Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure 1989
*thinking i just watched my best friend get brutally slain* this is most non-triumphant

The Disaster Artist 2017
Funny and heartfelt. James Franco makes a great Tommy Wiseau. Good performances from Seth Rogen and the rest of the film crew as well. I watched this after a particularly depressing episode of The Sopranos and it was like therapy.

Dune 2021
Villeneuve did an excellent job of translating a rich, complicated lore into a plot that is possible to follow without so many dumb Marvel-esque quips. Stacked cast and looked and sounded great in IMAX. It’s long but it had a lot to get through so it didn’t feel like it dragged at all. Now I want to rewatch Lynch’s Dune because it’s been so long that all I remember about it is Sting.
P.S. I would kiss the worm !!!!!!!!!!!!

The Green Knight 2021
Great acting, beautiful to look at (cinematography-wise and Dev Patel-wise) but ultimately a bit forgettable? I enjoyed the ride it took me on but I think I was expecting more from it. Very A24, which can be hit or miss for me. Still, a good watch and I definitely understand the hype it’s getting.

Bo Burnham: Inside 2021
Bo toes the line of the self-referential, self-deprecatory, meta-for-meta’s-sake “uh yeah, THAT happened!” humor of early-Youtube millennials, but his musical and comic talents keep his content funny and interesting, and I can’t help but be entertained. During the show I had to google his height and if he had a girlfriend for scientific reasons

Mystic River 2003
The movie absolutely does the book justice, but I wouldn’t expect any less from Clint Eastwood. Great acting from Penn, Robbins, Bacon, Fishburne, Harden, and Linney. Cool small role for Eli Wallach. And it’s a Boston movie so they sprinkled in a Wahlberg brother for funsies. The Boston accents are sorta laughable but so are real Boston accents so it works.

Ocean's Eight 2018
Very fun. So funny that the lore is that Danny Ocean died and there’s just a picture of the “late” George Clooney smiling on Sandra Bullock’s desk. Also glad to see cameos from some of the original 11 (well, Soderbergh’s original 11). STACKED cast too!
