls

Fun stuff.

Next Goal Wins

putting your fingers in your mouth and saying whistle whistle is solid

Self Reliance

could a depressed person do this?! A B-grade The Game

The Animal Kingdom

I feel like only the French could make a sci-fi movie like this.

Monolith

Spooky

Iron Claw

Damn I wish they hadn’t cancelled Mindhunter

Sleeping with Other People

Charming.

Guilt Trip

Just bing it.

American Fiction

Funny, and also it’s bizarre that Adam Brody is somehow not the rich nerd from the O.C. anymore. I’m a sucker for anything with Jeffrey Wright.

The End We Start From

Loved the book, and the movie was solid.

ISS

Never go to space.

Role Play

No one is that uncomfortable talking about sex, surely.

Anon

Meh.

Wonka

More fun than I thought it would be.

Night Swim

Sorry, pools aren’t scary.

Ferrari

Somehow this is my favorite Adam Driver performance.

Boston Strangler

Gilded Age’s the Russells solve a mystery.

Schindler’s List

No words.

The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill

So funny and touching. Saw this for the first time with the main guy and the filmmaker in attendance and wow.

Maestro

Damn.

The Artifice Girl

Cool conceptually and a good display that sci-fi doesn’t need a high budget to be interesting and fun.
