  Every film could be improved by adding Eugenio Derbez to the cast.

  Mona Lisa Smile 2003

  ★★★ Watched by Cat 05 Mar 2022

  I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Kirsten Dunst does her best work when she’s playing a snotty brat.

  Everything Everywhere All at Once 2022

  ★★★★★ Watched by Cat 11 Mar 2022

  Holy shit. 

  A story that begins with a tax audit and morphs into something so unexpectedly deranged and complex that, 36 hours later, I’m still wondering how I was laughing at hot dog fingers and butt plugs one minute and sobbing like a baby the next.

  It was a wild ride that I never wanted to end. Michelle Yeoh, Stephanie Hsu, and Ke Huy Quan anchor the insanity, and ultimately sell us on an achingly real family love story.

  The Fallout 2021

  ★★★★½ Watched by Cat 20 Mar 2021

  Fuck. I think I’m still crying.

  First off, give Jenna Ortega all of the awards and praise for this performance. She was so so good. I’ve seen/liked her in smaller parts here and there, but this was such a strong part that I’m excited to see what she does next.

  Second, there’s nothing that takes me out of a high school movie faster than unrealistic dialogue or references that are trying too hard. Thank god this movie didn’t do either…
